Good luck. I’m gonna try it, too.

Virginia.

the only thing is that ur articles should be of very quality and very informative type which also gets searches after a time period of year too or else result into no visitors to ur articles….

PAT please take the poll.

BRENDA I am posting mostly because since changes ehow has gone wonky in some areas and it is hard to tell what is happening. I have articles that are now in google search but not in ehow search. If you aren’t submitting them yourself it might take a lot longer than normal to get into Google.

Ehow has had problems with getting articles into ehow search for the past almost month.
So hopefully you can get them into google yourself. Sometimes they just don’t make front few pages.. to make sure if they are in google or not I always add my name to search … so like this: “tax deductions writers alrady ehow.com”
Then I will know ranking of page and alex rank from a tool I downloaded. I can play aroudn with terms and decide what to do from there.
PAT congrats this page is coming up in rank now.. watching the growth.

Also you can try another writing publisher like Bukisa: by invitation http://www.bukisa.com/join/2648

But how do you make ehow work for you?

In my case, I became a member about 2 weeks ago and put up five articles and they say they’re successfully published, but
1. When I google or ehow-search my article titles, they don’t show up anywhere even though they’re shown as published and even receiving a few views.
2. There’s no “article manager” or “manage my articles” anywhere on my profile page.

I really want to join you in this experiment, probably not putting up quite as many, but I spend time trying to contact ehow and figure this out instead of writing and submitting articles. Any ideas on this?

This is very insightful info. I appreciate you share this page with us.
I am new on eHow and thanks to one of your article I run into on HubPages, I learned so much and I have yet more to learn, but in the mean time I am hanging around and, as a matter of fact one of my articles was on the article of the day, this within just weeks after I started. I have lots of things to learn yet.

Thank you and have a great successful year!

I did want to address the concern about income and basically ALL articles shoudl be kept in a file on your harddrive and a flash card as backup so that you can recreate easily.

2 reasons for that. If everythign disappears you have backup. I have had one article dissappear into cyberspace.

The other is for repurposing for additional dollars.

Thanks for visiting and welcome! It’s nice to see new faces =)

Regarding your question, you can totally use some older blog posts you have, and even link to them in your “resources” section in eHow (you’ll see exactly what this is when you join) so you can cross promote your content. However, I wouldn’t recommend copying your blog posts over to eHow verbatim, but a small revision, like you suggested, would work quite well.

If you do end up joining, let us know when you write some articles!

I kept writing a post response for a while, untill i decided to actually post it on my own blog, where it will be read more easily:

Online Dividends´s last blog post..Passive Income as of 10/31/2008

I see your point, but where else am I able to write about how to be a DJ, how to find things online, how to be a good fiance, how to crack your back, how to make your own wedding invitations and how to cook a great grilled cheese sandwich all in one spot. In addition, I could use my experience as leverage for new and upcoming projects I could do, and probably have the support of thousands and thousands of eHow users behind me. Your thoughts?

Online Dividends´s last blog post..Passive Income as of 10/31/2008

@ April Ort, I really appreciate your kind words and sound advice. It’s only been a litle over a week, so I think after a month I’ll do some extensive research on the articles I’ve been writing and how well they are earning and continue to focus in those areas. It’s really cool to hear that one o your articles has made that much in such a short period of time. I’m hoping there will be some internet angels out there that pick up on a few of my articles and show them to as many people as possible. I guess we’ll see! Thanks again for the advice!

@Write for eHow, I’m glad to hear you got to meet some of the people behind eHow. I actually have already visited your blog and I enjoyed it, so I’ll definitely be back!

I think you have a great point. I would hate to put in all of this work just to see it go away all of a sudden. If I could get at least a few years of residual income from eHow, I’d be happy. As a business man, I cannot really see any faults in their business model that would drastically increase a shut down. I mean, they are making more money than we are on our articles, so they at least have an income stream if we do too. But, I do know there are a lot of factors involved – not only on eHow’s side, but also Google’s as well, and who knows what crazy ideas they’ll come with next that may change the market. Furthermore, I am quite a bit diversified, especially with my eBook and other projects going on.

@Write for eHow
It’s so true about aiming high like you said. I’m hoping I can reach my goal, and if I don’t it will be a disappointment to me , but I think I should also be proud of myself if I get even halfway.

That’s really cool that you got to visit the eHow headquarters. I’m going to find that article on your blog right now. It sounds fun!

I’m hoping I can establish a relationship with eHow like you did, and be able to be invited to places and such. I wouldn’t mind speaking about my efforts…hehe!

Sarah, I understand your concern. I think it’s always a good idea to diversify, even when writing on the internet. As a side note, however, some of us were invited to the eHow headquarters last month and got to meet the people behind eHow. And while nothing is guaranteed, I feel a lot more secure now that I’ve heard some of there plans.

I’ve blogged a bit about it on my blog if you’re interested.

How do you feel about the potential longevity of eHow? What I mean is, do you think eHow will stick around indefinitely, or might it just pull the plug at any time? Do they offer any insight into their future plans as a website? I’m just curious because when we approach ideas for passive income (and I think yours is great) it’s good to feel a little security. In the case of eHow, we basically have to rely on it just continuing to exist as is, which is not a sure thing unfortunately due to the extremely dynamic nature of the internet. Does this have any impact on your goals?
