Another eHow Spotlight!
jkmom2007
http://www.ehow.com/members/jkmom2007.html
Priding her self as a mom of 2, she is an excellent writer for exercise topics!
Here is a list of articles I have thoroughly enjoyed of jkmom2007s.
How to Choose a Running Route (I personally found it as an informative article, for I am a runner myself :D)
How to Save Money at The Grocery Store (We all need to learn to do this nowadays)
How to Find a New Job When You're Not Looking (a very cleverly written article)
So, as one could see she is an awesome writer, coming up with some very useful topics for the How To. While she may be new to eHow, I foresee her making an impact towards the community! :)
Until next time,
Jeff

eHow Spotlight 2
The second eHow spotlight goes to:
Christen Henderson!!!
Christen has the qualities for a very successful eHow writer! What amazes me (which helped her seal the deal to get the Spotlight) is that she can produce articles in quality AND quantity!
Some of my favorite articles of Christen's:
How to Take Control Of Your Life (brand new article, but AWESOME!!!)
How to Produce Quality Articles Faster (another must read article)
How to Advertise your Article For More Views (this is an article that all eHow writers should use! Simply written, but very effective)
I have personally chatted with Christen here and there, and it's always fun and interesting. Not to be rude, but I have a feeling that she will be (if not already) a top earner on eHow. With over a hundred quality articles, it would not surprise me.
So, go check out Christen and see why she deserves some spotlight :)

eHowlity: 3 - Getting Over the Hurdles
You can imply from the title where I am going to venture into :)
Lately, eHow has provided some challenges for all of us writers... whether it be the delays in earning or views, or recommendations disappearing, it can be frustrating.
*Writers new AND old pay attention!*
No matter what, do not focus on the stressors and setbacks!! You have to understand that this is just something that happens. What is the true task that you need to focus on is the the writing itself! Too many people have a minor setback, but turn it into a MAJOR setback!
Focusing on these negativity only will fire back at you! Think about it, you keep on refreshing and venting about how you cannot get your views fixed (I know, for I have done this before)... next thing you know you go on the forum to vent, and about 10 minutes later you accomplished nothing... and most likely you are still angry.
WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE: Tell yourself "no worry, eHow will eventually fix this problem, I better just start writing on my articles until the situation is settled."
So, let's say you found your views have been frozen since last year *cough, cough* ...you know what you do? You overlook it! Yes, it is incredibly helpful to physically see an increase in views. However, in writing reality... does it matter? Just simply tell yourself "Now I don't have to waste my time seeing what my views are... let's start writing self!"
I really do not want to say this, but it is SO true: YOU ARE YOUR BIGGEST HURDLE!
On that note, stay focused and keep writing! Setbacks happen to us all, everyday. It is up to you to choose the right action.

How I will make money from eHow... and so can you!
These last couple of days have been a mixture of both work and goal-setting. ...I'll admit, maybe I have been thinking a bit more than taking action, but I have found so much new and wonderful information, that I just have been amazed and excited to learn!
I have been reading and learning so much from these blogs by eHow writers:
http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/ (ehow member: TheWriteGuy)
http://mywahm.blogspot.com/ (ehow member: WriterGig)
http://nifty-things.blogspot.com/ (ehow member: Christen Henderson)
...there are a ton of useful, interesting blogs based from other eHowers, but the above are by far the best! :)
Writergig and WriteGuy is incredibly insightful, and I am using these two blogs as guides to my success. Christen's blog brings a sense a personality from her blog; something that I think this blog does too!
Anyways, I have been trying to launch several projects, eager to get 2009 rolling. There's so much to do, but so little time... and I will have to be sure to stay focused, organized, and stick to a schedule.
On a little note, I am a bit bummed out, because my earnings have fallen down a bit. The reason for this is that I was lucky enough to have had How to Make New Year's Eve Party Food make me almost a dollar a day, in fact it made me $7 one day, and $10 another! Now, the article has run it's course (for now, hopefully) and the earnings have been a couple pennies.
Nonetheless, I am happy that this happened in a way, because I know that I cannot depend on simply one article... and that old fashioned moral to NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED rang through again today!
Feel free to share your blog, or say whatever is on your mind!

eHowlity: 2
This post is going to play the numbers game for those eHowers that are trying to set some new 2009 goals. The calculations to follow will be based on three main factors: number of articles written, daily earning, and earning for article.
Just before we begin, the average click from ads on eHow articles will vary, but I have noticed at least $.02/clicked ad... and thus that will serve as our minimum standard with the calculations. (If you have different stats on $/clicked ad, then feel free to use those numbers)
1.) 100 articles:
This is the most realistic out of all possibilities, but actually requires the most work. Why is that? For you need to make certainty that each article is being viewed to as many people as possible. As well, you want these articles to have the best possible keywords, tags, etc. So, if you do write and promote well enough, you could make minimum 100 x .02 = $2/day ($60/month) ... I know, that's not much for all the effort, but if you did the promoting, and highest possible quality articles, then you could expect to see at least $.20 per article. 100 x .20 = $20/day ($600/month). That look's a lot more enticing, and worth your time.
2.) 200 articles:
Again, a realistic possibility, but you need to need to still focus on solid promoting. So, let's say you are a hard-worker, follow the same method as you did with the first 100 articles. 200 x (.02-.20) = $4-40/day ($120-1200/month)
3.) 500 articles:
This is the most challenging, but most profitable. There is no reason that you cannot do it! If you can write 200 solid articles, you can write 500! The reason why there is so much potential is that you have the perfect mix of quality and quantity. If you think about it, you are going to have at least 10 articles making $1/day, minimum. So, potentially: 500 x (.02-.20) = $10-100/day ($300-3000/month).
4.) 1,000 articles:
Yes, a daunting task... but if you would rather spend more time writing than promoting, then this is possible. Just to give you an idea: 1000 x .02 = $20/day ($600/month). Now, realistically if you have written 1,000 quality articles, then you are bound to have at least 10 articles(that's 1% of all your articles) earning at least a $1/day. So, it would be realistic to make $30/day ($900/month).
5.) 2,000 articles:
Just for fun, let's say you write on topics that are humorous, and the reader knows they are not going to expect something completely serious. Obviously, trying to write 2,000 articles would take some time, but if you can write short, sweet articles... it is 'possible'. This method is emphasis of quantity over quality. Even more, with 2,000 articles, you are bound to have someone read/click ads. 2000 x .02 = $40/day ($1200/month)
To make some conclusions, you have to sit down and decide what path you want to take: Focus on quality articles or quality promoting. Now, I'm not saying to not create quality work, but it's difficult to focus extra time to ensuring the highest quality possible. As well, promoting can be simple if you know the effective resources and sites (this will be discussed in future posts).
So, take some time to digest what just went on above. It's really simple in text, but remember that numbers is 1% of the process, taking action is the next 99%. Do not focus too much on numbers, rather spend a couple minutes on a Sunday (or whatever is your free day) to make some updates to your goals.
Until next time,
Jeff

New year, New Writing Goals
This post is inspired from an eHow forum discussion, focused on stating New Year 2009 goals for eHow.
These are my personal goals:
1.) Have written 1,000 articles by end of the 2009 years.
2.) Make a $1,000 month by March (...so I got 3 months to give that done, oh boy!)
3.) Make eHow writing a steady income, thus making it a full-time job.
So, please feel free to share your goals, ideas, etc. :)
I will try and make some little sidebar item that can be a little progress report as well, if anyone knows how to make this, let me know PLEASE!
SO, happy new year and hope 2009 is better than 2008!
