So far I put my articles on ezinearticles.com for some traffic / backlinks. Some of my articles got on Google's page one, but the same article on my own blog is nowhere to be found! So I checked out eHow as an option to submit a rewritten version of my articles to get traffic, backlinks and money. However, as I am not a US citizen I have dropped it off my list. It was an interesting possibility anyway! I didn’t know one can make money with posting articles! So far I put my articles on ezinearticles.com for some traffic / backlinks.

I am impressed. Unfortunately ehow is not available for me in the UK. However I did submit a few ehows, and one on acne got over 600 views, what a shame I wasnt paid for it.

Is this really considered a passive income for tax purposes? I thought this is considered "earned income". What makes it passive income, whether I write a lot of articles or just a few? Any thoughts with ehow in regards to taxes as a self employed person? Thanks. I'm really looking hard at your fine work here. I’m just now getting started on ehow articles.

This is done through keyword research. Think of a topic, any topic and see how many people are searching for that information. If it's a lot, then you're onto something good. If only a few people search about that topic, then chances are if you write about it, not very many people will find your article. Check out the keyword research tools here: http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/passive-income-tools-of-the-trade/ Or, if you want to learn a lot more about this process, I recommend purchasing at least one of the two eBooks about eHow mentioned at the end of this post.

I think that's so awesome. It took me a couple months to complete mine as well, but it's totally worth the hard work and effort. Keep it up and let us know how it goes!

I was thinking of reworking my old articles or articles that aren't earning me much, and tweaking the wording, the keywords, etc - and see what happens. @Earlyriser, Actually, I was thinking of doing another experiment that might be helpful to some eHow writers.

It's definitely a place where you can earn "interest", so to speak, on how much time you invest into it :) Keep up the good work! @Jennifer, I like how you use the word “bank” for your eHow articles.

There was also some debate about how long eHow may last, and not to put all of your eggs in one basket, if you know what I mean. Ebb and flow for articles and for websites.
