Starting To Use eHow.com For Passive Income

Even after signing up for at eHow about 1 year ago, I never took it seriously until a friend recently signed up also about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I created a new account and started to publish articles there.

From the 6 articles that I have in my library so far, I’ve earned only $0.56. As everyone probably has heard, there are people popping up all over the internet saying that they make over $1,000 per month with their articles. Although I highly doubt that would be a typical experience of every writer, I do find that earning $20-$30 per month seems plausible.

Sometimes I feel like I can spit out a few How-To’s in a day but I keep thinking in the back of my mind that I should be concentrating on personal finance posts instead. Well, with my constant studying as of late, I’m not as involved in the personal finance realm while How-To ideas keep spilling out from my head.

Nevertheless, this blog is my primary concern and eHow will be a venture that I hope to pursue for the sake of finding out if this program really works and may be worthwhile to myself and others who are thinking of signing up also. I’ll be posting up results and earnings when possible to track my progress.

    Hi There!
    I’m glad I found your blog. I, too, write for ehow (newmama) and I too was skeptical when I first started. I’ve been writing how-tos since late November. I have 168 articles and this month will make about $170. I only wrote 8 articles this month so as you can see the money keeps coming even if you don’t do much. I have limited time to write since I have a baby at home. But I have found that Ehow is definitely legit. I wasted the first three months writing without any method to my madness. Then I realized I should learn a little about keywords and SEO and that has helped me tremendously. If you’re serious about Ehow and want to write articles that will actually make decent money I would suggest writergig’s ebook on how to write for ehow. https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=121991&c=ib&aff=52110” target=”ejejcsingle
    She is one of the people who make over $1500 a month on Ehow. Good luck and I look forward to reading more about your venture.

    Seriously, the article about balance transfer and prepaid phone would have been better on your blog. Ask yourself this: would you like to make $1,500 / mo from your blog or through eHow?

    Heh. Well the the article on how I save with a prepaid phone is already up. I guess I’ll try to make a more detailed post for the blog.

    I am making about 200 per month (finally) with 150 articles approximately. Of those about 50 earn over $1.00.

    It is what you choose for topics, how you SEO and how you promote and gain backlinks that makes articles earn.. Some say time but I have at least 50 that are over 1 year old that have not earned diddly squat. So time is not the ‘healer of all wounds’ when it comes to eHow.

    Keep at it and learn lots. Don’t put all eggs in one basket as my name link will show you on my blog. There are lots of varients and choosing sites and being open to learning determine success. Also a little bit of luck.

    You can buy a book (which I am affiliate for almost all of them) or recommended… try to learn by looking up articles and reading the google adwords blogs to find out about how to earn more.
