HubPages is a great place to get started if you want to write online, makes some friends, learn, and potentially earn money as you go!

There are many things that Hubbers can do on HubPages. Each Hubber is different and has their own personal reasons for joining the site.

Some are here just to make money while other's don't care about making money and are just here for the experience. Whatever your reason for joining, you are here and you want to make the most of your experience.

This article will discuss some of the things you can do right away on HubPages even if you are not ready to write Hubs. Following some of these suggestions will help you get familiar with HubPages, it's features and the most incredible community on the web!

1. Read Other Hubber's Hubs and Leave Insightful Comments

By reading other Hubber's Hubs you will get a better understanding of what looks good as far as formatting your own Hubs and you might find some inspiration from another Hubber.

Reading other's Hubs and leaving Insightful comments is a great way to meet new friends and get people to follow you back.

HubPages is a great community with "micro" communities of Hubbers that follow, comment and share each other's Hubs. Leaving Insightful Comments shows the Author Appreciation, allows for Suggestions and Positive Feedback, and is a great opportunity to share what you know and what you think about the topic of a Hub.


Talk With Other Hubbers!

2. Join a Conversation in the Forums

The Forums on HubPages are a great place to meet and engage with fellow Hubbers. There is a Forum on just about every topic imaginable, and if you can't find the Forum you are looking for, you can start your own new Forum Thread! As long as you are respectful of others and follow the HubPages Forum Rules and Guidelines, you can learn a lot and make some new friends!

Just remember that the Internet allows users to remain "anonymous" if they choose to. Always use caution when seeking professional advice as people may not always be who they appear to be. If you stick to fun topics that interest you in the forums, you can enjoy great discussions or "debates" (think politics and religion!) if that is what you enjoy!
