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 share [...]
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 writing for [...]
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 WriterGig) [...]
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 I searched [...]
The Demand Studios Score Card
It seems that Demand Studios has instituted a scoring system to “motivate” writers. In my opinion the scorecard does nothing but add to the writer’s stress level. I took a look at my current score for all time. Since I barely write for them anymore, it was interesting to see how the numbers stacked up. [...]
Adding HubPages to My Freelance Writing Arsenal
Very recently I became interested in HubPages. I became inspired to try HubPages after reading Lissie’s blog (If you haven’t visited her blog you should do so). It seems that her success with HubPages is similar to my success with Suite 101. She’s been with them for a couple of years and it’s paying off. [...]
Bukisa is Cleaning Up Their Act
In reviewing the July, 2009 newsletter from Bukisa (I think it’s the first one I’ve ever received); I was pleased to see they were implementing a few changes. Some of the changes I really couldn’t care much about. Things like Private Messaging, widgets, banners, comments and invites don’t mean much to me. I have too [...]
