HubPages: 7 Things We Did to Beat Squidoo (Case of “less is more”)

I started dabbling in HubPages.com recently. You can write articles about any topic you know well, and if your work gets good traffic you will be paid. The brilliant thing is that you may write about whatever you wish, as long as you are informative, authoritative, and suitable for all audiences. At competitors like Demand Studios, writers must choose among very narrowly defined topics, many of which are quite esoteric and in this writer's view, not worth the effort of researching for the small financial gain of $7.50 in most cases. HubPages.com offers more freedom and hence will end up attracting the best writers. Demand Media, meanwhile, has begun offering some limited health benefits to prolific authors of articles and videos for Demand Studios, their online content creation factory.
