Writing on eHow is more than about publishing articles. It's about being a part of a larger community of authors and supporting those who choose to write! Here's how to be an outstanding eHow member!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • time
  • constructive feedback
  • an enthusiastic perspective
  1. Step 1

    First things first, make some friends! Start reading articles on eHow, and befriend the authors of those that appeal to you. It's okay that you don't know each other face-to-face - befriending someone is an indicator that you like their work! If they return the favor, then they like yours.

  2. Step 2

    Provide feedback on author's articles. From rating the articles via the star system to providing feedback at the article's conclusion. While it's important to offer constructive criticism, it's okay to make suggestions or add items based on your knowledge. It can only enhance the article!

  3. Step 3

    Don't just do Step 2 once! If you want to be a good eHow member, it's important to visit your friend's newest articles to update and comment. The best way to do this is to set aside 30 minutes once a week (or more, if you are able) to update and make new connections!

  4. Step 4

    You may notice you receive e-mails from fellow friends who have recently published new articles. Don't be afraid to do the same! This stimulates interest in your articles and can result in greater earnings.

  5. Step 5

    Don't forget to visit the eHow community tab at the top of your eHow profile. Under this tab, eHow members can ask questions (maybe some you've been asking as well). This is also where eHow communicates with members regarding upcoming contests - complete with monetary prizes. Definitely worth checking out.

Tips & Warnings
  • While these items may sound like they take time, they don't have to! Set aside very structured times in your week to spend a little time promoting yourself, reading other's successful articles, and commenting, and these actions will all pay dividends.
