I'm not sure I agree that our individual sites at HP "are not ours." Content farm or not....we hubbers have our own personal acre. On the other hand, we don't all have our own website in addition to HP.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
