Enthused by responses received on my post about writing sites that pay, I revived my account at HubPages and started reading FAQs and stuff that guides one about how to write a perfect post. Reading alone took me well over a couple of hours. And as I was going through the requirements there my enthusiasm dwindled and finally came to a zero.
Added to it I picked a post written by a HubPager if that is the right word and that, all the more helped me to make up my mind. HumPages are not for me I have no patience to write those llengthy posts running into thousand and more words and then wait for a couple of years for earnings to start.
Virily is my kind of site and I will stick around here as long as Virily exists and I know it will for years to come.

I have been on HubPages for many years and have made many talented online friends who might have drifted from there but some stay on and some I have known for over 10 years. I used to try writing different topics on HubPages but in the early days, things did not work well and so I continue to post there but only poetry. I have not made a cent but my poetry does well just the same and I am featured on one of their other sites too. Now that they have so many other sites incorporated with them I might try writing some articles too. I do agree it is a difficult site if you are not interested in writing long articles.
Going by your posts here I think that site is meant for you but sad to know you did not earn anything and that is not a good thing.
I have a short attention span that I don’t have the patience to read more than 500 words.
But this site expects users to write long posts.
I have an account at Hubpages but have added only one post and left it inactive.
I have yet to start there but after reading FAQs and all other instructions decided it was not for me.
I have always been curious about this site, but I haven’t tried it yet.
I did get back there but gave up.
I write on Hubpages, yes. I agree, the earnings are slower there, but I like it there. I generally write about film and book reviews though, and they tend not to get so much hits. Some of them are doing quite well though.
Good you like it there That place is for those who like to write long posts.
I might look into Hubpages one day. I used to write on Associated Content where I wrote lengthier articles. I loved the writers there, but it is not there anymore.
I was there too and that was when I had just started writing and I used to be rejected by sites.
I tend to use different sites for different purposes, including HubPages.
It was your post I read there and found it to be so detailed that I thought such articles would be impossible for me to produce.
Since you say you have different purposes what would that be at HubPages?
Bigger news is now you don’t need anymore Adsense account.
You mean all this while users had to have an Adsense Account? I did not read about it there.
Yes and they got part of money directly on it.
I’m not on any other site …. I’ve been on Viril for too long
I used to be on many sites and did have a memorable experience with many
I said goodbye to Hub pages long ago
I have not yet started I do not like all those rules about sub headings and stuff and also recognition of long posts.
I too signed up for hubpages a long time ago. Some writers do very well there, it’s true. The sites just did not work for me.
Even those who do well there had to wait for two years to get their first payment.
That’s not good and I would have most like had left the site away. So, I am glad, that is one I did not stay with.
Thanks for your insights, pros and cons, about Hubpages.I have not replenished any new articles there yet. I’m procrastinating. :-/
While I do feel happy when I earn but I would do it with least exertion (lol)
I am not on Hubpages, I am only on Virily.
This site seems the best
They are called hubbers. I like writing lengthy articles. My patience has paid off because I earn more than a thousand views daily. It is worth it in the long term. Unlike Virily, you will always earn from your articles in the years to come.
OK Hubbers they are (lol) I have written for Iwriter posts running into 500 words plus but here I see they are quite long. I get a 1000 views a day on an average at Virily. And it is so easy to write here.
It is easier to write here and earn easily but old posts over here don’t get much or any view. In any case Virily offers easy ways to earn.
Exertion is not what I am looking for Introvert. For me online sites provide relaxation.
I get you. I always join writing sites with the intention of earning but end up making friends which is a good thing. Virily is more than an earning site, I must admit. It offers relaxation as you’ve stated.
