It's not easy to have a successful hub for the search engines and then make sure it is set with proper keyword planning and then the URL is submitted to all of the most important locations for linkbuilding and the extras like submitting to dozens of places takes your attention away from focusing on just writing great articles that are engaging for your readership, but are essential to be successful writing online.

If you do not enjoy typing in lots of random words around a specific topic on google keywords tool or other keyword research tools that help you gauge the competitiveness of a specific word or family of keywords within Google than just outsource it.

Put a project proposal in the marketing section on a freelance outsourcing website for website keyword search and you will quickly find people that can help you search for keywords based on your criteria.  Whether you are looking for niche words in the automotive industry or any word that has a large number search terms (based on a number you define as worth pursuing) with a low competitive rate.

Get support coming up with new ideas for a specific topic, if you like to write about a specific industry or only in a certain category than have someone brainstorm a bunch of ideas and provide you the keyword data for those ideas to help you come up with topics to focus on quickly.

Finding the right images that are acceptable to use is not always easy when creating your hubs. A couple of ways to save time for yourself and focus on writing content rather than searching for pics or fooling around with illustrator and photoshop is to hire someone that can pull lots of images for you to use that come from sites you select and based on your qualifications for pictures to use or get an artist that can work up some cool images at very reasonable rates.  You can hire a designer for $5-8 an hour that can make you lots of unique designs that you can use for many different hubs to provide images and unique content related to your topic.

If you know of several topics that you are planning on writing for the next couple of weeks cause you are trying to do the 30 day challenge or just committing yourself to writing as many hubpages as you can in the near future.  Send the list to your virtual assistant and have them pull relevant books, movies, or whatever products that make sense based on the topics you provided that are sold in amazon.  This helps when making the hub you can quickly grab the links and drop them in rather than go off and do an amazon search for 10 - 15 minutes or more to get the right product listings.

If you are interested in what other hubpage writers are writing about and if your topic is going to be unique the hubpage community you can hire a VA to read through other hubs and provide insight to how you should focus your hubs to make them unique for the topic as well as to find relevant hubs that you should link to in the article versus a random page from the suggested links.  You can also have them help you find a list of people that are writing on similar topics as you to reach out to and follow and start engaging with their hubs.

If you dont want to manage your own twitter account it is very cost effective to hire a person that manages your twitter account on a weekly basis.  Send them random tweets and ideas for topics that you want them to focus the twitter account on and then when you complete a new hub send them the link and they can send it to your twitter community of followers.

It is a good strategy to submit your hubpage URL's to several different locations around the web besides just to facebook and twitter.  One of these is to ping sites, their are several different ping aggregator sites on the web and they will send the URL to dozens of sites like search engines and other content indexing type sites.  Have someone go out to the various popular engines and submit the URL's of your new hubs.

Submitting the URL's of all your hubpage articles to the various social bookmarking sites like Stumbleupon and delicious is relatively easy but if you want to start submitting them to many more like pearltrees, mister wong, blinklist, etc. then having someone support you with these activities is very important.  There are around 40 different social bookmarking sites that make sense to submit to however there are many more than that.  Decide what you are comfortable with spending to promote your hubs as you publish them and hire someone for social bookmarking support.

Everyone knows that you need to have lots of links incoming to your hubs from relevant sites to improve your ranking in google so one way you can do this if you have your own websites and blogs that have topics similar to your hubpage topics is to reference your hubpage articles in your website or blog.  Don't have duplicate content is a big rule so you can leverage an outsourced contractor to write you short blog articles on your own websites that include a link to your website.  You can also create wordpress or google blogger blogs for this purpose as well.

Hire someone to create a short 1.5 - 2 minute video that is either them talking about the topic of your hub or a gallery of photographs / pictures relevant to your hubpage topic.  These videos can be uploaded to youtube, vimeo, tumblr and many other places where you can also include a information about your hub and keyword focused link.  Some of these types of links will be no follow, but its ok, and there is still visibility to potential readers that are searching for content about the topic in the video site. 

Many facebook groups allow anyone to share with the group community which provides you a platform to share your hubpage with lots of people.  It's best to make sure that the groups you submit the hubpage to are similar to the topic as no one likes spamming about a random idea in a focused discussion forum / facebook group however, submitting relevant well researched and written articles can be received with open arms by facebook communities.

In closing you do not need to hire anyone to make hubpages that you and the hubpage community can enjoy, however it can be effective in supporting your goals in hubpages if you are seeking to quickly build a large number of very topic focused hubs and promote them through the search engine friendly sites as well as on social networks such as twitter and facebook.

Next time you sit down to write several hubs on a new topic write down a few tasks you would outsource if you could, if you have the means give it a try and see if writing or promoting the hubs went better than expected and pay off in the long term for having hubpages with very solid foundations from research in the beginning and a strong social media and SEO emphasis.
