A Collection of Writings

I've been writing online for several years now, but it's only just become successful for me. This blog is an opportunity to share my writings along with tips for making it work on Hubpages, Squidoo, Wizzley and/or Zujava. I also provide commentary about these writing sites to give you an idea of which will make the best fit for your writings and your personality. I very much appreciate any visits that I get to the links that I post here, as those visits contribute to my earnings. Please share the links you like with others as well! The navigation has been broken down into my "main" tags to make it easier for you to make it through the material on this site. Links in particular will be plentiful, so be ready for them to appear under these tags!

February Milestones

February has been a month chock full of milestones, and while I ordinarily post things like this on my Blogger blog, I wanted to put this out there because this month has been so exciting for me.

This month I published 38 hub pages, nothing on Squidoo, Wizzley or Zujava. Of those, three were awarded the Editor's Choice award and one became Hub of the Day. Another one of my hubs -- this one from January, was also awarded Hub of the Day.

The best part is that I completed my second 30 hubs in 30 days challenge, which was quite a pleasant surprise. Obviously I went over that number, and my new goal is to publish at least 30 hubs every month. I'm working on making sure that all of my accounts are "current," which to me indicates that there are over 5 hubs on each account to make it an "official" Hubpages account.

My beckisgiftguides account current has 66 featured hubs on it with 36 followers and over 50,000 page views (actually more than 80,000 at the the time of writing). The way that I'm going, I'll be into the hundreds in no time with a very good body of work prepared.

At the moment I'm mostly covering topics relating to Easter and The Hunger Games, but if you have something you'd like to see, please feel free to send me an ask and I'll let you know if I can swing it! 

Thanks for reading!
