Passive Income eHow Updates – November (2009)

in Passive Income Results

Another month has passed and it is time to report my passive income earnings that have been generated from eHow. Last month was a trying time as a member of eHow, with the fallout from the article sweeps that were conducted. I was fortunate enough to have only lost 3 articles and had backed up my copies to use elsewhere. Hopefully all that is behind us now with the recent changes implemented at eHow to pre-screen members submitted articles.

I actually took most of the month off from eHow in order to focus on building other passive income streams, such as Info Barrel. I only found time to publish 2 new articles during the month and had my first monthly decrease in earnings.

Here is my monthly recap.

November Updates

The month of November was a slow month for me publishing articles on eHow. It was also a month that brought my first ever decline in monthly earnings. I saw a (9.3%) decrease in earnings compared to October. Was my drop in income due to the article sweeps carried out by eHow? I honestly don’t believe so as I only lost 3 articles, of which 1 earned any kind of income. I actually saw a big drop in daily earnings during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend which threw off my monthly numbers.

Here is the breakdown of my eHow earnings from the past 15 months -

  • November (2009)
    • Earnings – $230.28
    • Articles Published – 2
  • October (2009)
    • Earnings – $253.84
    • Articles Published – 4
  • September (2009)
    • Earnings – $223.79
    • Articles Published – 12
  • Year #1
    • Earnings – $656.48
    • Articles Published – 224

GRAND TOTAL (15 Months)

  • Earnings – $1,364.39
  • Articles Published – 242
  • Articles Deleted from eHow – 13

Are you looking for a free way to start increasing your income? If so, eHow is one option that allows you to accomplish this goal. There are people just like you earning over a $1,000 each month on a recurring basis just by writing “How To” articles. If you are new to eHow, one place to start is by checking out a great resource called – How to Earn Passive Income on eHow.com: Maximize Your Online Earnings. I purchased this resource several months ago and have made my money back within the first month using the guidelines laid out.

100 Article eHow Challenge – November Results

Back in August I conducted the 100 Article eHow Challenge, where I had a goal to accelerate my earnings to the next level. I didn’t end up finishing 100 articles, but published a respectable 72 instead. To show how successful this challenge has been and what it has meant to my eHow earnings, I have decided to track the results each month.

Here are my earnings from the 100 Article eHow Challenge -

  • August – $119.48
  • September – $113.95
  • October – $75.47
  • November – $73.45

Total Earnings – $382.35

As you can tell, my monthly earnings from this challenge have dropped each month since they were published. I believe that overtime these earnings will start to rise once the articles have been published for several months.

Final Thoughts

Ever since I completed the 100 article challenge back in August, I haven’t written very much new material for eHow. Over the next several months, I plan to step it up a little and increase my eHow earnings by 100% (or a little more now). The goal is to earn $500 per month in sustainable income through eHow. In order to hit my target, I will be spending more time writing for eHow again!

Did you see a drop in your eHow earnings this past month?

Strangest thing happened to me. The three articles I had lost in the october sweep ended up coming back. I don’t know if they’re back for good or just another eHow glitch. I guess I shouldn’t look the proverbial “gift horse” in the mouth.

Did anyone else have articles return?

@Reed – Sounds like a system glitch. It seems that eHow has plenty of them with their system. I still have discrepancies showing up in some of my earnings from several months ago.

Hi John,

Just found your blog here. It’s great to see the income breakdown per month from your eHow articles. I JUST started my blog last week and will be publishing my first report tomorrow. Hope you drop by, and I will add you to my blogroll as soon as I have time to update it.

Keep up the good work!

Wow! Nice income you’ve got there. Is eHow applicable to writers from our country Philippines? I bet I can write well for eHow just as I used to write in my blog.

Anyway, nice income report there. Truly passive income.

@Millionaire Acts – Thanks. No, eHow is only available to writers in the US. I think they have opened it up to those in the UK but am not completely sure.

Millionair Acts,

I believe only people in the US will get paid for writing on eHow. Actually, here it is: http://www.ehow.com/about_us/faq_ehow.aspx#q61

Your ehow Articles came back? That’s a new one. Ehow is a great idea but the publishing software is awful. I just wish they could get their act together.
