I'm sure as I get used to my new job, I will be able to write more. The great thing about eHOw is that my articles are still earning even though I'm not writing! The more articles I write, the more money I will make.</p><p>In the beginning, I purchased a "How to eHow" book and I'm glad to report that following the advice in the book helped me increase earnings. In the book, the author provides a formula for figuring out how much money you can make at eHow per month based on the number of articles you write. After following all the tips in the book, the formula works and I can estimate earnings based on the total number of articles. This is why I want to write more articles -- I'll just have to find the time. The book I read was <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=121991&c=ib&aff=61269" target="_blank">How to Earn Passive Income on EHow.com.</a> The author's name is WriterGig and you can look up her profile at ehow. </p><b>Status Summary</b><p><table><tr><td> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SmxdQs_9QpI/AAAAAAAAAMw/w57bE2AhJ8E/s1600-h/week+14+top+earners.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 92px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SmxdQs_9QpI/AAAAAAAAAMw/w57bE2AhJ8E/s200/week+14+top+earners.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362763797830124178" /></a></td><td><ul><li> 57 articles written</li><li> $52.53 total earnings</li><li>21,508 page views</li><li>67 recommendations</li><li>330 eHow friends</li></ul></td></tr></table></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392924138553661773-7081368784167710557?l=arizonaautumn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>admillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17135819274264894288noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392924138553661773.post-46457664046959431712009-07-26T06:24:00.001-07:002009-07-26T06:26:35.749-07:00<table><tr><td> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SmxZRwsbUJI/AAAAAAAAAMo/i1a7fErZeJ0/s1600-h/1134428_49515600.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SmxZRwsbUJI/AAAAAAAAAMo/i1a7fErZeJ0/s200/1134428_49515600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362759417955307666" /></a> </td><td>Have you made it past the first interview and been asked to return for a second?

I wrote two articles and one of them is finally earning (.22 cents!). I will consider writing more for them. But, I also applied to be a title proofer and just got an email requesting that I take a test for the position. I passed and have begun proofing titles for them. I have made about $80.00 in the last 5 days just proofing titles. </p><p><i>Opening another eHow account may be a good idea.</i> I have opened another eHow account to use for experimenting. I write articles there that I don't necessarily want to be apart of my portfolio. It's freeing to have an alternative identify that is completely free to fail. I put my crazier how to articles there and have made 60 cents so far.</p><b>Present: <i>Questions I Have</i></b><br><p><i>Do Demand Studio articles make more money in the long run?</i> My articles at Demand Studio have started to pick up steam. Will these make more than if I had just written them under my admiller account? Do they have better marketing? Are they posted in more than one place? It might be a good idea to write more for them to see how the articles perform. They have a bonus for writing 10 revenue share articles. I should probably find time to do that to help me answer this question.</p><p><i>How do I balance my time?</i> I still have a lot of old school papers that I can submit to Associated Content. My last one is doing quite well. Should I spend time doing that, or writing eHow articles, or writing for Demand Studios, or writing for Helium? Or, all of the above. There is so much I want to do and I need to prioritize. </p><b>Future: <i>My Next Steps</i></b><br><p><i>Re-write and re-post.</i> With my low earning or no earning articles, I think I will re-title them and post them at Associated Content or Helium. Since they aren't earning, I don't think I can dilute them.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392924138553661773-3631154179713216959?l=arizonaautumn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>admillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17135819274264894288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392924138553661773.post-21020456473886380982009-05-29T09:20:00.000-07:002009-05-29T09:28:36.404-07:00<table><tr><td><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SiANCFf9pjI/AAAAAAAAAJw/DaLPD1M2ako/s1600-h/check+for+dehydration+sun.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SiANCFf9pjI/AAAAAAAAAJw/DaLPD1M2ako/s200/check+for+dehydration+sun.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341283487548548658" /></a></td><td> </td><td>Summer is here and dehydration is a common problem.

One of my high earning articles stopped making money and this might be due to the elimination of a backlink somewhere out there or the removal of a specific money making ad on my article's page.</p><b>Present: <i>Questions I Have</i></b><br><p><i>What Happens When I Change an Article Title?</i> I tried changing the titles of some of my zero earning articles. I'm wondering what effect this has. When I do a Google search, the old title still comes up. Once you pick a title, are you stuck with the SEO consequences of that title forever? </p><p><i>What are the Benefits to Multiple eHow Accounts?</i> I've been following a discussion on the forums about people with multiple eHow accounts. Is it a good idea to develop a niche (recipe articles) and use a different account for multiple niches? Apparently it is okay with eHow to have multiple accounts linked to one paypal account.</p><b>Future: <i>My Next Steps</i></b><br><p><i>Stay Motivated.</i> Now that I met my first goal ($10 bucks), I have to keep up the motivation. I guess my new goal will be about an article a day until I find a job. On some days I can write 2-3, but on others I become busy with other life things. An average of one a day is within reason.</p><p><i>Explore Other Writing Possibilities.</i> I am having fun at Helium, but it does not appear to be a money maker. I'm going to try writing articles to their marketplace to see if that improves earnings. Demand Studios is just weird. I wrote two articles for them. It took forever for the articles to appear at eHow and they put it with a poor resolution image of me even though I provided them a high resolution jpeg. I'm going to wait to see how those two articles perform before I consider writing more for them. Bukisa seems great, but I'm wondering if it's okay to have basically the same content on Bukisa and eHow. Will it dilute my articles? Does Bukisa mind? (it seems they are changing their standards). I also enjoy Associated Content because they buy my old college papers. They just paid $3 for one of my longer research papers. Bizarre! </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392924138553661773-2065882121285049496?l=arizonaautumn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>admillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17135819274264894288noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392924138553661773.post-75768871689782341392009-05-24T08:02:00.002-07:002009-05-24T08:06:41.585-07:00<table><tr><td> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/ShliQgewYuI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/RhHQeubmSyg/s1600-h/Portion+Control+Plate.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/ShliQgewYuI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/RhHQeubmSyg/s200/Portion+Control+Plate.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339406868960797410" /></a></td><td> </td><td>One cup is about the size of a baseball.

I guess $5.75 isn’t too bad. Will these articles continue to earn? Will I come up with more article ideas? Will I get better at SEO? What started out as a hobby has turned into a big adventure full of possibilities.</p><b>Status Summary</b><p><table><tr><td><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SgcokPsiLkI/AAAAAAAAAG4/EFRXmiD0pT4/s1600-h/week+4+complete+report.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 122px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SgcokPsiLkI/AAAAAAAAAG4/EFRXmiD0pT4/s200/week+4+complete+report.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334276886797364802" /></a></td><td><ul><li> 27 articles written</li><li> $5.75 total earnings</li><li>1834 page views</li><li>39 recommendations</li><li>174 eHow friends</li></ul></td></tr></table></p><b>Past: <i>What I Learned</i></b><br><p><i>Affiliate Links Work.</i> I just made my first money off of Amazon affiliate links. It was super easy to sign up for the program but I was super skeptical about its benefits. The links in my eHow articles have made me $0.32 as of today. If this continues, it will be wise to continue to include affiliate links.</p><p><i>Desolator’s Free Ebook Rocks.</i> I purchased an <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=121991&c=ib&aff=61269" target="_blank">Ebook</a> about eHow and benefited from its advice. I found another one for free that provided even more guidance: <a href="http://desolator144.com/ehow.html" target="_blank"> Desolator’s Ultimate Ehow Authors Guide.</a> It was enjoyable to read and I feel that I learned how to write a little better. Thanks Desolator.</p><p><i>Quality and Quantity Counts</i> It looks like I need to write quality articles and a lot of them. Quality articles have good writing, make a solid point, and offer useful resources. This is not always easy to accomplish, but the reader should always be kept in mind. The whole point of writing is to have an engaged reader. This is no simple task. It is also important to write many many articles in order to get the full benefit of passive income. I can’t believe I earn money in my sleep. I guess it is kind of like interest in a bank account. The more articles I write, the more money I will make.</p><b>Present: <i>Questions I Have</i> </b><br><p><i>Where Do I Focus?</i> I have accounts on Bukisa, Helium, Associated Content, Trion, and Free Range Photos. Additionally I have been invited as a writer at Demand Studios. I have been uploading my old school papers at Associated Content and been making some up-front money (about 10 dollars) and those articles will continue to earn. Do I put all my efforts into eHow or do I spread around a little bit to find my best fit? Most people say eHow is the best, but I want to know for sure. Will I dilute my readership by having similar articles at multiple websites? Should I just focus on eHow and worry about the others later? I would really like to get to 100 articles at eHow.</p><p><i> How Many Affiliate Links are Too Many?</i> Now that I see I can make money using affiliate links, I want to be careful and not use too many. When is it considered spam? I think I have a good handle on providing links to resources that are actually related to the article, but sometimes there are many products I want to recommend. I will have to be careful and use my best judgment as I feel out the affiliate waters. </p><p><i>How Do I Increase the Earnings of Old Articles?</i>Too many of my articles are making nothing. I want to go re-work them, but I don’t feel like I know enough to make the best decisions. I know re-categorization helps and I know I need to better place some keywords. I am not sure about changing the actual titles. I guess only tinkering over time will help me decide how to fix the older articles.</p><b>Future:<i>My Next Steps</i></b><br><p><i>Forums.</i> I want to find some good forums about healthy eating and teacher topics. I have several articles on these topics and the forums would be a great way to promote my articles. I am not used to writing on forums and will need to develop a talent for contributing useful comments while promoting my article at the same time. </p><p><i>Hot Topics.</i> Now that I have a taste for what is possible on eHow, I want to write more current articles. I need to use Google trends and other resources to find topics relevant today or three months from now. What do people need and how can I make their lives easier? </p><p><i>More Learning.</i> Reading those eHow books has been helpful and I will continue to seek out advice from the writing community. <a href="http://www.ehow.com/members/dsarokin.html" target="_blank"> David Sarokin</a> provides a lot of useful information and I think I will try to read most of his eHow articles about eHowing.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392924138553661773-6409892215616218280?l=arizonaautumn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>admillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17135819274264894288noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392924138553661773.post-57451573316738275072009-05-09T07:16:00.002-07:002009-05-09T07:18:30.690-07:00<table><tr><td><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SgWQhkcyZVI/AAAAAAAAAGo/4rji5Ggcbn0/s1600-h/order+healthy+fast+food+dollar.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 96px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SgWQhkcyZVI/AAAAAAAAAGo/4rji5Ggcbn0/s200/order+healthy+fast+food+dollar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333828240084723026" /></a></td><td>The dollar menu offers smaller portions at smaller prices and can be a perfect choice for dieters needing to grab a quick bite on the go.

This freelance writing adventure I'm on is really fascinating. About a week ago, I sent in several college papers and a 7th grade lesson plan to Associated Content. I also published several how-to slide shows. The articles required review for up-front payment and the slide shows got posted immediately under the Performance Payment system. I finally got word back on the articles. They didn't like two of them so I just posted those for their Performance Payment system. They did like two of them and provided upfront payments of about $3 each. They were <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1693991/an_analysis_of_how_language_is_used.html?cat=47" target="_blank">An Analysis of How Language is Used as a Tool to Shape Culture</a> and <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1695169/middle_school_science_density_lesson.html?cat=4" target="_blank">Middle School Science: Density Lesson Plan</a>. I think I'll go back through some of my old college and teaching stuff and submit some more. The great thing is that it is also giving me some ideas for eHow articles. I wonder why I don't see too many lesson plans on eHow. Maybe they are not profitable, but I find it interesting that AC was willing to pay upfront for a lesson plan. I have more learning to do!</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392924138553661773-5092028849731222583?l=arizonaautumn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>admillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17135819274264894288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392924138553661773.post-68714975275040308392009-05-04T19:44:00.002-07:002009-05-04T19:48:12.365-07:00<table><tr><td><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/Sf-oiT_5esI/AAAAAAAAAF4/yxExBcm5Gvk/s1600-h/des+bot+gar+5+5+07.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/Sf-oiT_5esI/AAAAAAAAAF4/yxExBcm5Gvk/s200/des+bot+gar+5+5+07.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332165791267257026" /></a></td><td>15 years together, 8 years married.

The jury is still out on whether I can make it profitable. I think it's important to think in the long term. If I write lots of articles and they all make a little bit of money, then it will be profitable. If I write one article a day, I will have 365 articles in a year. That could be worth it.</p><b>Status Summary</b><p><table><tr><td> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/Sf3GLeFGoTI/AAAAAAAAAFw/KzZ6l2Y_8-k/s1600-h/week+3+combined.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 191px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/Sf3GLeFGoTI/AAAAAAAAAFw/KzZ6l2Y_8-k/s200/week+3+combined.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331635434231865650" /></a> </td><td><ul><li> 17 articles written</li><li> $3.40 total earnings</li><li>760 page views</li><li>34 recommendations</li><li>133 eHow friends</li></ul></td></tr></table></p><b>Past: <i>What I Learned</i></b><br><p><i>Use Money Making Tips.</i> After running into a popular <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=121991&c=ib&aff=61269" target="_blank">eHow Book</a> time after time, I finally decided to buy it. It was affordable and lots of people seemed to link it it. It's called How to Earn Passive Income at Ehow.com by Maria O'Brien. Maria is known as Writer Gig at eHow and she has an impressive bank of articles. On my first reading, I wasn't sure if I learned anything. On my second reading, I felt that I had some actionable steps that could improve my articles. I used the strategies in my latest article so we will see if it works.</p><p><i>Fine Tune My Articles.</i> Several of my articles are getting lots of views, but no cents. I discovered that changing the category can have a huge impact. One day after fine tuning one of my categories, an article went from $0.00 to $0.96. The initial category choice may not be the best marketing choice.</p><p><i>Lots of Writing Sites Exist.</i> The consensus seems to be that eHow is the best money maker as far as writing content sites go. I won't know for sure if I don't try. I have joined Associated Content, Bukisa, Helium, and Triond. I have learned about Info Barrel, Xomba, Hubpages and Squidoo. I suspect there are different types of articles that will succeed on different sites. It's all about knowing your market.</p><b>Present: <i>Questions I Have</i></b><br><p><i>What is the best way to cross-promote with content sites?</i> I have noticed increase traffic with the more I get my name out there. Using this content sites to get people to click over to eHow is important, but I'm not sure the best way to do it. A link in the resources section of the article? Some sites seem to allow cross promotion while others frown on it. But, driving traffic to my profile page can get people to click through to eHow or to my blog.</p><p><i>Is Associated Content worth it?</i> AC will take your old college papers. I have a lot of these, so I looked into it. The review process takes a long time so I don't know if it is worthwhile to keep submitting or seek out other opportunities. I have to wait for the review process to know for sure.</p><p><i>Do Affiliate Links Work?</i> I use Amazon affiliate links whenever I can, but only when it is related to the article. So far I only link to products I have actually used so I know they are good. I have also signed up for Commission Junction which looks promising. Will I get the page views and click throughs necessary to make this worthwhile?</p><b>Future:<i> My Next Steps</i></b><br><p><i>Contribute to Forums.</i> I had previously asked whether forums were good or bad. I definitely think they are a benefit. I learned about re-categorizing my low earning articles there. I also found that I clicked on people who wrote comments and this means If I wrote a comment others will click on me. It's a great way to get your name out there and learn valuable information.</p><p><i>Figure out AdSense.</i> Something is terribly wrong. Everything I read says it should not take two weeks for them to get back to me. I have to figure out how to contact someone and get the process started. Maybe I will just check out other options besides AdSense.</p><p><i>Revise Past Articles.</i> With the tricks I learned in the above mentioned book, I need to go back and rework some articles. I know re-categorization is beneficial, but there are other things I can do to increase traffic.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392924138553661773-6725673651891800776?l=arizonaautumn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>admillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17135819274264894288noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392924138553661773.post-81248014784282591892009-05-03T08:01:00.001-07:002009-05-03T08:04:59.768-07:00<table><tr><td><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/Sf2yd1E2aJI/AAAAAAAAAFg/ibxpQnNKfew/s1600-h/moving+a+bed+00.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 154px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/Sf2yd1E2aJI/AAAAAAAAAFg/ibxpQnNKfew/s200/moving+a+bed+00.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331613759409907858" /></a></td><td>You can easily move a bed with two people, two sheets, and a lot of teamwork.

For photos with <a href=" http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en" target="_blank">creative commons</a> licenses, it is important to provide enough of the URL so that another person could find the same photo. It is also a courtesy to provide the persons name with the link. See <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Attribute-a-Photo-on-wikiHow" target="_blank">How to Attribute a Photo.</a> Unfortunately eHow does not provide enough room for their photo credits. Here is how I like to attribute the photos in as little space as possible: <ul><li>Stock Exchange Photo: (thesaint) sxc.hu/photo/158239</li><li>Flickr Photos: (aussiegall) flickr.com/photos/aussiegall/759309122. If I don’t have enough room for the author’s name in parenthesis before the URL, I will omit the parenthetical notation because the name is in the URL.</li></ul><br><i>Copyright Issues.</i> I like to use screen shots and pictures of trademarked or copyrighted material (For example, a Pei Wei Menu). It is a photo I have taken, but is it copyright infringement? The consensus seems to be that the use of screenshots is not infringement of copyright because of the principle of “fair use.” It is fair to use partial images of a product to report on, comment on, or criticize that product. See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot#Copyright_issues" target="_blank">Copyright Issues on Screenshots.</a> It also appears that it is okay to use photographs of copyrighted material as long as a reasonable person would not confuse the image as an actual endorsement from the company. See <a href="http://www.danheller.com/model-release-copyrights.html#4" target="_blank">Photos of Trademarked and Copyrighted Works.</a><br><br /><i>Flickr Photos as Marketing.</i> I have been taking a lot of pictures for my articles. Thanks to an eHow member named <a href= "http://www.ehow.com/members/1how.html" target="_blank">1How</a>, I have been uploading my images for an article to Flickr and providing a link to the article. I get a lot of page views at Flickr, so hopefully some of them click on the link to see the article associated with each photo. See <a href= "http://www.ehow.com/how_4888135_articles-increase-seo-using-flickr.html" target="_blank">How to Promote Your eHow Articles and Increase SEO Using Flickr.</a><br><br /><i>Less is More.</i> I have always had trouble with writing in the passive voice, and now is definitely time to improve on this. Each step should begin with an action verb. The less verbiage the better—get to the point!<br><br /><b>Present: Questions I Have</b><br><i>What is Bukisa?</i> I have created an account at Bukisa and submitted two articles. The first article made 30 cents in one day. Should I duplicate articles or should I submit different content to Bukisa?<br> <br /><i>How do I find meaning in page views and earnings?</i> Some articles get lots of views and no earnings. Some articles get few views and lots of earnings. Trying to figure out what I did right on the successful articles is tricky. How do I interpret the limited data I am given at eHow?<br><br /><i>Forums—friend or foe?</i> After spending a long time on the eHow forums one day, I felt discouraged. There were lots of complaints and I left questioning the quality of my articles. Should I continue to browse the forums in an effort to learn or should I avoid them like the plague?<br><br /><b>Future: Next Steps</b><br><i>Explore Bukisa.</i> I will continue to submit some articles to Bukisa to see what is successful and what is not. My initial success came with a PowerPoint presentation on propaganda that I used in a 6th grade classroom. Perhaps I will use more teacher stuff there.<br><br /><i>Figure out AdSense.</i> I signed up, but have not heard back. When I log in, it says it will take a week. Well it’s been over a week. Ugh. <br><br /><i>Quit obsessing.</i> eHow is addicting, and I need to focus on many things not just eHow articles.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6392924138553661773-729350911145841822?l=arizonaautumn.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>admillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17135819274264894288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392924138553661773.post-85652608745326739062009-04-26T21:18:00.005-07:002009-04-26T21:29:44.138-07:00<table><tr><td><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SfUzWZRlNII/AAAAAAAAADo/GQCc9L1Ndk4/s1600-h/04+cupcake+in+microwave+combined+final+small.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2a6_lwcB-3g/SfUzWZRlNII/AAAAAAAAADo/GQCc9L1Ndk4/s200/04+cupcake+in+microwave+combined+final+small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329222193897616514" /></a></td><td>Success!

Overall the experience has been positive and time consuming. I started the eHow endeavor because I wanted to get more practice writing. I enjoy writing, but I can improve. This is a perfect outlet for me to explore writing and potentially make some extra cash. It's amazing how excited I get just seeing a few cents accumulate in my earnings column. Unfortunately the site is experiencing some technical difficulty and I don't get to see my earnings update frequently and my page views have still not updated since the first day.</p> <b>Status Summary</b><br /><ul><li>7 articles written</li><li>$0.70 total earnings</li><li>? page views</li><li>16 recommendations</li><li>60 eHow friends</li></ul><br /><b>PAST: Things I’ve Learned</b><ul><li>The eHow community is incredibly supportive. Making friends and communicating via email and notes is incredibly easy.</li><li>Writing quality comments involves using key words found in a person’s article.</li><li>It is incredibly time consuming to write one article a day.</li><li>The eHow forums are a useful tool for getting questions answered</li><li> SEO stands for search engine optimization and involves using strategic key words throughout your article to improve your chances of getting noticed by search engines.</li><li>Finding SEO key words is harder than it looks. The best tool I found is at Google: <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" target="_blank" title=" SEO Tool">Google AdWords: Keyword Tool</a></li><li>I have created a word template that helps the writing process. It is much better to write the article in a word processing document before posting it to Ehow</li><li>I enjoy taking pictures. In an effort to include more pictures in my articles, I resorted to taking my own and this has been quite fun. I’m concerned about copyright so I don’t want to post anything incorrectly and posting my own solves this problem. The best free photo websites I have found are <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/home" target="_blank" title=" sxc">stock.xchng</a> and <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Special:ImportFreeImages" target="_blank" title=" wikiHow">WikiHow Properly Licensed Photo Search Engine</a></li><li>Article ideas will come at the most unusual times. It is incredibly useful to keep a running list of ideas to refer to when I can actually sit down and write.</li></ul><br /><b>PRESENT: Questions I Have</b><ul><li>Is quality better or is quantity better?</li><li>Are affiliate links frowned upon, encouraged, or irrelevant?</li><li>Is it necessary to Digg, Buzz, Mixx, Twitter, etc. every article I post? Does this increase traffic?</li><li>How exactly are earnings calculated? eHow says it is proprietary and no one seems to know. Could this all be a huge gimmick with eHow just throwing a few cents at writers occasionally?</li><li>What is Google Ad Sense and can it be used with eHow articles?</li><li>How should I effectively use my newly created blog to increase traffic to my articles?</li></ul><br /><b>FUTURE: Next Steps</b><ul><li>Write more quality comments. My comments have been pretty good, but now I really want to find some quality eHow members to provide honest and encouraging comments back and forth.</li><li>Expand to Facebook. I have a Facebook account but have been reluctant to post my articles there. I don’t feel like a writer yet and sharing with actual friends is a little intimidating.</li><li>Get organized. I need a better filing system for my articles and my pictures. What I do now works, but there is probably a more efficient way to do things.</li><li>Continue to write.
