I’ve taken a 6 month mental vacation and haven’t visited your blog for a while. It’s good to see that the information and debate is as lively and useful as ever….
I have to throw in my two cents and say that I don’t have a problem sharing revenue with the third party sites like eHow, especially when you are struggling to stay motivated when you are just getting going. I don’t have many articles on eHow, but I have to admit that I check my stats every day, just to see if I had any pennies rolling in….
As a person who bills hours evry day in my real job, I am absolutely fascinated by the concept of doing an hours work and then getting paid for that work over and over. Sweet.
Thanks for the great blog. It’s pure motivation for me.

[...] Family Income is breaking down his income goals into daily amounts. He’s made great progress already writing eHow [...]

@PFI lol. Ah, okay. I’ll still be posting articles as well, just not aiming to do the 100 Triond ones full-time for August as I originally intended. (BTW I think 10-20 eHows per month is pretty good going!! I’d be happy building up a decent portfolio at that rate.)

@Neil – No, I am still going strong with the 100 Article eHow challenge. My point was that I will be taking a break from eHow for a while after this month to focus on other income streams.

BTW – When I say “break”, I will still post 10 – 20 articles per month after August, but not the 100 that I am working on now.

I wish I could be a bit more focused sometimes. The whole ‘making money online’ thing is a huge area, so I kind of flit from one thing to the next, hopefully (as Corporate Barbarian said) figuring out ‘on the fly’ what works and weighting my efforts in that direction.

Actually, when you think about it, the third party platforms such as eHow, Squidoo, Triond, whatever are great ‘research and development’ tools. I always find that for every 10 articles/lenses I write, one of them gets the lion’s share of the traffic – so this gives a clue as to which things to focus new self-hosted ventures on (plus you get paid a little while doing the research!)

@PFI did you say you are concluding your 100 challenge then? After big confusion about images on Triond, plus some other research I did, I’m also moving to a slightly different (and experimental) project.
