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?
