eHow Earnings -- 100th Article

Yay! I'm so excited to announce that I finally made it to 100 article milestone on eHow. That was a couple days ago. I decided to take a breather from writing and focus on catching up on the home life. You know.... those little things like chores, dishes, laundry. Ha, ha!

I posted on the forum community chatter that I posted my 100th article. Everyone on eHow was really supportive and great. I was thrilled. It was nice to share my excitement with the group and get moral support from the eHow community.

eHow Earnings Doubled Up Again

I couldn't be more pleased than I was when I went to my eHow earnings today. I have three articles that are making more than a buck each in this short time. I've only been writing articles for 17 days and am already almost at the eHow minimum money payout of $10. This is so great!!!

What have I learned so far?

It really does appear that age has a factor on how well your articles will do. My older articles are drawing in a higher percentage of money than my new eHow written articles. Hower, there was one article (How to Get Cheap RV Rentals) that was up less than 24 hours and received eHow money.

I think that the inbound or backlinks to the individual eHow articles is also important. Every single article that I have posted on eHow has been posted on my Facebook page. I also have backlinks from Bukisa, Associated Content, a few on Twitter, and a handful on MySpace.

The third thing that I had heard, learned in the eHow tutorial books and seen on the forum was keywords are imperative in your eHow articles. I do believe this to be true. Some of my articles that have earned nothing so far have poor ads on them. Later, I intend to go edit and tweak the keywords a little bit more.

I'm feeling optimistic!!

I truly feel that it is possible for my financial goals to be met through eHow. The trick seems to be getting enough articles posted and learning more about which ones will draw quality traffic and have their ads clicked.

I hope to reach $1,000 a month in eHow money

I am at 88 articles published on eHow. I hope to soon reach the 100 article goal mark. After that, I want to go for 150, 200 and so forth until I eventually have up 500 articles. I don't expect to do this anytime soon.

However, if the average people make is $2 per eHow article, then it stands to readon that with 500, I would make a virtually guaranteed thousand bucks on eHow per month. If some hit pay dirt and do exceptionally, well then I won't have to write 500 eHow articles to reach my $1,000 monthly goal.

eHow Earnings -- 3rd Sunday

Well, if you've been following my journey this is the 3rd Sunday now. I did a little experimenting and put up a bunch of computer related topics for eHow. I think that it's kind of early to tell which topics are going to do the best. My highest earner finally reached a dollar. I also have now reached the half way mark to the minimum payout. I feel optimistic that I will reach payout prior to the end of the month. There is only one more Sunday before I make the conclusion for the eHow money and earnings. Well, it won't really be a conclusion. It will be more of an optimistic hope for eHow money.

I'll keep you posted as things progress with my eHow journey.

eHow Earnings -- Doing PC Series

I'm trying something new out this week to see what happens. I've been writing a bunch of eHow articles on how to do different things on the computer. I think that this will be helpful. I'm not doing things that you'd only have to be a computer whiz to do. In fact, a computer whiz will know how to do the eHow articles I wrote this week.

My goal of the eHow computer articles was to provide readers with basic computer information. It's for the average person, like myself, that wants to know more than just how to log onto the Internet with their computers.

Here are the articles that I wrote about computers. Feel free to check them out:

How to Set up Windows XP for Multiple Users

How to Fix PC Desktop Icons

How to Use a Magnifier in Windows XP

How to Move a PC Taskbar

How to Find Out Which Graphics Card You Have in Windows

How to Use Auto Refresh in Opera Web Browser


How to Use Adblock in Mozilla Firefox

How to Find a Keylogger Spyware Hidden on Your Computer


On a side note, I've gone from several cents a day earnings on eHow to 36 a day as of today's date. I have posted 75 articles. The ones posted today though haven't yet been indexed by Google to start earning me any eHow money.

eHow Earnings Updated the Second Sunday

I figured the second Sunday would be the big test. I couldn't wait until Easter Sunday. That would be one full week of being on eHow. By the 11th, I had a total of 34 articles posted on eHow to earn passive income. This was getting to be exciting.

I was more anxious for the Easter Sunday eHow earnings update to show up than I was for the Easter bunny to arrive. Now, don't get me wrong. I love chocolate and Easter egg hunts. I just wanted to know if I was going to make the money or not.

My grand total for the Easter Sunday update was $2.41. I was very happy. It wasn't as high as doubling my money again but it was a nice surprise anyway. I feel there is real potential.

I learned a new thing during the second week of writing on eHow. You should post your articles in the forum on the community chat section of eHow. There is a daily folder for your newest eHow articles. I'm not sure how much it helps, but I have noticed I'm receiving more friend requests this way.

I personally think that friends will help if they send your articles to someone else that wants to read them and click the ads. We can hope right!

eHow Earnings Updated First Sunday

Ok, so I figured I would start my week on Sunday. This will make it easiest for me to keep up with my earnings and money. I started on the 3rd and the first Sunday was only the third day. So for my first official eHow earnings on a Sunday.. my grand total was 8 cents.

I wasn't discouraged. I was happy. After all, I expected to see nothing!

Doubled My Earnings in One Day

Ok, as you can see if you've been following my eHow's earning adventure, I get excited easily. Yes, I admit it! I'm even becoming an eHow addict. I sign into eHow to discover that my dollar had turned into $2.23 the very next day! I had literally doubled my money on eHow. I was so incredibly psyched and happy.

The biggest difference in my eHow writing was I was following the tips I'd learned about how to write for eHow and make money for a passive income.

[1] Have links going back to your eHow articles at other sites.. but quality links. So, I had gone back and added links on MySpace, Yahoo Answers, Facebook, Bukisa, Associated Content and Twitter.

[2]Check your article with the Google tool to see what keywords it picks up. I had to edit several of my articles after doing this. I was surprised at what keywords were being picked up.

So, it's possible to make money on eHow. But would I ever reach the $10 payout? After all, I don't want to wait three months or even two months to get my 10 bucks of money from my eHow articles. I would have to wait and find out.
