make money by contributing to ehow

Making money on ehow is a great way to build passive income for people who have extra time on their hands and have a bunch of random knowledge to share. However, getting your expertise to become money in the bank requires mastery of the ehow money earning process, which I will share with you.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Step 1

Come up with ideas for how to articles. The most important aspect of this is coming up with ideas that are useful to people. Since this is mostly subjective, it's up to your judgement to decide what's useful. Just think about what knowledge is in demand, a common part of people's lives, and hard to find elsewhere. The more useful your idea, the more you get paid.
Step 2

Write, write, and write some more. Volume is important on ehow since the individual earnings of a single article are relatively small. You can add pictures the first time or go back and add them. Either way, first focus on getting articles up and running so they can start earning money.
Step 3

Make a thorough profile. Add your personal picture, quote, and about me so people are more attracted to your profile and take your articles more seriously.
Step 4

Add friends. You can always add the featured members, but to reach the most people, find someone with a lot of friends and go through their friend list, adding everyone you can. The more friends you have the more article hits you'll get.
Step 5

Read other people's articles and leave comments and ratings, asking them to do the same. Everyone on ehow is there to help, so this is a great way to get traffic to your articles as well as positive ratings.
Step 6

Submit your article to digg.com by clicking on the digg button in your article's page. Digg is basically a website where people put up articles and webpages they find interesting. Other people, if they also find the page cool or useful, can "digg" it, and the more "diggs" an article gets, the more attention it gets. Also, add your article's URL to search engines, such as msn livesearch, google, etc.

www.google.com/addurl
www.scrubtheweb.com/addurl.html
www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=addurl
search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx

Most of these are just copy and paste your article's url, enter a verification code, and submit. Some, like scrubtheweb.com only allow one url per day per email, and have a more thorough application process. Either way, it's not too hard to submit your page to a search engine.
Step 7

Put up links to your articles on forums, blogs, even youtube videos that pertain to your article's topic. This is a great way to attract more hits to your writing.
Step 8

To really make money, post instructional videos on ehow. They always earn more than articles covering the same topic. Good luck!
