Confessions of a Pimp
83
I hereby confess....
Forgive me HubPages, but I must confess. I am a pimp. I am a sinner. I have been a pimp for many months now. I have corrupted innocent friends who are now also pimps. I have attracted a fanatical following of pimps and they are prime pimpers. Each and every day they impress me with new moves and techniques they exhibit to flourish with their pimping abilities.
Proud Pimp...
Am I proud to be a pimp? Heck, yes! We gots to do what we gots to do to succeed in the hubbing community. Unlike other pimps I usually do my work during the day. I have a posse of pimps who cover my night-shifts and they cover all the corners! We stay off the streets and work out of our homes, which is a safer environment. You never know what you could catch out there! Some of us work from our phones and perform acts that way. This real cool cat named Steve Jobs has provided us pimps with ample options to get the job done. There are other cats out there who have also given us options, but I consider them second rate. Just sayin' my peeps.
Is this legit?
Pimping is legal! Trust me on this one! There is no jail time or need for a bail bondsman! Soliciting is mandatory, how else would you find your next customer! It's a simple process...I pimp you and you pimp me! We are both happy customers! Just hook each other up with a few clicks here and there and the job is done! I am too legit to quit, gots to keep each other motivated with finding different areas to find more action! Pimping is not all about "show me the money" even though for the right price you'll do anything...but with my pimping there's never a fee. No commission either. It's all about helping out a friend in need. It's about doing the deed. Pimping is a service that we call upon a girl or guy to do. Whether it's Madam or John! Just get 'er done.
"Pimp My Hub"
In order to pimp you must really have the desire. You must be passionate about it. There is no turning back once you start because it becomes an addiction. You crave the views you get and enjoy getting hit on! It's all about the numbers! Here's how I pimp....
- On Facebook! If you write a hub about a celeb or musician, like their group and pimp away!
- Google+ your hubs and share your followers hubs! We all like to be "plus one'd"!
- Twitter ... when tweeting a hub use a #hubpages so it shows up as a trending topic and in twitter searches! You could also tweet with a @ if you are following a topic or person you are tweeting about. Such as I wrote a hub on Keith Urban, when I tweet it I do so as @keithurban so that it goes to his timeline and hopefully one day he will respond! Wishful thinking.
- Add links to your hubs! Links of fellow hubbers who have written similiar hubs. I've noticed that a hub looks more polished when the links relate to a hub plus it's the HubPage Law.
- Use Stumpled Upon and pimp away ...
- Digg ... I digg you and you digg me! Simple!
- Email a link of your hub to friends, family, enemies ....
- MySpace is not a place of the past! For those who write music hubs, I highly recommend it! Since Justin Timberlake (Nsync) bought into the website it's doing very well! I pimp my music hubs there and have got hit on! The views are spectacular also!
- Create your own business cards! I carry mine around and since I'm known to be a bit of a talker I might happen to mention an article or two and then BAM my card is in their pocket!
- Create a T-Shirt with your web domain on it! "sunshine625.hubpages.com" make sure the letters are bright in case you are ever standing on a corner under a streetlight you will be noticed!
- Make a comment! On HubPages! Come on, pay attention! Comment on a hubber's hub so it will then be in your HubPages newsfeed for one of your followers to notice. Who doesn't like to be noticed?!? No fee is required either!
- Share your fellow hubbers hubs by clicking on the "share with followers" link! Yes, we do share each other on HubPages. It's all about teamwork! Protection is optional in case you share a bit too much!
- While commenting on a hub happen to mention a fellow hubber who you think might interest the writer. Who knows maybe they will hook up and give you a....
- Pin a hub on Pinterest!
- SHOUT-OUT which is always appreciated!
Pimping aka Sharing
After you have pimped your creative works of art and your followers works of art you lay back with a huge smile on your face. You have successfully satisfied the needs of yourself and of others. You are now an official pimp! Happy pimping!

Hi Megan! I'm glad my pimping hub was able to teach you something new. Good Luck! :)
I learned a bit about a new trade here on hubpages... how to be a pimp. Who would have thought? You are truly a riot Ms Sunshine! Lovin' it!
What a fun hub! I'm a pimp and I didn't know it!
Hilarious Hub and so true. We all help each other in this Hubbing/pimpin world we're a part of.
What a fun fun hub, which doesn't surprise me all of your hubs are fun, pimping makes the world go round, like us fat bottomed girls hehe (my Queen reference) love :) ge
You certainly know how to pimp things up! Great hub and fun to read and learn at the same time. Thanks for all the info and your followers for their great comments. Voted across the board.

Lisa RL
I'm pickin' up what you're layin' down, girlfriend! Do you really have the t-shirt, though? Seriously, I do need to go back and see where I can add links in my hubs to other hubs. Great article here, Sunshine. You're one of the best pimps I know!
LOL Vic, my T-shirt just says HubPages:)) Keep on pimpin'! Welcome aboard Lisa!! :)
Awesome, awesome hub Sunshine! I'm still laughing out loud. Great read and extremely useful tips as well! :)
Well.....I guess I'm the first "Cowboy Pimp"!!....LOL Loved the hub!
The first and my favorite Cowboy Pimp!:))
The first time I heard someone talk about "pimping something," I was shocked and outraged. Just goes to show how behind the times I was. Now I understand what it means and must say your tips for pimping our hubs are excellent. I especially like the t-shirt and biz card tips. I'm still getting the hang of StumbleUpon but I already do a lot of the things you suggest.
Very creatively written and informative hub! Rated up and (very) useful!
This is a great Hub and it reminded me that I have to start putting more time in on promoting and not just researching and writing. Not that I was not previously aware of the need for pimping (a more aggressive and catchier term than "marketing" which the word I usually use). I realize the importance of promoting both myself as a Hubber and my Hubs and have been doing this for the past six years since joining HubPages. But your Hub has reminded me that I have to do more in this area as well a continue publishing Hubs if I want to move my HubPage writing business to the next level.
Thank you for sharing your story PWalker. Pimping could be a good thing sometimes:)
Hi Chuck! Taking time to share, pimp and promote is always beneficial, but you already knew that:)
excellent hub, Linda. Pimped!
Nice idea. Generally useful and helpful too
Thank you Justin for the pimp!
Thanks Uban for stopping by!
Excellent SS - I am proud to say that I am slowly "learning the trade."
Sunshine, I have been at the hospital so much I missed this great hub.. I would love to be a pimp too.. LOL.
so I need help.. LOL
Take care. Sunshine
debbie
Hi SS! You are doing very well with learning the tricks of the trade:)
Hi Debbie, I hope your husband is doing better. You would make a fantastic pimp! XO
I keep asking Tammy this question, and here you've gone and answered it. Voting this Up and Useful.
Oh I have so much to learn! Sigh! This was very helpful and I thank you. Now I need to take notes and hopefully remember it all.
Oh, to be taught by the Master (or is that Mistress) Pimp herself. How lucky we are, Sunshine! You deserve every vote for the smiles you bring. Thanks!
Love this...voted up Sunshine!!!
Alocsin, Richard, Billy, Rika, Audra ... My prime pimpers! Thank you for stopping by and for all you do. I appreciate you all!:)
I love pimping hubs. I just wish I had more time to do it. Great hub that will be pimped right away! :)
LOL this was funny
It's my pimping cheerleader! WOOHOO! I put the mouse on the hub, I pimp, you pimp, we pimp. I tweet to be sweet! I pimp, you pimp, we pimp. I google plus one, I pimp you pimp, we pimp. I pin, digg and redd, I pimp, you pimp, we pimp. Pimp, Pimp Hubray!
Hi Made, Pimping is a fun hobby!:)
I'm glad you enjoyed it LadyFiddler.
Hey CC, I think you added one too many pimps since HP's thought this was SPAM. Haha!!

Good morning Sunshine625, Great hub and I do use some of these venues to share my hubs, guess that makes me a "pimp" too. Most of what I write is from my memories and since I am on FB, I will most always share with the friends on my page who also share many of the memories. Most appreciate and enjoy the hubs. Thanks you for a great hub.
