How to Write an Ehow Article that Doesn't get Deleted

Ehow is a site where writes can use their knowledge to help others. After writing for Ehow for a while, you learn that they perform a "system sweep" every now and then. To prevent your articles from being deleted during this sweep, try following the Ehow submission guidelines.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet
• Ehow

1. Format your title with the correct "how to" format. Much like this one is stated.

2. Provide instructional information that the reader can follow. This must be detailed step-by-step instructions. Make them clear with the correct grammar and punctuation.

3. Make the articles free from obscene or offensive material. This includes words, photos, and video. They must not contain anything that may be dangerous or illegal.

4. Stay clear of writing articles that are an advertisement and may be considered SPAM. They should never endorse a third party.

5. Avoid plagiarism at all cost! At no time will you be allowed to copy direct information from another source. Paraphrasing is also NOT allowed if it is written by another author. You must use the same byline if you are copying one of your original articles from another site onto Ehow.

6. Read the entire submission guidelines for Ehow located on the Ehow's terms of use. I have placed a link in the resources section.

Tips & Warnings

• Read the guidelines.
• Make your title a How To
• Use correct grammar
• Do not plagiarize
• Articles may be deleted at anytime if Ehow does a sweep.
