hey there.
I am a ehow writer.

I am happy with what I am getting but would like to make more. So far, I had been getting paid each month since October 2008.

I also have Janet Ford’s Maria O’Brien’s ebook and some other ehow writer but in her ebook, she list other places to write at and not just at ehow. I love ehow but I need upfront payment.
Anyway, ehow has been a wonderful experience and will keep writing for them for a long time as long as I keep getting paid.

I agree Janet – I don’t want people to laugh when I say I write for eHow. I hope it can become more professional!

When all is said and done, the only things you have to trade on is your credibility and name. Everything you do, which places you under the harsh light of your readers’ scrutiny, must reflect who you are.

If you want to write articles like you’re processing widgets on an assembly line, then that’s what you get in return. I’m glad that eHow is reining in the nonsense. I’ve just signed up with eHow and am wringing my hands on what my first article should be. All writers should feel this “nervousness” when they want to write their best.

Thanks, Felicia, for articulating what all of the legitimate writers are feeling.

Amen! I agree wholeheartedly with you on this. I’m so happy ehow is placing these stricter controls on what content is allowed there. This will also serve to boost our reputations as ehow writers. When I tell people I write for ehow, I want it to mean something! And the more Google loves ehow, the more money we can all make with the resulting high rankings. Clone articles only serves to hurt the overall ranking so it is not only the writers who write the clone articles which pay a price, we ALL pay a price in the end. Thank you for mentioning my ehow ebook. I really enjoyed writing it. I’m very passionate about ehow and always excited to help someone else take this same path that I enjoy so much.

I am so with you on this!! Especially the 50 states articles. I just commented on that in one of the forums. I think eHow should have an application process like many of the other sites. I doesn’t have to be as detailed as Suite’s, but at least SOMETHING. I think that would get rid of some of the people who’s SOLE interest is to write 300 articles in a month on How to Pay Taxes in Colorado, etc….
