Yea, just comb my hubs about hubs and income earnings :) try using keywords "making money online" from my profile- as for others you can apply the same thing as many people write hubs about their successes. It's the best way to crystallize and document your journey- many people who are making a great deal of money here aren't in the success stories section- in fact that whole section is practically brand new so I doubt there exists any other years success stories as your looking for. There are, however several hundred hubbers that have, like me documented their success (both here and in Internet Marketing in general).
This thread is likely going to be pulled down for being "conversation starting" rather than "encouraging building hubs" from it- I've seen mine and others do this- apparently this section is not for question answers- it's for people sparking ideas to build hubs about- if it doesn't do that they pull it (takes a few days in my experience so you should get a few answers before it's pulled :). Good Luck! I think I'll start a question "what do you consider successful on hubpages" :).
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. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
