Graduation Day!

It's official: I'm a graduate of the HubPages Apprenticeship Program! I spent six months learning how to make a better brand of myself on HP (hence the lack of blog posts...). As of October, I now have 111 articles there, and if I do say so myself, they are of much better quality.

The little green 'a' next to my profile picture means I'm officially an alumni of the program. I was so excited to see it this morning!
What does this mean for me?

• I can churn out articles much faster than I ever could. 
• I understand more about properly using keywords and reaching my audience.
• I was able to earn some extra cash for every hub I published, plus the regular ad money I earned. 
• I know exactly what is expected of me, especially when representing the site and myself as a writer. 

If you already write for the site, check out the Apprenticeship. It can be difficult to keep up with, but it's well worth it. 
If you don't write for the site but might consider, give it a try! It's free, and there's the potential to earn money online. Read more about it and join here. 
Well, now that I have some 'down' time, I should be posting more here. That, and taking care of my pregnant self and the kiddos.
