Still writing and taking surveys...

The cold days of winter are here and I have been busy writing and taking surveys in my spare time. After the kids are in bed, I take out my trusty computer and begin trying to work at home once again. Although I was pleased with my earnings from last year, I have much larger goals for this year.

Right now I am focusing on increasing my article library both on eHow and on Squidoo. I have Bukisa and Associated Content on the back burner right now, because they don't perform as well for me. My goal is to add affiliate links to many of my articles in an effort to increase my profits in the new year. I have not done a good job of this so far, but I will change that. I'm going to focus on the articles with the most search traffic first, and once those are done, I will add links to the other articles as well.

I also want to work on article marketing. I have not focused on this over the past year either but I think it's key to internet success.

Lastly, I plan to start a SiteBuildIt site as soon as I have the $300 saved to buy a year's subscription. I have a feeling that it would greatly help me in my work at home mom endeavors!

1 Year eHow Anniversay!

November 8th marked my one year anniversary of joining eHow and the 14th marks the anniversary of my first published article. It's made a whole $1.51 since then but at least it's something! Luckily, I was able to fine tune my writing endeavors as time went on and I have several articles that are doing rather well. I just wish they were all doing well!

I have high hopes and goals for my eHow articles. I really want to continue writing and adding more articles on a consistent basis. I have been devoting most of my time to other sites and have left eHow in the dust over the last few months. I do plan, however, to try harder and return to this site which I know can pay off eventually. Here's to a more productive second year on eHow!

How to Make Money on eHow

I am promoting a well known ebook on how to maximize your earnings on eHow. With this easy how to guide, you can potentially earn hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars per month writing quick how to articles on eHow. The book is written by one of eHow's top earners. She makes over $1,000 per month on eHow and her book clearly spells out exactly how she does it. I recently bought the book myself and have personally seen my eHow earnings increase as a result. Give it a try, it's definitely worth the $25 if you have any interest in getting paid to write. This is the perfect work at home job, especially for stay-at-home moms!

Busy Building My Article Library

I've taken a little break from blogging over the past couple of weeks to spend time with some out of town relatives and to work on building up my article library. I hope to begin adding more info soon regarding my success with various income generating online avenues. I have been focused on eHow recently and am happy to report that my income steadily increases each month. I do plan to buy an ebook about increaing my eHow earnings in the near future, so that I can truly get the most out of the site. I have found limited success with my own venture into finding proper keywords to use in my articles. I would like to know more about search engine optimization. I am new at all this, and although there is plenty of free information available, it's scattered here, there and everywhere making it difficult to piece together. Thus the need to read a concise book about the matter. I'll let you know if it helps.
