Best Site To Earn Residual Income Writing

Best Site To earn Residual Income Writing



I earn a full time income from home and have been for about 9 years. The first 7 of those years, my income was strictly from selling on Ebay. (If you follow my blog, you noticed I explained exactly how to make money there.) Two years ago, I decided to see what the fuss was about online, all these people claiming to earn tons of residual income writing.

I had no mentor or friend to ask questions to. I just had to do my best and wing it.



What I tried first to earn residual income by writing.

So, I started out blogging, which I ended up earning pocket change. Nevertheless, I got discouraged. All this time I spent writing, and I earned so little. Trying to figure out how to earn more money blogging, I went to Ehow, to get a few questions answered and noticed they paid you to write "How to" articles. I began writing there about 10 months ago. At Ehow you can earn amazing residual income! My first complete month I made about $25, and the next month I doubled that. By September my earnings were $125 a month. I write very little at Ehow. I might spend 6 hours a week. Between October and January I maybe wrote 2 articles and earnings keep coming in.



Since then, I started writing at many other sites, and have done some research. Ehow still seems to be the absolute best site to write at to earn residual income. I write at Associated Content, Bukisa and Firehow, and earning do not come close.



Top earners at Ehow are making around $2000 a month. As with any job, the more time you put into it the more money you earn.

If you are having problems publishing, there is an option you can click, "Switch to expanded View." This will usually help! If you are still having problems losing work, simply write it on your Microsoft works, and paste it at Ehow!

Ehow payment Help!
You get paid once a month, as long as you have reached $10, if you have not reached $10, it carries over to the next month.

Payment is usually the first half of the next month! In other words, if your payment for July is $75, you will get paid before the 15th of August. The exact day will vary.

If you go to your earnings tab and it reads carryover (when you are awaiting payment,) and you have made over $10, do not be alarmed, it will switch to pending shortly.


Ehow help for writing proper!

How to write your first article at Ehow

How to write your first article at Ehow

Well, you have signed up for the writers comepnsation program for free at Ehow, and it is time to write your first article.

Pick a topic you know about.

Choose your keywords, I have an article here on my blog on how to find the best keywords.

Ok, now that you have your keywords, you can start to write your first article at Ehow.

Make sure your keywords are in the title, and you also want to place them throughout your article often, but so it read's smooth. By putting the keywords in "too much" you can hurt your article's earnings as well. So place them in the title, once or twice in the description, and once in each step.

Each step of your Ehow article must include an action. For example:

First, pull out all of the ingredients listed.

Make sure to use proper english with periods and capitals in the proper places.

Add your keywords, and submit.

The first Ehow article you write may take a couple weeks or a month to earn money, be patient and keep writing. Write as much as you can in the beginning!

Find Good Keywords for your Ehow Article.

Good keywords can be the difference in making a couple dollars on an Ehow article and making alot more money.

Here is the best way to find the best paying keywords for your Ehow articles.

Go to Google keyword Tool for the best paying keywords, I have included the link below.

Once there type in your keyword. Scroll down and to the right and you will see "Choose columns to display" click show estimated CPC.
The keywords similar to what you typed in and show the average Cost per click (this is for advertisers but helps you understand which words pay better.)

Notice the local search volume to the right. If you see a keyword that pays well but has a low search volume number you may not want to choose that phrase. The best paying keyword you can choose is one that pays well and is searched fairly often.

Ehow Earnings

It is always motivational to me to see how much people are making at Ehow. My earnings were up to $125 (Monthly)in October 2009. Ehow had a situation that came up with their UK site in which all of our earnings were greatly effected. The norm at Ehow is that your earnings either grow, or if you stop writing they atleast stay about the same. However with the UK problem, many of us at Ehow noticed our earnings down since November. That is true for me, as well. My earnings are down to about $75 a month, and I have been trying hard to write more this month, to get earnings back up.

If you find articles that are older that stop earning, you can resubmit them to search engines. Find your Ehow url and submit it to www.google.com/addurl/ and Bing www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx?FORM=WSDD this seems to help earnings at Ehow.

I was just reading in the forums at Ehow and again for motivation and inspiration, I am adding a post of another Ehowers Earnings. She states she was making $205 in October and now her earnings are at about $185 a month. Here is her link Her Blog

You may think, I may know how to do a few things, but how will I ever keep coming up with new articles for Ehow?

The truth is there are thousands of things you know "How To" do.

Can you cook? Do you have recipes to share?

The list goes on and on, can you get puppy potty out of the carpet amazingly?

Starting out at Ehow, What to expect

Starting out at Ehow, you need to have patience. In the forum, many new Ehowers announce their concerns about having many views and little earnings. Maybe they just made .74 cents. This is normal. It takes time for the articles to get into the search engines and mature. How Long? Well, it just depends on how much you write. Many of us members at Ehow try to "spread out our writing," in other words. Instead of writing 5 articles every Friday, Spread them out and write one every day or every other day. No one knows the true way we get paid at Ehow, it is a big secret. We believe it is based on a number of things including Ad Clicks, Views, Involvement at Ehow (rating and commenting on other's articles- although some Ehow member's do not feel this one makes a difference) and some of us noticed that when we spread out our writing, we earn more money.

My best tip is for you to write as much as possible the first few months. Set a goal for yourself and do not worry about earnings. By your second month on Ehow you may make payout.

There is alot to learn on Ehow to make the most money you can, and again, I plan on using this platform to share all I have learned.

As I mentioned before, I do believe Ehow is the best paying writing site out there, and I have tried many.

Ehow Earnings Blog

I began writing on Ehow in May of 2009 and often at the beginning I would search for anything I could on how to make money at Ehow. I would try to see what others at Ehow were making, as well and that is what motivated me to keep writing. I am dedicating this blog just to Ehow. I will post earnings and different things I have learned along the way. I hope this will motivate you to keep writing.

That being said, let's start at square one.
Is there potential to earn money at Ehow? Yes! I have tried writing at many sites including Associated Content, Bukisa, Firehow and blogging and I have found that EHOW pays the best. From everything I have read online this seems to be true that Ehow is the best place to write.

The next big question, when should I expect money to start rolling in?
In the beginning pennies just roll in. The key is DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED. At Ehow you earn residual income, which means the article you write today, will keep earning you money 6 months from now. the articles take some time to mature. In the beginning do not focus on the earnings, but write as many good quality articles as you can. The first month at Ehow I started at the end of the month and did not make payout. the very next month I made $25, and the foloowing month I made about $45.

What are the top earners making at Ehow? From what I have read, top earners are making up to $2000 a month. One of the popular Ehow writers at Ehow just posted his earnings in the forum and he is making a bit over $1000 a month. It looks like he has been at Ehow about 2 years.

My first article I wrote did stink I have learned alot in the few months I have been at Ehow. Keep learning and reading as much as you can. The nice thing is that once an article is written, it is written and will keep making you money. So after you get a nice library of articles, you can sit back a bit and write less often.

Keep checking in, I will share everything I know and everything I have learned at Ehow, as often as I can. I am dedicating this Blog to solely my Ehow experience to help other Ehowers!

If you do not want to wait for more posts, I have recently created a nice and fairly short and to the point E-book on how to Earn money at Ehow, the secrets! It is only $6.50 and worth every penny. Feel free to check it out.
