Passive Income

Writing articles on eHow produces one of my most steady streams of passive income. After a few months, my earnings shot up to around $50 to $75 a month. Unfortunately, they have been hovering around the same amount for the past few months.

April Updates

During the month of April, my eHow earnings actually decreased by 29%. I must admit this is rather shocking to me and underscores my complete ignorance on determining just how eHow calculates our earnings. I only published 3 articles in April and did not post anything in the forums. I wonder if this has anything to do with it. In May, I plan on writing 10 to 15 articles, and posting a few comments, to see if it makes any difference.

Here is a breakdown of my eHow earnings so far this year:

April

• 3 articles published

• $61.55

March

•  7 articles published

• $79.48

February

•   6 articles published

• $48.96

January

•  18 articles published

• $50.79

Total Earnings

• 34 articles published
• $254.62

So as you can see, my earnings are relatively flat. Besides the one good month in March, my earnings are approximately $50 a month. I originally had a goal of writing one article per day during 2009, but I obviously not been too good at sticking to that one. A more realistic goal is to write 10 articles a month for the rest of the year and see where that takes me. 10 articles a month until 2010, would add 80 new articles, bringing my total to 185.

Perhaps that amount would get me to $100 a month.

So how did you do in April? Did you learn anything new?

Everyone knows how much I love Janet’s How To Write For eHow eBook. It is full of useful information that will help you maximize your income potential. It continually amazes me to see the difference in the articles I wrote before I read her book and the articles I wrote after I read her book.

If you have ever considered purchasing it, now is the time. For a limited period, Janet has reduced the price of her book to only $15. I paid $27 for my copy and I assure you it is worth every penny, in my opinion. Every day I see writers on eHow that have written hundreds of articles, yet merely make $5 or $10 a month. Your time is worth more than that.

The primary objective of this blog is to become debt free. A secondary objective is to try and earn as much passive income as possible. If you are a regular reader here, you will already know that I absolutely love eHow. I think the potential earnings from writing for them is tremendous. With only 45+ articles written, I am already making between $30 – $50 per month.

In the beginning, my articles were poorly constructed and my earnings were slow, at best. One of the smartest things I did was to purchase Maria’s eBook. This well written eBook taught me a ton of new ways to tweak my articles so that I would get more visitors. As we all know, visitors equal money.

While surfing the eHow forums this morning, I found out that another eHow super-producer was having a 48-hour sale on her eBook. To be honest with you, I did not even know that she had an eBook available. I am a huge fan and I have wondered many times how she is able to generate more than $1,000 from eHow each month. Since this eBook has been reduced to only $10, I went ahead and purchased it.

I will say that I was initially afraid that I would be spending money on information that I has already learned from Maria’s eBook. That fear quickly subsided as I immediately downloaded the book and began to read it. Both books are jam-packed with useful tips, and secrets, that they use to earn money from eHow. To be honest with you, if I had written such great eBooks, I would charge a lot more than $10.

Please note that this is not some scam trying to get you to buy the book today. Janet sells these all day at $27, and after the 48-hour sale 40-hour sale is up, she will be selling them for $27 again. I can honestly tell you that I have learned a few things in each book that will more than pay for this initial purchase. If fact, I would estimate that the changes I have made, and implemented, to my articles because of these eBooks have already paid for the books.
