What’s the hubbub with HubPages and why should it matter to you, me and everyone we know?
Well, for one, HubPages has many characteristics in common with Squidoo. Every published Hub Page is like a Squidoo “Lens” with informative tools about either your business, a product you carry, or some completely random topic to help generate visitors and link juice to and from your Lens and the website of your business. Secondly, you can include photos, videos, and other decorative background displays to give your Hub Page an identity all its own. And the most obvious similarity between HubPages and Squidoo is the shared community in which your page resides.
Ummmmm. Ok. What if I’m lazy and I don’t want to create another page?
Suffice it to say, procrastination’s not the answer. Not for you or the online marketing potential that HubPages brings to the table. That’s generally just a bad outlook all together.
Yeah, but where’s the bells and whistles?
That comes in the form of tags and proper categorization. If you’re the owner of an amusement park and you want to write off a number of detailed pages inviting the viral community on down, you can zero in on a variety of specific interests. Want to write an article about your new water slide, “The Hydra”? Your category will be setup as so: Sports & Recreation…Theme Parks…Water Rides. Your amusement park’s had a sparkling safety reputation since opening. Why not create a page detailing your park’s illustrious history and the proper safety measures your company has taken over those years? Suprisingly, there’s a third tier category titled, History of Theme Parks & Famous Accidents, that would fit that page.
It’s almost as if HubPages is psychic, eh?
No, they’re just properly organized. They present a number of great marketing methods available for small businesses, large businesses and everything else in between to make their presence known. Instead of confusion, it’s an orchestra of voices that can help promote what your business has to offer. Just put a little creativity towards your articles and you could be establishing a plethora of quality links back to your business’ website.
That’s it?
That’s just for starters. For now, here’s a starter kit to chew on until then.
