Home Based Work Opportunity

eHow.com, which is owned by Demand Studios, is a good writing site, especially if you enjoy writing in the “how to” format and if you are seeking residual income (as opposed to up front pay for articles). I mention this fact right at the start of this post because if you want to write in a variety of different formats, or if you really do not care to write “how to” articles that include a step by step approach to specific tasks, you may want to look elsewhere.

Read as many articles about how to write for ehow as you can find because doing so may save you headaches later. Articles that are not written in the how to format or that do not conform to other writing guidelines laid out by the site can (and very well might) get deleted by the powersthat be at the site. For this reason it behooves you to learn the rules (and adhere to them) right from the get-go of your eHow writing career.

There are a lot of veteran eHow writers whose work you may want to read because they are knowledgeable about what eHow is looking for and reading their tips, articles and forum posts can save you lots of time and heartache. Some of these eHow vets include WriterGig and Janet Ford (both of whom have written eHow how to books that they sell on their own websites), David Sarokin (who has written numerous articles as well a a FREE report on how to write for eHow). There are others that are well worth checking out as well. Visit the eHow forums, which are open to the public, because there is a lot of free and helpful information to be found there.

If you start writing there, be sure to join the Writers Compensation Program right away so that you can earn residual income (also known as passive income) from publishing your articles on the eHow site. Also, please note that if you do not already have one, you will need to set up  a PayPal account in order to receive payments from the Writers Compensation Program of eHow.com
