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!

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 Income 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!

Freelance Writing: Speed Write Articles with Customized Templates and Make More Money

One thing that I have learned as a freelance writer that time is extremely important. The amount of time that you spend per article can make a significant difference in the amount of potential money that you can earn. Researching the Internet on improving you odds of making freelance writing money, I came across the technique of using customized templates to speed up your article writing process.

What is a template?

A template is design that you can use over and over. For freelance writing, a template would be a document already set up in your word processing program for you.

What are the advantages to a template for freelance writing?

You can save yourself a great deal of time typing if you sue templates for your writing. For example, I always create my title, article description, and keywords for each of my articles. Instead of having to type these section labels, my template already has them there for me. I can keep my article format clean and usable without retyping over and over keywords, title, article description.

You will be amazed at how much redundant typing you do when you get into the field of freelance writing. The use of templates can save you a great deal of time.

The use of templates can help you stay organized in your writing. I recently joined a product review site. I set up a template in my word processing system that has labels for me to fill in the information for each of my product reviews. For example, the template has product name, product price, product features, product description, where I purchased the product, pros and then cons of the product. Having all of this in a template makes certain that I don’t forget something specific to put in a product review. It also saves time in typing out the information.

Are templates free?

I make my templates in Microsoft Word. They are free to create and have been very helpful.

When is it best to use a template?

I like to use templates for anything that has general format that I am consistently following. This enables me to keep my information organized. I also tend to forget less. It helps to generate ideas when I have a section to fill in for the template.

Blogging Money is at Your Fingertips: Are You Really Going to Throw Hundreds of Dollars Away?

Are you really going to throw hundreds of dollars away? If you completely ignore your blog or don’t even have a blog, you could be doing just that.

Blogging is an investment in the future. It is a chance to really fine tune your work. It’s not that hard to do.

Simply take your work that you publish as non-exclusive or free to different websites and toss it up on your blog. So, you spend what another five minutes of your day?

Later when you have a bunch of different topics on your blog, split them up into individual blogs. Toss in a picture to change the page layout and avoid duplication of content. Bold a few words too. That really helps.

Can you really make hundreds from blogging? According to the entire buzz you can.

Right now my blog is just one ad sponsor. I’ve been too lazy to sign up for other ones. My ad sponsor seems to run the same two ads all the time. Hmmm. Maybe when I get a library built up on my blog it will be better? Who knows?

Blogging isn’t immediate satisfaction. It is indeed an investment in the future. Who knows maybe the traffic will come? Mine averages about five hits a day. But I am still going to keep building it up and see what happens.

SharedReveiw More Insider Scoop Information

I recently joined SharedReviews and have really enjoyed the experience with the community there. When I first wrote the other article about SharedReveiws for everyone I was still learning the process. Well I found out some more from making friends and reading the forums. In fact, I have run into some friends from Associated Content over there as well. SharedReviews has just come out of beta testing. It is a good chance to get in at the ground level of this site. They take the reviews that are posted by members and share them with other sites to make money. They pay the top 10 articles in a review subcategory 50% of the ad revenue. Then the remainder 50% is split among the voters. If you vote well, you can make money with SharedReviews without ever writing a single article. Just vote for friends and the top reviews to see a nice residual income.

Vote for the Top 10 in a Subcategory

I initially said in the other article to vote for the top 10 people. I was wrong. You vote for the top 10 in the subcategory. But there is a trick. You get new votes each month BUT you never can vote on a review but once. So choose your votes wisely!

One hard thing is wanting to vote on your friends' reviews and hope for reciprocal votes. I have found that reciprocal votes aren't really going to happen. Some friends might vote on your stuff but the majority of people are voting randomly or on the top 10 in each subcategory. LOL Also, now that it's the end of the month a lot of people have run out of votes.

Shared Reveiw Score or SR Score to get You Money

On your profile you will see the SR score. This starts at 50% and goes up and down as you interact in the community. The higher the SR score the more votes you get to cast. The more votes you cast, the chances are in your favor that the review will make the top 10 in the subcategory and bring you in money.

How to Increase your SR Score

Your SR score will slowly go up if you vote for other's reviews.
Making friends.
Commenting several sentences on reviews (even if you don't vote for it)
Write reviews

Decreases in SR Score

Writing short comments
Writing voted in your comments
Having a friend request rejected


How Much Money Can You Make?

I have no idea. I feel certain though that it is more than some of the shared revenue sites. It is a great way to social network and have fun too. I like to cast votes and comment when I'm between writing tasks or relaxing.

I took the time to look at other member's earnings. You can make more money than:

If you cast you votes well, you can make more money than one ptc ad site or even doing several of them.

You can make more money just from voting than what you make doing ratings on Helium. You can make more money from a couple of good reviews and voting than you might make on Helium in adshare revenue.

You can make more money than the average person makes on Google adsense ads coming to their blogs, and even more so for new blogs and newbies to the Google adsense system. You can also make more money than the average person or new blog to Bidvertiser.

You can make more money than the average person makes on the paid to socialize sites.

If you stop and think, when you register you are brand new but if you get friends, up your SR score and vote like crazy, you can make money with SharedReviews. I wouldn't use it as my primary writing venue or social venue. However, it is a nice little residue income for sitting around voting and sending friend invites.

How to Get a Ton of Friends

After you register, click the two people holding hands on some of the reviews you are voting on. The monitor on the same screen being green means that they are showing online. Once you get some friends, click community. Click firends. Go to one of the friends. Click view all friends. With each friend, click send friend invite. It's that simple.

When you click your community board you can find out how many votes you have left. You can see which friends left comments, voted or have new reviews to vote on. It's really cool.

For example, Click Here for my link. You can click the orange people holding hands. That will send me a friend request. You can see if I'm online by the red or green monitor. The envelope is to send me mail there. After I accept the friend, you click community, friends and then view all friends by my name. I have over 200 friends so that will get you started.

Pen in Hand Poem

I have been lucky and not suffered writer's block too often. But at times, writer's block can be really frustrating. I'm used to having writing ideas. Just to stare at the paper and have no writing ideas can at times be very scary. What if I never think of another writing idea? This poem is in tribute to those times that writing ideas just seem to escape me. Often poetry is a good way to get the muse awake again.

Pen in Hand

Pen in hand,
Paper blank,
Staring back at me,
Begging me.

Pen in hand,
Paper blank,
Write on me,
Fill me.

Pen in hand,
Paper blank,
Tell the world,
Give me life.

Yet...

Pen in hand,
Paper blank,
