eHow

So now I will explain to you the process of writing articles for eHow. It is actually very easy. They don't require you to pass any tests- your success is based on your skill because pay is determined by some secret algorithm that figures in how frequently your page is viewed with how well it is rated, etc. They won't stop you from writing an article about something that is already covered, but they strongly discourage it. It's not in your best interest. The template for writing the articles is very easy. However, depending on the success of your article, you may not make a dime. Or you could make a little cash. eHow seems to be reputable, and it is kind of fun to write the articles. I have already written a second one that pertains to the Spina Bifida community. It is also good to just have the information out there on the web so that you can refer people to it later, rather than having to give different people the same advice over and over again. So watch out. Next time someone asks me me for advice, I may just say, "Actually, I wrote an eHow article about that. Here's the link. Now what else did you want to talk about?" Ha ha.
