Step 1
Passion -
Write about things you are passionate about.For instance if you are a mother then you probably know quit a bit about it. Write about things you have been through as a parent and you know can benefit others. If you are passionate about animals, then write about that. If you are passionate about weight loss write about that and so on. -
Step 2
Proof read -
You always want to go over what you wrote and make sure it makes sense and correct any misspellings. Thanks to spell check if you are horrible speller, then you can use it to help spell correctly. -
Step 3
Ask others -
Ask your friends and family members what they look up on the internet. This can help you get ideas about things people want to learn and write about it. -
Step 4
Do your research -
If you want to write about something but are not to sure about the facts, then do your research. Look things up to get the facts straight and then write about it. You never want to copy any ones work so make sure you do not! Reword things to make it your on. -
Step 5
Read magazines -
To help get the creativity flowing for some articles read, read, read! Seriously when I am out of ideas about what to write about I read popular magazines and I get inspired. Then I start writing and sometimes I can't stop. Of course you can not plagiarize articles so only read to get inspired and learn things to write about. Never copy someone else work, this can actually get you kicked off eHow! -
Step 6
Good info -
Make sure your article is worth reading to others. You wan to fill it with good information people will find useful. If you just write a bunch of useless knowledge then you will get low ratings which will not look so great to others. -
Step 7
Keywords - Use keywords that will generate a lot of traffic but are also in your article. You don't want to put keywords that have nothing to do with your article, again because it may lead to low ratings. You can Google popular keywords to see what is popular at the time.

Step 8
Consider the popular topics to write about.
Weight loss
Beauty including makeup and hair
Children
Animals
Making money
Relationships
Family
Home and Garden
Health
Self improvement
Do it yourself projects
All of these are popular web searches and with a good informative article based on one of these it is sure to get lots of views. Just make sure it is well written and informative. -
Step 9
Share your articles with friends and family by posting them on your Myspace, Facebook or simply ask them to go to eHow and check it out. This helps create traffic to your articles and they can leave comments on what they think. Listen to their critiques and learn from them, they are only trying to help you.
-
Step 10
Each time you post an article on eHow it asks you if you would like to publish it to Facebook, so take advantage of it and do it! If you do not have a Facebook then create one it is free and it can help you.
