Sometimes Articles Do Make More on Associated Content

Most of the time it seems that there is not much money to be made on Associated Content, however, I have noticed that there are times when an article can make more money on AC than anywhere else.

There is a quirky editing team on AC that offers more money for articles that on subject matters that are not well covered or even heard of.

Has AC ever offered you a low up front payment for a good keyworded article because "there are already too many articles on AC covering the subject? This has happened to me numerous times. I can write an article on a good topic such as Credit or Teeth Whitening only to be offered two bucks from AC.

I can then write an article (fictitious) on How to Clean My Eyebrows with Mayonnaise and AC offers a fair amount. Since this article would not make a penny anywhere else, I am happy to take an offer from AC.

I have noticed that some of my articles that have never made a penny on websites such as eHow, Bukisa, Blogger, and Hubpages, even after being posted for many months or years, can then be sold to Associated Content for an upfront offer. It is unbelievable.

If you have articles that have never made a penny or have been deleted off of other writing websites, you just may want to give them a try over a AC before sending them to the recycle bin.

EHow Experiment December 2009 Earnings Report

Technically eHow has not given the final earnings report for 2009 so I do not know if this is my final number or if another days worth of earnings will be added. So far this looks accurate to me. I made $496 in December. It is a little lower than I am used to, but still very nice. EHow rocks!

EHow, Other Writing Sites and Affiliates Yearly Earnings Total

This is for anyone that is wondering how much I have made this year on writing websites and affiliate links. This total includes all writing websites, data entry websites and affiliate links. This total does not include money made from stocks or currency.

I have received $8,307.93 from eHow, Bukisa, Associated Content, Mturk, and my affiliate links, such as Clickbank and Oainternet in 2009. I did not earn enough to make payout from Google Adsense. I did not make a penny from Amazon Affiliates or any other website not listed above. That is about $692 per month.

This is the amount that I have received. I will not receive any more payments until 2010. This amount does not include December earnings because I will not be paid for them until 2010.

Of course I worked hard this year setting up these accounts, writing and creating links. If you want more help getting started, see my article about tips for writing eHow articles.

I hope to double my earnings in 2010. EHow earnings are on the low side this month, but I have heard that it is normal for the end of the year. Good luck to you all.

How to Make More Money On Ehow

Here are some things that I have found helpful when writing on eHow. I have hundreds of articles and I have tried everything that I was told to do. Many of the things I was told just wasted my time.

Things to do:

Write often and on a variety of topics.
Write about what you know.
Write about things that you, your family and friends would search for.
Write more articles on the topics that make you money, but do not clone.
Always write completely original articles.
Always write at least 400 words.

Things to avoid:

Wasting your time posting in the forums.
Wasting your time commenting on other peoples articles.
Wasting your time with photos, I recommend you don't use any.
Wasting your time posting your articles to social networks such as stumbleupon, yahoobuzz, etc.

I will continue to update this post with new information as often as possible so that you can make more money on eHow!

eHow November Earnings and Deleted Article Report

This was a very exciting month. My eHow earnings were $617. I love eHow. Although others have said that there are writing sites that pay similar or more than eHow, I have not found one.

I think eHow pays better than anyone else.

Also this month I had some deleted articles restored. I sure hope it is permanent. That is very exciting because some of my articles that had been deleted were very high earners.

Thanks eHow!

eHow.com October Earnings Report

I made $609 this month! Woo Hoo!

I made a total of $1735 from all of my online writing and affiliates.

This month I tried to clean up some of my eHow articles by making corrections and moving none earning articles (that have not earned in more than 6 months). I moved the articles to Associated Content if they would give me a fair price and if not, I moved them to Bukisa.

eHow.com September Earnings Report

Wow, I am so excited about my eHow.com September earnings. I made $515 dollars in September! The amazing part is that I only wrote about five or six articles, I can't remember because it has been so long.

eHow.com = set it and forget it!

I have even taken down some of my articles that had not earned a penny in six months and sold them to AC. I now will continue to take down zero earning articles and place them on Associated Content. If Associated Content does not want to pay me for them, I then post them on Bukisa. Bukisa pays more per view than AC, but does not pay upfront payments.

eHow.com is no doubt the best online writing site.

I am on to promoting my affiliates now. My best affiliate link so far is Male Enhancement Products.

Keep on keepin on with eHow.com

My total for all online passive income adventures for September of 2009 was $1,198.00, this figure does not include money made from stock and forex trading.

eHow.com Really Works! August Earnings Report

It is really true, the passive income method on eHow.com really works. In August I made $488 dollars from eHow. The amazing thing is that I only wrote 10 articles in August. I normally write about 100 articles per month and those articles add to the bottom line.

This month, I wanted to see if I would continue to make around $500 per month without writing and the results show that the experiment worked. EHow.com is a great place to make a passive income.

I have not written any articles for September and I have made $54 in the first three days. September is looking good as well.

I do have over 600 articles on eHow.com and I do lose a few every time they have a sweep.

In the last sweep, I lost 9 articles. One of them was one of my top 10 earners and had been since January. Bummer.

July eHow Earnings Update

July Earnings update for eHow.com

Sorry that I did not get to this post sooner. I finally broke $500 on eHow this month. It has been a long road, but well worth the wait.

Here are my July earnings for writing online:

$506 eHow
$87 mTurk
$9 Associated Content

I did not make enough for a payout from Bukisa, but I have since surpassed the $10 minimum and I will get a payout next month. So far I have only received $13.99 from Bukisa since January.

I wrote a couple of articles for Associated Content, but my current articles are not earning a lot, only about $1.50 per month. That is enough to make the minimum payout. I have received almost $100 from Associated Content since I started in January.

Towards the end of the month I was a little concerned that I would not reach the $500 mark on eHow, but luckily they pulled through for me. I really notice a huge difference in earnings when I am able to write a lot. If I do not write a lot my earnings go down slightly and then level off.

Good luck to all of you and have a great day.

eHow of the Day

My article on watering your summer garden is the eHow of the Day. This is so exciting. I just love eHow! Today you can just go to www.ehow.com today to see my article.

Along with getting a few more friend requests and recommendations, I also received the $75 for winning the homepage contest as well.

This is a very exciting day. I feel like I am on the cover of Rolling Stone or Time Magazine.

Thank you all for all of your encouragement and support. I can't wait to see all of my friends articles on the homepage of eHow.

Ehow $75 Bonus Mystery SOLVED!

Ehow finally announced the winners of the June homepage contest and now I know for sure that is why I received the $75.00 bonus with my June earnings. Very nice. Thank you Ehow. My journey to making passive income online is going well. I still wish I knew more, but I am learning everyday.

Ehow.com is definitely a viable option for making passive income online. I am proof of that. It is a lot of work to get it going and I don't think that I will slow down until I have 1500 articles or more. We shall see.

I still do not know the best topics to write about and I am constantly researching new topics. There are only so many articles that one can write about weight loss, flat abs and starting your own business. I need some fresh meat. What to write about next? Ehow seems to want more summer gardening articles so I assume that those are really needed. However, I wonder when they will put my article on watering your summer garden on the homepage.

I guess we will all have to wait and see.

EHow Homepage Featured Article

EHow has chosen one of my summer home and garden articles to feature on their homepage. I just received an email yesterday from an eHow.com gal telling me that she is currently programming the home page and that she wants to feature my article on How to Save Money Watering Your Summer Garden.

My response of course was woo hoo!. I am so thrilled. I really feel like I am part of the eHow community. What an honor to be featured on the homepage. She did not tell me anything else about is such as when it will be featured or where on the homepage it will be featured. Of course I am hoping for the top spot. EHow is so incredible. Nothing else seems to compare in my book. EHow.com is the best.

Of course now I am checking the homepage every few minutes to see if my article has made it to the number one spot yet. In the meantime my earnings have been great. They were over $17 dollars today. I am averaging more than $14.00 per day this month. This will be a great month. All of my hard work is starting to pay off.

I really do not think that I am some kind of fabulous writer. I think that just about anyone can write articles online at eHow.com and make passive income. Sometimes I read posts on the forum from people that are expecting to make hundreds of dollars from their 50-100 articles. That is not enough. Even at 300 articles I knew I did not have enough. Now that I am at 543, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is getting brighter.

Of course, I had to learn a little bit about SEO (search engine optimization). I still have about 77 articles that have never earned a penny. My highest earning article has earned $35, but I have a number two article that is up to $33 and I think it will surpass my top earning article any time now.

The key to success on eHow.com seems to be writing a lot of articles on a variety of subjects. Even subjects that appear to be over used such as weight loss and travel are still good topics to write about. Just put your opinions in the how to format and you are set.

I need to pinch myself because I still cannot believe that I am going to be featured on the homepage of ehow.com. Thank you eHow!

July Ehow.com Earnings Goals

I still have a goal to make $500 per month on ehow and I have a feeling that this is the month that will do it. I came very close last month at $443. This month so far I have averaged $14.26 per day. That is an excellent start. I think that I will probably meet my goal this month.

I have 543 articles at the moment and hope to add three articles per day in the month of July. It is much more difficult now that the article titles are restricted but I think that I can do it. I still believe that quantity is key on ehow. Quality and keywords is also important. Many of my first articles have never earned a penny because I did not understand enough about keywords. Most of my articles that earn well have been written in the last three months.

Anyone can earn on ehow and I hope that all of you are enjoying yourselves and making some extra cash as well.

June Ehow Earnings

Wow, what a month on eHow. I made a total of $443.70. Slightly lower than my goal of $500.00 but I am getting closer. My articles made me $368.70 which was surprisingly low I thought, but most of them are still new. I also earned a $75.00 bonus which was extremely cool. I have made a total of $946.76 on ehow.com since I started in December.

Ehow is so much better than I thought, I wish I had realized it sooner. I think they need better tutorials on how to write for them and make money because if more people understood what they needed to do, they would do it. It is such a mystery and everyone is trying to figure it out on their own.

I only wrote 73 articles this month which was short of my goal but I have had some writers block and too much goofing around on the internet, etc. I want to write at least 90 articles per month, so I will make it up this month. I now have 536 articles total.

My views increased from 73,183 to 118,857 in the month of June. That is a nice increase in views.

I did not make enough on bukisa or associated content for a payout on earnings for views, but I did make $2.50 for one article on associated content. I am not really sure if it is worth it to write anything for associated content. Because bukisa and AC pay based on views, I try to write articles that I think will get a lot of views, but it still does not pay very much. I love the upfront payments at AC but with very little coming in after it does not seem worth it. My ehow articles make me much more and they keep making me money over time.

Ehow Earnings half way through June

Technically tomorrow will have the official update of my ehow earnings for half way through the month of June. Right now I am at $136.80 and I am very happy about that. My earnings are fluctuating every day but mostly increasing. I am expecting $9-$13 in tomorrows update. Ehow has been so wonderful at updating our earnings lately. It is so nice to depend on it every day.

My views have increased slightly also. I did have a few days when the views were crazy high but it may be possible that they were just making up for missed days. I normally received 700-1,000 views per day, but now it is 1,000 or more per day.

Hopefully my earnings and views will go hand and hand on the way up.

May Ehow Earnings Report

My fifth month on ehow was completed at the end of May. My earnings were $255.18. Short of my goal but definitely not something to complain about. May be I set my goal too high. I have heard from others that it was a slow month. I was doing great until around the 22nd of the month when earnings started dropping. I thought it was strange because I was writing a lot of articles. I have a total of 463 articles at the moment. Other ehow members claim they were making a lot more money by their fifth month with less articles. I hope there is not something I am doing wrong.

I wrote a total of 105 articles in May. Not too shabby. I thought that since some of my earlier articles have seasoned a little that it would start to pick up. I guess it takes longer than I thought. Either way, ehow seems to be an excellent way to make some extra money. It is not something you can depend on because you never know how things will go, but it is nice extra income.

I have re-adjusted my goal to $500.00 for June. I like to aim big.

One Day Left Until Final May Ehow Earnings

The last day of May is finally here, earnings have not been at all what I expected, but I certainly would not say that I am disappointed because the earnings at ehow.com are good even if they are not what I thought they would be.

This month I cranked out a lot of articles and I expected to see some great increases in my earnings. Of course, I did earn more, but the numbers were not any where near what I expected. I still think that ehow is fabulous because as I said before the numbers are better than anywhere else. If I had put these same articles on other sites such as Associated Content or Bukisa, I most likely would not have made as much.

I will wait until tomorrow before I release the final earning amount for May, after all I still have one day left.

I do still believe that it is necessary to write about a variety of topics and to write several articles on each topic because you never no which ones will be winners.

The top subjects still seem to be:

1. Legal
2. Financial
3. Web Hosting
4. Medical
5. Travel

I hope that everyone reached their goals this month. I am 20 articles short of my article writing goal this month, but I still have the rest of the day, so I may write a few more. Even though I did not reach my writing goal, I still wrote 105 articles which is still a good amount of articles.

Ehow.com Earnings on Target for $300.00 for May

My Ehow.com earnings are on target for $300.00 for May. I am glad that I set my goal at $500.00 because I love a challenge. Even if I don't reach it, I know that I will at least double my income from last month.

It has been more difficult than I thought. I have to write a continuous stream of new articles to keep up the pace. This is difficult sometimes.

Also, there are topics that I thought would be high earners and they are not. There are other topics that I did not think would be great earners and then they surprisingly are good earners. There are times when I write three articles on the same subject and two are duds and the third is a good earner, go figure. I guess I must have the formula right in only the one article.

Sometimes I am thinking about SEO when I am writing and other times I am just so consumed with the topic that I forget to include SEO techniques. When I try to use SEO techniques, my articles do not sound as smooth. I am probably over thinking the problem.

I am very happy that ehow has regularly updated earnings for the past 6 days, I think that may be a record. I was reading in the forums and found some old posts from more than a year ago. I guess they were having the same problems back then. I hear that they are working on the problem and hope to have it fixed soon.

I also fall into a rut of writing about the things that I am really familiar with. I should branch out and learn new things.

I hope that all of you are reaching your goals. Even if I fall slightly short of my goal for the month of May, I will still feel that it was a success because my earnings have already surpassed what I made last month.

Ehow April Earnings Report

Early in the year I had set some goals for myself in regards to my ehow earnings. I wanted to make $60 in March, $120 in April and $500 in May. March fell short by $20, April exceeded my expectations and I reset my goal to $150 in April. My actual April earnings were $158.96

April started out with $1 + days, and slowly turned into $3 days, $4 days, $5 days, $7 days and then ending the month in $15, $12, $27 days. What a month! I can't wait to see what happens in May.

I now feel that I am on target for my May goal of $500. The crucial difference is the number of articles that I now have on ehow, over 360 articles. I have covered a lot of topics and feel that I have a good balance of articles. I will continue to write articles at the rate of 3 per day on average.

I am still earning with some other websites such as Mturk, associated content, bukisa, stock trading and forex, but lately I have obsessed with increasing my ehow earnings and increasing my article count. Now that it is done, I can concentrate on my other money making endeavors. Good luck with your ehow earnings!
