Health Awareness and 30 Hubs
Joining the March health and wellness month at HubPages and contest, my goal was to make a hub on every subject presented and to go for the 30 Hubs in 30 day challenge. Winning the daily contest would have been a plus, though not expected.
Prior to starting this, I had been a member on Hubpages for 9 months. Yet felt like a newbie. I missed out on the Hubnuggets when I first joined.
Just a month before starting this contest and challenge, I had 94 followers and 13 hubs. As of publishing this hub, I have 249 followers and 43 hubs.
I still don’t get the number system on HubPages. I have seen Hubbers with short Hubs and high scores. (Not to say there are plenty of long Hubs with high scores.) I have seen Hubbers with few followers and Hubs with overall high hubscores. (Again the opposite applies too.)
I do realize that content, participation and keywords do play a part in this. Working on the right keywords is something I need to work on. My highest hubscore reached the low 90s, but not sure if I will see that again. Low 80s seem to be the place for me.
I am not a health professional. I am a researcher and have researched health issues for years. Seeing the March health contest here on HubPages, I knew this was something that I could do with my 30 day challenge. This hub is number 30 and a great way to include all the health hubs for this challenge.
