I find myself at a loss. I have tried to make Steemit and the whole blockchain thing work for me.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the platform. But damn it has been hard for me to find any kind of small measure of success.
It's time for a change for me, i think. That change will be HubPages.com.
I guess I feel as if, well, if I write something that I think people will want to read and something that might give me some reward, why shouldn't that return even if it is small, not keep coming instead of being limited to a few days.
So I have looked into different options and not having a lot of available dosh to fling around on creating my own website and getting my own domain or buying more Steem etc. I started looking around for options that were a little easy technically wise and something that would actually allow me the opportunity to get down to the thing that I actually enjoy. That thing is the actual writing.
For me, I think HubPages.com will bring me a chance to spread my wings a little and see what I can do in that area.
So, for now, I think I'll concentrate my efforts and see how I go.

Thanks for sharing this @paddygsound but in all due respect I thought this site was defunct or at best totally outdated and slapped majorly with penalties by the BIG G . No ???

Thanks for taking the time to comment @robertandrew.
That might be the case. I guess for me it is the just a chance to do something different, something a bit more flexible. If I find any success in it I will let you all know, as to will I let you know if it is a massive failure, which it could very well be.
Thanks again for stopping by!

Paddygsound? I'm glad to know that I'm not the only Hubber here on the Steemit platform. I only have 19 articles published on HubPages, but what I've been doing is taking as many opportunities as I can to mention my HubPages articles in my Steemit articles and including links to them in my Steemit articles to drive traffic to them so that they will continue to earn commissions. The big advantage of HubPages over Steemit is that you continue earning commissions on your HubPages articles indefinitely, whereas you stop earning commissions on your Steemit articles after seven days. The disadvantage of HubPages as opposed to Steemit is that HubPages is stricter than Steemit about what you can and cannot publish on that platform.
I know that some people have been earning up to $3,000 a month on HubPages. That is not an easy goal to reach, but it can be done. Keep me posted on how everything is going for you on that platform. By the way, I upvoted your article. :-)

Sorry I didn't see your message until just now. I hope you are doing well on the hubpages. This is the first time I have logged into steemit in 3 years.

Thank you for responding. Things are starting to pick up on my HubPages channel now that I have 71 articles published on it all together. However, I'm still not where I want to be with HubPages. Nevertheless, I like writing and publishing articles on my HubPages channel.
It's interesting that you said that you haven't logged into Steemit in 3 years. Ever since I created my Hive account on the Hive platform, I've also been kind of lazy about posting anything on Steemit. LOL! Life just has a way of standing in the way of one's literary aspirations. Anyhow, it was nice hearing from you.
