Earnings Feedback to Make More Money


All of us would like to make more money on eHow. In fact, many of us are hoping to one day join the $500 a month or the $1,000 a month eHow earnings club. The question then is how do you this? While volume of articles is important, quality is key. SEO and the right keywords is extremely important.

Did you know you can use your earnings feedback in order to increase your eHow money earnings? This is a wonderful tool that many new eHow writers don't take advantage of.

Let me explain how to do it.

[1] Sign into your eHow account.

[2] Click articles. You'll see a list of your articles and the amount earned. These are defaulted to display by the most recent date to latest date.

[3] Scroll down to the bottom of the page and it will show "your library". Look on the right-hand side. Click the EARNINGS tab twice. This will now display your top earning articles in order.

[4] Look at your top 10 and top 20 earners. What keywords earned the most? Write down a list of the keywords.

[5] Write additional eHow articles with these keywords. Don't clone articles though! Think of a new angle and write from that.

Chances are if the keyword did great for you previously, it will do so again.

Let me know how this worked out for you in the comment section!

How do you earn on eHow?


I've had several people ask me how do you earn on eHow. Do you make money on each article? You write articles from home. You then submit them to eHow. You don't earn upfront money. Your articles are posted live on eHow. Then others can come to the articles you write from home. They can join eHow and comment and star rate your articles.

If you write articles from home and post for free, how do you earn money? You earn money when people read the ads that are on the page of your articles. If someone clicks the ad on the article page, you earn a small portion of the ad revenue that was generated. How much of a percentage do you earn? That secret isn't revealed by eHow.

Can you earn enough to pay your bills on eHow? Some authors on eHow are writing articles from home and earning over $1,000 a month. I'm not that lucky yet.

Some authors strike it rich with a "golden ticket" article. This is an article that does exceptionally well in the eHow site. It booms overnight! These articles will get you a lot of money from eHow. I haven't had one of those yet either.

For the average writer that writes articles from home, you need to post your articles. Wait for your articles to age at least 2 to 4 months. This puts the articles you write from home in the Google index. Then you should expect to make an average of around $1 an article that you have that is of age.

If you need say $200 a month for gas. Work and get up 200 articles. Then you can expect to make around $200 a month on eHow to cover your gas. It's really easy to do.

Write the articles and count down the days until they age. Just think at $1 an article.. if you have an article sit on eHow for 12 months.. you can earn $12 for that article. That's a good investment of time from home to earn money writing articles.

eHow Writing Goals for July


July has been a tough month to meet my eHow writing goals. I was hoping to have posted another 100 articles for this month. If you've checked out my profile page or subscribed to me, you'll find out that hasn't happened. But hey, offline life sometimes takes over!

There is good news though. Even though offline life has decreased the number of articles I wrote from home this month, I'm still earning on eHow. The formula for at least $1 per article you have when you start the month is holding true for my eHow earnings. This is with some articles bombing and no visitors clicking the ads at all. I'd love it, if the visitors were interested in my articles and ads. Some have gotten fantastic hits but I guess the ads aren't right.

I was hoping to tweak articles that had zero eHow money earnings. However, time hasn't permitted that either. Hopefully, I can get on a regular article writing schedule for the month of August.

Even if you can't write every single day for eHow, remember you're building a library of articles. Some of the articles you write from home for eHow will earn money like crazy. Others, the ads won't match up right or will have ads that people aren't interested in. Those, you'll need to eventually tweak and fix. But,you'll still be earning eHow money for articles you write from home.

$1,000 Club on eHow


I've had people message me to ask what is the magical number of articles to be a member of the eHow $1,000 club. Trust me; lots of us are wanting to join that club! Can you imagine earning that much money in residual income per month? Just picture $1,000 being deposited into your Paypal account on a monthly basis around the second week of the month. You didn't have to write a single word or promote a single article.

Is this just a daydream?

No, it's not just a daydream! You can have your cake and eat it to when you write articles from home to earn money on eHow.

The question by many readers is now, what is the magic formula? Why am I making 100 bucks a month without being on eHow six, seven months or even a year? How in the world did I hit payout in less than a month?

First, the eHow guides and books helped me to remember one thing I already knew as a writer. Use keywords in your eHow articles. My articles that have low keywords aren't earning a penny or are earning very little. They're essentially wasted. Yes, they get traffic but no-one is clicking the ads to earn me eHow money.

Second, stop wasting value writing time trying to use the keyword ad tool and the Google adword tools. These are helpful ONLY if you can't think of variations of your keyword. For example, an ad that pays $8 a click might be too competitive. Everyone and their brother has up an article with the same $8 keyword. You MIGHT get lucky and have an article that is competitive and catches readers in the great wide world of Internet and technology.

Third, write from your heart. Don't write extremely short articles. Don't write articles that are 20 pages long either. Reach a happy medium. When you get time, add pictures to your articles.

Fourth, add your article list link. When you go to your eHow profile or dashboard click articles. Up at the top, you'll see your article listing link. Don't link to your profile. Link to the articles. After all, you're hoping readers will read your articles and click the ads to get you more eHow money.

Fifth, add to your eHow library. Write, write and write some more. Even if you're not sure an article is going to earn you money. Try to write at least one eHow article each week. The magic number isn't 333 articles, 500 articles or 1,000 articles. The key is to write something each week. You will build a following of other readers that want to see what you have up that is new each week, even if it is only one article you wrote from home to earn eHow money.

Sixth, comment on other people's articles. Some eHow writers will tell you this is a waste of time. Others will swear by it. I did an experiment. I did not comment on articles for a bit. My daily eHow earnings were less. A friend of mine has added no articles. Without comments, her daily earnings stagnated. With comments, she earned a little bit more. (In another blog post coming up in the future, I'll explain WHY it helps you earn more on eHow writing comments).

Seventh, go back to your older articles. Add your article link in the reference section. See other articles by this author and put your article link. This will increase readers going to your articles and increase the chances you will make eHow money from the ads people click from your articles.

Bottom line, add to your eHow library, write what you know and comment. Most importantly, link back to your other eHow work. The goal is to keep readers on the eHow site and to keep them reading through your eHow article library.

eHow Earnings Soaring


Yesterday, I logged into eHow to check my earnings. I can now say that 2 months in a row, I am earning over 100 bucks a month in eHow money. This would make me an official member of the 100 bucks a month club on eHow. Yay!

I have 44, 944 page views. I am making roughly .005 cents per page view. Again though, we have to keep in mind that over half of my articles I wrote from home to earn money on eHow are not even two months old. Since I joined in the first week of April, none of my articles have reached the 3 month mark either for indexing by the search engine and developing a fan base.

I had hoped to have 300 articles posted by the end of June. However, I was hired full time to do freelance writing from home. My new editor is rather strict. I've been focusing on learning the ropes and trying to improve my writing for them. I'm not complaining!

At the time of this post, I have 262 articles published on eHow. A big 70 percent of my articles are earning something in revenue. I suspect as some of the April articles get indexed and reach the 3 month age mark, earnings should increase even more.

I hope to reach the 1,000 dollar club by the end of 2009. It would be so nice!

If you are new to eHow or need inspiration, know that it can be done! Just keep plugging along and adding to your eHow library.

Quick Secret to Supplement Your eHow Income

I'm not into doing a lot of opinions. Can you tell? Ha, ha. That was a joke if you're new to my blog!

I've spent a lot of time writing articles for eHow. The problem is, most articles don't start to see anything significant in money until they're at least 3 months old. Well, I haven't been there a full 3 months yet. How can a work at home freelance writer pay bills and wait for their library to build and age on eHow?

Also, if you write articles from home for eHow, you'll discover that they pay monthly. This means you have to really plan your family budget and finances to be able to wait for one paycheck. Many of us, myself included, are used to getting money at least bi-weekly for writing adventures and to live. You can't just tell the bill collectors, oh please wait. I'm going to get my eHow deposit soon.

So, what is my big secret to supplement your eHow income? If you are a U.S. writer, go and sign up for an account with Associated Content. Then go to your local grocery store website. Pick out food products that you've tried and cooked before. Pick out cleaning products that you've used. Write a 425 word review about the products. AC will pay you upfront money three days a week after they make the offers.

Initially, you won't get high offers. As your clout builds (through page views) you'll get more offers. Review Stream pays $2 maximum for a product review (electronics and meds-- usually). With AC you should expect to get a minimum of $3. Plus, with review stream the minimum payout is $50.

Figure out how much money you need to pay your upcoming bills that are in the near future. Figure 5 business days for AC to make and offer and 1 business day more to see the money in your paypal account. That will then let you know roughly how many product reviews you need to crank out and submit each day to get the money for a specific bill.

Write an eHow article. Then go write 2 product reviews. That's the secret to faster money to supplement your eHow income while you're new to the eHow community, like myself.

My First 10 Buck Day on eHow Earnings


First, I'd like to thank everyone that has been reading my blog on my eHow journey. I'm starting to notice a slight increase in traffic. Thank you for helping to get the word out about my eHow earnings and my eHow blog. Without you, I'd be writing to empty air. Thank you! A special thank you to those that have visited the ad sponsors to keep it possible for me to continue writing. This blog earns money like eHow. When visitors click an ad on eHow, you earn money. Same on this thing.

Well, I'm very excited. Today when the eHow earnings updated, I had earned 10 bucks and some change. This is the first time that I've been able to do that!!! I'm very excited. I remember how I was so hoping to make 10 bucks of earnings on my articles to reach the first month payout. Now, I made it in one day.

It's very true that your articles keep paying you when you write for eHow. In fact, the older articles, as others have stated, do actually start making more than the newer articles. If you're new, keep plugging along.

I have learned something that is AGAINST what all the other tutorials and eHow guides or eBooks tell you to do. MANY of my higher earning articles are NOT the high paying keywords. Don't focus on that. Focus on writing what you know about and what you love to learn about. This is going to get you the most money in the long run.

Write articles that give good and exact how to instructions. Write about things you wished others had explained to you how to do before you set out for a task. This will help you get good eHow earnings.

I saw that one writer on eHow forum had reached their 1,000th eHow article. They said they write about the gardening niche! Congratulations.

While quality is very important, volume and a following is important as well. With quality... you'll get a following. With volume you'll increase the odds of enough articles having good enough ads that others will click them.

Happy writing and don't give up making money at home dreams that you have. You can do this. Believe in yourself.

May Results for eHow

Well, this is the start of new month. I will begin my 3rd month on eHow on the 4th of this month. How are things going?

For May, I started the month with 119 articles. I did alright for the month. Considering that NONE of my articles are aged yet, I feel really good about this.

For June, I will start the month out with 230 articles. Going on May earnings, I project that I will pull in around $150 for the month of June on eHow money. Not too shabby! That is if I write nothing at all for the entire month of June.

If you wonder if eHow works, feel good. It really does. Just follow the tips that I've been posting in my blog here. I'm not charging for an eBook on all of this... even when I make the $1,000 club, I seriously doubt I'll do an eBook. LOL

New Milestone Reached on eHow in Less Than 2 Months

I love writing articles from home for eHow. I've been very excited to embark on this journey. Today, I logged into eHow and saw that my earnings had jumped to $102.08. This now puts me at the $100 mark before the end of my 2nd month on eHow.

If you wonder if you really can make money writing from home and submitting your work to eHow, the answer is YES! Keep in mind, most articles need to age at least 3 months to start seeing significant earnings.

I began my 2nd month on eHow with 119 articles. I will not give up my dream of one day writing nothing but eHow's for my income. It just thrills me so much and I'm so excited about it.

Let's look at some of my highest earners. I don't know if there is a pattern or not. I haven't figured that part out yet.

I was at the flea market and saw a hot dog cart. I was curious about how to set one up for a work at home business. I ended up writing How to Get a Hot Dog Cart Without Spending a Fortune. This article took me about an hour to write. It has earned $12.68 for me as my highest earner. I published that article 4/17.

My second highest earner is How to Stop from Getting the Swine Flu. I published it on 4/27. It has received $9.22 in earnings.

Those are not bad earnings for writing articles from home. I'm very happy with eHow. If you're new to the eHow community, don't give up hope. It does work!

Ahead of Schedule on eHow Earnings for May

Well, I just did the numbers. For my articles that are one month old, I'm averaging $1.71. For the eHow books on how to make easy money on eHow, they say to figure $3 to $5 an article. For the regular writers on eHow, they say to figure $2 an article you write from home.

If my articles that are one month old are already at an average of $1.71, I can easily expect that by the 3 month range, they'll be $3 each. Simply amazing! It blows my mind.

Now, here is an even more interesting take. The first month of articles, I'm only earning on 48 percent of them. I'm as a whole earning on 30 percent more of my articles than when I started the first month.

Bearing this in mind, I feel confident that if you learn how to SEO, pick out your topics and write daily... it is definitely possible to make $1,000 plus on eHow as a monthly residual income.

Earned 12 Bucks for eHow Article

I'm so excited! I know that many people write from home and make tons of money per article. I have been writing for eHow from home since April 4th. So, I'm just shy of 2 months on eHow.

My article How to Get a Hot Dog Cart without Spending a Fortune is now up to $12.00. eHow hasn't even updated how much money I've made. I'm sure that it is more than this.

I literally am very excited about this article doing so well! I can't believe it. Sure it's not the golden ticket eHow money making articles like some people talk about. But just to think that this article isn't even finished earning money yet. I'm seriously addicted to eHow.

In less than 2 months, I have earnings on 67 percent of my eHow articles. This is a great way to write from home and make money. The key is to know what to write and how to write it. I feel very good about my success!

eHow Average Earnings Per Article Update

First, my apologies for not updating my blog on my eHow adventure more often. I've been busy trying to get out eHow articles and get some age on them. In the eHow forum there was a poll for article earnings. At the time of this blog post, I'm right on target of the average eHow writer for making money with eHow articles.

All of my articles combined, I'm averaging 42 cents an article. Keep in mind, I haven't been making money as an eHow member for 2 months yet.

I started out the month with 119 articles. If you do the math, my eHow earnings are 78 cents an article. Now, do the math for earning money on eHow articles. That means if I don't even increase my earning potential, I can project that for the month of June, I should make a minimum of $163.80 with the number of articles I have up today.

This means that I can literally sit back and not write another article and still make money from home for the month of June. I don't think that $163.00 is such a bad average to have for starting the 3rd month of eHow.

Here is the tricky part. eHow hasn't updated my earnings in a few days. I could be making 80 to 90 cents an article from the ones that I started the month out with.

Then if you think about people saying you triple your earnings by the fourth month? That would mean that August, I should expect around $500 a month from eHow without ever writing another word!

Of course, I'm going to still keep writing for eHow though. My goal is to get to where I can potentially earn $2,000 a month on eHow for my residual income.

Please spread the word about my eHow journey to others. Remember, the key to making money on eHow articles is to have up how-to's that people will want to click the ads that are shown on the page.

Swine Flu Earns eHow Money


I decided to give the hot topic of Swine Flu a try on eHow. Now, initially I was going to do an non-exclusive on Associated Content and re-post on Bukisa. But then I got to thinking. What if the Swine Flu topics turned out to be hot? I'd be gravely limiting my money potential from these work at home articles.

Here are my results from Swine Flu eHow's:

One day old Swine Flu Ehow's Results

How to Handle Swine Flu and Pregnancy (a pregnant friend gave me this idea).. I have 0 ratings, 0 comments but I did manage to make 24 cents. At the time of this blog posting, eHow has the Swine Flu article with 0 views. Since I only make money if someone actually clicks a Google Ad from my article page, there had to be some views for this one! I advertised this Swine Flu article on Twitter, Facebook and my friend did it on MySpace.

How to Stop Swine Flu in the Elderly ( I used to work with the elderly).. I have 0 ratings, 0 comments and 0 page views. There were no earnings the first 24 hours of this article. I was actually surprised someone didn't click on one of the Google ad links from this article because the ads matched up very well.
This was advertised on Twitter and Face Book.

How to Avoid Swine Flu during Travel was the third one I did less than 24 hours ago. This one has 0 ratings, 0 comments and 0 page views. It earned nothing so far. It was advertised on Twitter and Facebook as well. I'm not as pleased with the ads on this article as the other ones.

Alright moving right along... the next Swine Flu eHow article was posted on April 29th.. 3 days ago from this blog posting. How did it do?

How to Earn Swin Flu Passive In
come has had a reasonably good response. There are 5 ratings and it has 3.5 stars and 33 page views. It has earned 19 cents so far. There is one comment on it. I think the outright boldness of suggesting to write about Swine Flu topic and subtopics offended some people's sense of morality and made them feel I was encourage ambulance chasing.

This article was advertised on Associated Content, Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. I'm surprised it only shows 33 page views with all the advertising. But then again..... it is a perhaps controversial topic. I'm not sure what to make of this one.

I started my experiment with Swine Flu articles and topics 5 days ago on the 27th. In previous posts about my eHow money, I've stated that for some articles it seems they really need to be a minimum of 5 days old to get money. Some do sooner like the Swine Flu and Pregnancy but those I still view as lucky hits.


How to Get Swine Flu Ready was my second article on eHow for the Swine Flu. It has received 3 ratings and is at 3.5 stars. There is one comment on the bottom of it. EHow is showing this article to have 597 views at the last update. How much has it made in 5 days? This article has made $3.75 so far in just 5 days!

Ok now comes the really good part. The first Swine Flu article I put up 5 days ago from the time of this blog posting was How to Stop From Getting the Swine Flu. Notice the difference in the title target key words? This article has recieved 2 ratings with the current rating being 3 stars. There are 0 comments. There are 805 views showing. The ads are great on this one. How much as it made in 5 days in eHow money? In just 5 days, this article has made $6.12.

So....

The bottom line is for 5 articles and about 1 hour's worth of time writing, I have earned $10.30 in just 5 days from a hot topic keyword.

The disadvantage is .... when the Swine Flu is no longer hot, these are not evergreen How-To's and will probably sit months with no earnings.

Swine Flu Makes Passive Income


Many work from home writers are taking advantage of the Swine Flu panic that is spreading throughout the United States. You will find numerous articles about the Swine Flu and even notice a significant jump in page views.

I write for eHow. I am a new member. Many of you are following my journey on eHow.

My Swine Flu articles have had a significant jump in page views, that I don't normally recieve. This is because eHow is a great place for people to go to learn how to stop from getting Swine Flu, how to get Swine Flu ready or other information about Swine Flu.

I've seen posts on eHow that other writers are also seeing a jump in page views and passive income from their Swine Flu related how-to's.

Don't write for eHow? Concerned that eHow is becoming flooded with how-to's for Swine Flu? No problem!

There are SIX WAYS you can earn a passive income from the topic of Swine Flu.

I listed all six ways in a How to Earn Swine Flu Passive Income on eHow.

You can click here to read the article and show some page love. Be kind and don't rate them 1 star. Someone has been downrating my stars. While it doesn't hurt earnings, it does hurt my pride. I spent a lot of time researching and looking around to come up with the six ways to earn Swine Flu passive income. It was hard work. But, I'm glad to share this secret with others.

Unfortunately, the Swine Flu is going to be around for a while. People are going to want new information about the flu, how to prevent it, treat it and so forth.

If you need topics for the Swine Flu try homeopathic flu remedies, stress reduction, ways to build your immune system for starting topics. Talk about how the Swine Flu scare has changed behaviors of people around you and even yourself.

Pass along the link to this article and the how to article for making a passive income from Swine Flu.

Day 24 Hot Dog Article on eHow Earns $3 in 8 days

I was pleased to sign into eHow today. I have and additional $2.21 in my eHow money to be paid out next month. This is two days in a row that I have consistently made more than two buck with my work from home articles on eHow.

I am so pleased that my work from home writing is really paying off on eHow. My first article so far has made 3 bucks! Yes, I'm easily excited. I never would've guessed there would be so much interest in hot dog carts.

My article, How to Get a Hot Dog Cart without Spending a Fortune has at the last update has earned $3.24.

My keywords for this article were:

[1]hot dog carts
[2]hot dog cart
[3]hot dog stand


The Google ads on the Hot Dog Cart article are several for hot dog stands or hot dog carts. There are also ads to be a vendor. One of the options for a hot dog cart is the option to open a franchise. Perhaps, that step of the hot dog cart article is what triggered the vendor ad.

There is only one comment and 2 ratings on the hot dog cart article. This tells me that the number of comments and star ratings aren't really going to affect how much money you make off of a particular article you write from home to put on eHow to earn a passive income.

The hot dog cart article had been posted for 8 days when the earnings were updated that I had made over $3 on it. That is excellent. That isn't even half a month yet. Now, if I could figure out what I did with the hot dog cart article to make it so different from the others.

Hmmmm.

There is a picture for the introduction. However, there are no pictures for the rest of the article. I'm not sure what the key is to the success of this article on eHow. But hey! I'm not complaining. I do like that I had an article earn $3 already. That will help to make up for the other ones I wrote from home that didn't have any eHow money and earnings yet.

Today, I visited the local flea market. I told my husband about the hot dog cart article. Then I speculated if the people that had one got a used one, rented or were part of a franchise.

It's interesting how when you go about places in your offline life that you can think of article topics for working from home. Then the articles that you do write, will pop into your head when you're going about your daily life.

I'm still very convinced that eHow can make money from home. A passive income while I'm sleeping, spending time with the family or outside gardening. Just look at how well in 8 days the hot dog article did in earnings on eHow.

Day 23 My Highest Earning Day


Today was my highest earning day on eHow. I had an additional $2.15 added to my eHow money. I'm very excited about this! In less than 30 days with 100 articles, I should be able to expect at least 60 bucks a month from eHow, if I don't add anymore articles or do anything else. Of course, I'm addicted to eHow and will keep on writing after the weekend is over.

The eHow site didn't update page views. My youngest articles making money are from the 21st and the 22nd. That fits again with the 4 to 5 day age for articles to start generating some type of earnings.

There are still articles not making money though. Hmmm.

I've had an increase though in articles making money as a whole though. I've gone up 10 percent to 36 percent of the articles I've published to making money.

Are the articles I posted on my profile page making money? Yes, those articles are all part of the 36 percent that I'm making money from this work at home adventure.

The next question is the reports that articles with age make the most money correct? Again, my stats have proved this to be true. My very first article I wrote when deciding to venture into this work from home project has gained me $1.84. It's very close to the $2.00 mark.

So far, the following things are holding true:

[1] Articles in my profile are making money and being viewed
[2] Articles in my featured articles are being viewed (great place to put articles that aren't getting visitors!)
[3]Not commenting on others work very much, hasn't decreased earnings
[4]Others rating 1 star hasn't decreased earnings
[5]Articles with the best ad matches are making higher earnings
[6]Articles promoted on Twitter are getting more views than the ones posted on Facebook

I shall take a short break from my posting about my journey. I will come back around day 25.

If you're finding my eHow work from home adventure interesting, please send a link to my blog to your friends. Word of mouth is the best way to get known.

Thanks!

eHow Day 22 Articles Being Down Rated






Well, I'm not sure if this will have an effect on my eHow earnings or not. Someone is down-rating my articles. By down-rating, I mean clicking 1 or 2 stars instead of 5. Do stars really matter? I'm not sure at this point. I know that one article is showing 0 ratings and has earned me a handful of change while others have 5 stars and earned nothing. This kind of leads me to believe that stars don't affect your eHow earnings and money.

I'm still waiting to see if having up extra links in my profile helps my eHow earnings or not.

I shall continue to update periodically on my journey. We're not through the first month yet and I'm already at payout amount and above. eHow will definitely make you money working from home.

21 Days Into eHow






21 days into eHow, I now have up 100 posts. My earnings went up $13.93 with 1,178 views. Not too shabby for less than 5,000 views. I am recommended by 20 people and have 11,773 points.

I haven't been as active on the forum yesterday and today. Other things took a toll in my life.

I hope to interlink my eHow articles to one another in the resources section to see if that makes a difference in earnings.

On the 21st day, I learned the HTML code to add more articles to my profile page than the 5 featured articles. When someone clicks my public profile, they will now see 12 articles of mine right there, instead of just the 5 featured articles. I'm hoping since an eHow visitor won't have to click my articles tab button to see all my articles, that with 12 articles being exposed that I will increase my traffic and the likelihood of earnings.

My highest earning article is How to Get Rid of Dog Urine Carpet Odors with Vinegar

eHow Earnings -- My First 2 Dollar Day

As you may recall from my eHow journey, I have written 100 articles for eHow at the moment and been there less than a month. Today, when I signed into eHow to check my earnings, I was up to my first 2 dollar day! I had jumped from $10.48 to $12.62 for my eHow earnings. This means that I will definitely get paid in May for my eHow work. That puts me at 68 cents a day in the 3 week range from the few cents a day I initially started at.

My findings are that the older articles that I originally posted are indeed earning more than my newer articles. Even though I have up 100 eHow articles, the ones from the 20th (3 days ago) haven't earned a dime. Most of the eHow articles are taking a MINIMUM of five days to see any pennies at all.

Another interesting finding look at my eHow article statistics is that 27 percent are the only ones earning any money at all. I was hoping that around 50 percent would be earning. However, there are ones on there that are less than the minimum five days that you start to see any pennies.

Only 3 percent have articles that are generating more than 1 buck each. That really surprised me. Again though, I'm thinking about the 30 to 60 day mark. Now, if the 27 percent were making at least a buck a month, that would only put me at 27 for the first 30 days and some change. I'm hoping the statistics for what I wrote get better.

Well enough with numbers. I'm going to experiment and not post again on eHow until Monday to see what type of stats I get. That will be the 5th day of age for the last batch that got me to my 100th article.

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.
