Making friends at eHow is one of the easiest things you could ever do. Clicking on the invitation button and clicking on the accept button is much too simple. Keeping those eHow friends is not so easy.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Common courtsey
Common sense

Step 1

Stop begging your eHow friends to read, rate and recommend your articles. This is rude. Your eHow friends know that you write for eHow. They get automatic reminders directly from eHow when one of their friends writes a new article. If they want to read the article, they will. If they feel the article deserves a rating after reading it, they will do so.
Step 2

Stop sending personal information about yourself, your family and your work. Writers write for eHow to make make money. Generally speaking, they do not care if you had a bad date last week-end, if your colored your hair or are expecting another child.
Step 3

Stop soliciting your eHow friends. If you have an eBook to sell, mention it in your eHow bio page. If you want someone to sign up under you at another website, include that in your bio page as well.
Step 4

Stop asking for money for your causes as well as personal use. Most eHow writers have their favorite charities and will make donations there, if they want. Don't ask your eHow friends to give money to help fund the birth of your child. In most places, if you were to do that on the street, it would be considered panhandling (a polite word for begging) and it is illegal.
Step 5

Stop sending messages about every get rich quick scheme on the the internet. Constant personal messages about signing up here and logging in there are rude and unnecessary. Most eHow writers know about making money at Helium, Bukisa and Yuwie. It is highly likely most eHow writers know they can make money reading emails, taking surveys and the like. Include this information in your eHow bio page.
Step 6

Stop hitting "reply all" when sending personal messages. Should you receive a message that isn't automatically sent to the trash, reply to that one eHow friend, not every eHow friend you have. Very few, if any, personal messages need to forwarded to anyone and certainly not to every eHow friend you have.
