Why Hubpages is Like Highschool Romance

(The following is a joke. I realize that earning money requires patience.)

Highschool was a long time ago for me. This year will actually be the 10th year of actually living life, until Hubpages came along. I didn't know at first, but I guess that's how romance is, you just don't see the bad stuff coming until "BAM!", you're on the ground sucking your thumb.

I was looking for a way to make money (stop right there, this isn't that kind of story), when I came across Hubpages. Have you read the reviews for this place!? People find it amazing! So off I went, armed with visions of $1000 checks coming just for writing what little I know about random things. I'm not a greedy person, I had even resigned myself to thinking that I would make at most $50 a month, "not bad" I told myself. I started to write. This was the honeymoon phase, sure money would come slow, but you know, I was enjoying myself!

Look at all of those pageviews, wow! Little did I know then that they didn't mean a thing... It's the clicks you want... the clicks! I'm digressing.

-time passes-

I have now been at this for ~4 days. Not much I know, but enough to have made an honest effort to make my way in the Hubpages world. I've learned the tricks, I've seen a thing or two, but you know how much my 53 hubscore, and 11 hubs have made me? Guess. $20? Stupid question. $10? Psh, I wish! Nope, probably twenty hours of work has earned me $1.10. $1.10!!! That's 5.5 cents an hour! The homeless make more!

This, my friends, is why I relate Hubpages with highschool romance. Never since highschool love have I had to work so hard for so little! NEVER! But, just like highschool, I won't learn my leason. Nope, like the awkward boy I was then, I will soldier on.. even if it means just to be friends.
