How to Earn Ten Dollars a Day Online at eHow
$$$$
I made it! Four months after joining eHow's Writers Compensation Program, I'm bringing in an average of $10 a day. I've been discovering how to fine tune my articles, and steadily increase my earnings. I expect to be well beyond $10/day in another month or so. Here's how to do it.
Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
1. Step 1
.
***Register***
If you haven't already, register at eHow to open up an account and join the Writer's Compensation Program (see resource links, below, for a direct link to more info on registration).
2. Step 2
.
***Start producing***
eHow is primarily a site for written content, although you can include images and videos with any How-To articles that you write. So, begin writing! I've included a few links (see Resources, below) to other eHow articles that cover some of the mechanics of how to get started and contribute to eHow. Make sure to look these over, as they are chock full of good advice.
3. Step 3
.
***Don't despair!***
With your first few eHow articles, your income stream will start trickling in after a week or so, probably only pennies a day. It may hardly seem worth the effort. However, if you stick with it, the pennies become dimes, then quarters, then dollars. With the effort of only a few months, you can build up to the $5-7/day level, and continue building up after that to get to ten bucks a day (which is $3,650/year...not bad, eh!)
4. Step 4
.
***Take the long view***
An article that earns a nickel a day may seem trivial, but it's actually bringing in almost $20 a year. If it keeps producing over the years (and why wouldn't it?), it will bring you $100 in five years time. Not bad for the one or two hours of work you put into creating the article.
5. Step 5
.
***Keep writing***
The secret to eHow is not much of a secret, really. You have to contribute a lot of good-quality articles. I try to post two articles a day, though many of my colleagues are much more prolific. You won't really have a good feel for how eHow works, and what your real earning potential is, until you have gotten through your first hundred articles.
6. Step 6
.
***Don't obsess***
Your article results will vary like crazy. Some articles will get hundreds or thousands of views, while others will sit there, read by only a handful of viewers. Some articles will earn you a ton of money, while others earn absolutely nothing.
Craziest of all, you're likely to find that some of your articles with the most views produce the least earnings (or zero earnings!). Don't get stuck agonizing over the reasons why! Move on, write your next article, and your next, and next.
7. Step 7
.
***Optimize***
On the other hand, don't ignore your stats either. From your high-earning articles, learn what topics, keywords, and article styles are doing the best for you. From the poor earners, learn what isn't working.
8. Step 8
.
***Be Adsense Smart***
Adsense ads are all over the eHow pages...it's the key way they (and you) earn money, every time viewers click on the ads. Make sure your articles and Adsense ads are a good match. If not, tinker with the title and language until they are.
9. Step 9
.
***Proselytize***
Get out there, especially with your high-earning articles. Ask your friends and colleagues to visit your eHow articles, and comment on them (include your eHow colleagues as well, and make sure to visit and comment on their articles, too). Submit links to Digg, StumbleUpon, and other social networking sites.

***Six Month Update***
Well, here I am six months after getting started at eHow (and two months after first writing this article), and I'm well past the $20-a-day mark in earnings.
