I’m in the process of conducting another eHow experiment so I set up a separate eHow account. No biggie, after all I set up my original account about a year and a half ago, so I’m no stranger to the process.
Imagine my surprise when shortly after setting up the account (within hours), I [...]

What is Going on Over at eHow?
Wow, an eHow Milestone
No, I’m not talking about the fact that eHow seems to have fixed the publishing problem (although that’s a good reason to celebrate), I’m talking about my first high earning article.
I’ve managed to accidentally write an article that earned over $1,000! Wow. The article took about 15 or 20 minutes to write, another [...]
eHow Articles Unavailable
It seems that there have been quite a few problems recently over at eHow. The problem came to my attention when I attempted to publish a How to and realized after a day or so that I had not received the usual “Your Article was Published” email. For those of you who don’t [...]

How an eHow Experiment Helped Me Earn a Couple of Bucks
At the end of 2008 I took inventory of my online writing. I went to each site, looked to see which articles were popular and which ones were not. I also looked to see which ones brought in the most money (with Suite 101 I could only look at article popularity since they don’t [...]

My USA Today Interview about eHow
Wow, I was mentioned in a USA Today article about Richard Rosenblatt, the owner of Demand Media which owns eHow and Demand Studios among other online sites.
About a week or so ago I was interviewed by Jeff Graham of USA Today. I didn’t get too excited because I’ve been interviewed before by other reporters [...]
eHow/Demand Studios: Opportunity for Non US Writers?
I want to start this off by saying thanks to Arvind who posted a heart-felt comment on my eHow One Year Later post. In essence, he inquired about why Demand Studios and eHow were opportunities limited to US writers only.
As a result of his comment, I sent an email to Demand Media (the parent [...]
Writing for eHow – One Year Later
Time sure flies when you’re having fun. It’s been one year since I signed up for eHow. I placed my first article on their site on September 25, 2008. Since then it’s been an interesting journey.
I’m going to share with you a few things I’ve learned in the year that I’ve been [...]
An Update to My Unscientific Experiment
A month ago I performed a little experiment. I wrote three articles using the same keywords on three different sites (Suite 101, eHow and HubPages) to see how much ‘Google Favor’ affects the success of each article. The purpose of the experiment was to ensure that I was spending my time wisely.
Maria (aka [...]
HubPages is a Keeper
As you know, I recently started writing for HubPages. Although I signed up quite some time ago, I only wrote my first article a month ago on July 20, 2009.
Understanding the nature of residual writing, I know for a fact that the first month of any online residual writing site is usually an exercise [...]
Working Smarter to Enjoy Google Favor
Recently I tried an unscientific experiment. I wrote three articles all targeting the same keywords. Although the keywords were the same, each article was unique, approaching the topic from a different angle. I then decided to place one article on Suite 101, one on HubPages and one on eHow.
After posting the articles [...]
