PNN, BrightHub and eHow

I'm off to a late start this morning, so I'm going to keep this really brief.

PNN (People's News Network)

I've signed up for a PNN page and so should you. Check my page out at LauraSands.pnn.com (no www on the url) and take a look around PNN, in general, and you'll see why.

Writer's Needed!

I've just started as a Contributing Editor with www.BrightHub.com on the Blackberry Channel. Great site and I love writing for them, but we need more articles (and I need more content to edit). Please, if you have any knowledge of Blackberry (at any level), we'd love to have you write for the BB Channel. You can apply directly on the Blackberry Channel and please be sure to let them know that Laura sent you. Check out one of my articles to see just how easy it is:

eHow

Lastly, I blogged yesterday about eHow and WriterGig (a fellow writer who has published an eBook teaching us how to earn a very decent passive income with eHow). Well, WriterGig's earnings on eHow have jumped, yet again. With very little work in August, she earned nearly $1,000.00!
Check out her blog post for more information on how she did it as well as to purchase her eBook and learn about an affiliate program associated with the book.

That's it for me today, gotta get busy!

Toodles!

Are You Writing For eHow?

Well, you should be.

In case you're not familiar, eHow.com is a site featuring "how to" articles on just about every subject imaginable.

I signed up for their Writer's Compensation Program not long ago and even contributed a little to the site, but haven't really thought much of it since. Actually, I wanted to get hired with Demand Studios (aka DS) which pays upfront for eHow articles (as opposed to the revenue sharing offered in the eHow Writer's Compensation Program), but after applying with DS, I received a polite brush off...something to the effect of "don't call us, we'll call you". So, I wrote a couple of articles solely to familiarize myself with the process and prove that I could do it.

Recently, however, I've learned that there are people who are making a very nice passive income with eHow. A particular writer, known in online writing circles as WriterGig, has produced an eBook detailing how such is done. Here's an example of one of her eHow articles that offers a little more detail.

While you won't get rich with eHow, articles take a matter of minutes to write and, I imagine, if you wrote a few each day, in a few months WriterGig's formula for success could create a few extra dollars in your PayPal account. With the state of the economy being what it is today, who's willing to turn that down?
