Surfers who stumble upon eHow discover a goldmine of useful information. Here you will find anything from "How to Adjust your Clutch" to "How to Leave your Lover". Pretty soon readers discover they too can be contributors to eHow, and earn some extra cash. Many eHow writers take this gig very seriously, and try to bring the community valuable information. But, if you would rather spend your time driving the serious eHow writers insane, here are a few suggestions.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use text speak. Why type out words like "you" when one letter will do? Text speak is sure to annoy a good majority of eHow contributors (and readers).

  2. Step 2

    Don't worry about homophones. Who cares that the words "to, two and too" have different meanings. They sound the same, so what is with the different spellings? It seems silly and wasteful. So go ahead, use their instead of there. It will show people you are a literary maverick.

  3. Step 3

    Ignore eHow's writer guidelines. If eHow is willing to let anyone post, do they really expect writers to follow rules? Anyway, rules were meant for the other guy.

  4. Step 4

    Turn off your spell checker. It just takes too much time to run the document through spell check. And, time is money!

  5. Step 5

    Forget about sentence structure and grammar. Those also waste time. It is all about volume, so crank out those poorly written articles, and watch the serious eHow writers squeal!

  6. Step 6

    Stop wasting time looking for useful topics. No one really needs an article on "How to Install Solar Panels" or "How to Troubleshoot your Dell Laptop". Go for articles like "How to Pick a Scab" or "How to Pour a Glass of Milk".
