How is it that some hubbers post 8 or 10 articles in one day? Am I naive? Ghost writers?

Posting 9 or 10 articles in one day is probably giving them a few cents a day (if that). Posting one article a day that has some quality in it would (in my opinion) make a lot more "cents"...Whereas posting one or two articles of HIGH quality per week will probably (over time) give you a half way decent income...Of course some people don't care about the money (or so they say) so posting "quantity" might be more more important to them then going for "quality". Reminds me of something a salespro once told me:"If ya throw enough shit on the wall, some of it's bound to stick..."Later!Dennis.

I ran across a hubber one day that offers to pay for articles on his profile page. I think he offered $10 for each article. Not everyone writes all of there own hubs obviously.

They could be cross-posting from another site where they've already written, or in the case you've described it sounds like they're just assuming that any kind of content will get them some income and so are throwing up as many hubs as possible in a short amount of time. That said, just because someone has 8-10 articles written in a single day, even high-quality ones, doesn't mean that they're not writing them themselves...some people may wait on posting their articles for one reason or another, or a full-timer writing on a subject they know well could quite conceivably write that many in a day. My own personal record was 12 in a day, but they were product reviews...and I work anywhere from 8-15 hours a day writing, anyone who only does it part-time would be hard-pressed to get those kinds of numbers.As far as automated responses to comments...that goes right along with the previous theory of people thinking that something will get them more income than nothing, which in the case of low quality isn't necessarily true.

Another possibility is that the author/comment replier does not have a strong grasp on the English language and doesn't even realize they're not making sense.

Ghost writers, usually, yeah. But the funny thing is, it's usually just one ghost writer! Me!

Seriously, I've filled a few hubpages accounts for other people before deciding to fill my own (and I've stopped ghosting for hubbers since I found out how neat the place is, and how unfortunately tainted it is by the quick-buck people I used to write for). I've definitely slowed my pace down in writing my own stuff, but I'd say that if you have a lot on your mind that day, you might be able to easily squeeze off anywhere from five to ten before hitting the hay. Of course, doing that on a daily basis definitely means that they're either hiring a ghost who just doesn't care (like me) or they just personally don't care about the quality (UNlike me).

Honestly, experience as a ghost writer has been a big help. You HAVE to write ten, twenty articles a day if you want to pay the rent. But quality suffers if you're writing those pages because you have to, not because you want to.

I will admit to just uploading some term papers from my grad school days, but even I don't have enough ready-made work to sustain that kind of activity for more than a week.

I really don't know and wouldn't want to accuse anyone of that. I guess if they post it on their site maybe their trying to make their own quota.

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.
