Rev: I am on your fan list, and you have some interesting Hubs. I don't know if your author score (hubpages ranking) is all that important as long as it's above whatever the magic number is (75? ) so that you get credit for AdSense clicks,If you are looking for fans on HubPages, then "fan" a lot more other Hubbers and some will reciprocate.
If you are looking to make AdSense/Amazon money, you don't really need fans on HubPages, you need to write on topics that are "commercial" and that Google will send search engine traffic to.
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.
