Day 5 - eHow

Earnings in January $2.65

That's from eHow.

Last night I came up with a crazy scheme that I can use to make a living from eHow.

If $2 an article is the most I ever make, which I hope I make more than that but that's how well my first article did in one month, so just for the sake of argument we're making $2 an article every month.

So if you write 5 articles a day for 30 days that is 150 articles, which is $300. That's Month 1.

For Month 2, you wrote 150 more articles and earn $300. But you've also got the residual income from Month 1 still coming in on the first 150 articles articles. So now you've got 300 articles paying out in $600 in Month 2.

Month 3: $900
Month 4: $1,200
Month 5: $1,500
Month 6: $1,800
Month 7: $2,100
Month 8: $2,400
Month 9: $2,700
Month 10: $3,000
Month 11: $3,300
Month 12: $3,700

Only problem with this is I don't know for how long your articles can stay earning money, and how much money they will bring in over time. But it's an idea.

It's some real solid hope, which is much needed!

I've written six eHow articles, and two of them I wrote last night.

How to Lower Your Electric Bill
This one has done the best. I think it's the simplest and most direct and to the point. It's the first one I wrote for GoArticles, when I had no idea what I was doing. It always works like that at first, that's weird. You did better when you first tried it because you had no clue what anything was. Then you learn some things and for whatever reason you try and improve and then look back and see you did better before you analyzed it to no end. Analysis paralysis, as Lauren Reigh Lembcke calls it.

How to Cure a Sinus Infection: Sinus Infection Remedies
I changed the title and put two keywords in for a title. Looking at it now I should have probably just picked one, but we'll see what happens. This is the second best as far as attention its gotten.

How to Get the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)

If you made less than $42,000 last year you could qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC on your federal taxes, which means more money coming back.

Think you should get the EITC? Hold it right there! Like everything else government-related, you have to first find out if you qualify.

Here's how to qualify for the EITC.

How to Improve Circulation
Written this morning, this was a requested article.

How to Make Money Slangin' Goods and Services on CraigsList
I thought this was a good one. No keyword research at all. We'll see what happens to this baby.

How to Save Your Relationship by Staying in Love
The first article I wrote on eHow. I sent a lot of AutoSurf traffic there, and it's gotten a lot of hits (a few thousand) but it's only made like $0.23 so far.
