My first Hubpages accolade – 10 answers

When I started reading Hubs on Hubpages one of the things I noticed is that alot of people had symbols on their profile which demonstrated their achievements.

To the reader this gave them instant credibility and made you want to read their articles, so I thought this would be something that could help me gain readership.

There are at least 14 different accolades you can achieve on Hubpages and some are easier to achieve than others. For example, the ‘Hub views’ accolade only kicks in after 1000 views and the ‘Years on Hubpages’ requires at least 1 year.

As with most undertakings, it often helps to start small so I decided to go for the ‘low hanging fruit’ i.e. the accolades that can be achieved quickly and relatively easily.

One of easiest and most enjoyable activities on Hubpages is answering other people’s questions. The added bonus of this is that you only need to answer 10 to get your first accolade. Although, I started this activity as a means of quickly getting an accolade for my profile page, I quickly realised that it was a great way to share your thoughts and also introduce yourself to other Hubbers. I was also surprised to see that other people really liked my answers and many times had voted my answers up over other responses.

This whole process suddenly became extremely beneficial as people would read my answers and then check out my profile and/or my hubs.

Below are a couple of of my answers :

Do you think regret is healthy ?

For me personally I determine whether regret is healthy or unhealthy by looking at the behaviour that follows.

For example Person A may regret something and they will identify the mistake and figure out how to avoid the same error in the future.

Person B may also regret some element of their life but they will develop negative associations, experience reduced self esteem and/or indulge in destructive behaviour.

I think we can all find things to regret in our life but it all comes down to our ability to learn and move forward.

Do you feel insecure when your partner innocently looks at an attractive lady or guy

No I don't. I just remember that physical attraction to a stranger is completely different to what we have as a couple. How does a six pack outweigh years of commitment, support, conversations and shared experiences ?.

If your partner is happy with you physically and you have a good quality relationship I don' think there is anything to worry about.

So after 10 answers I finally achieved my first accolade
