Then I found this site called Ehow. Ehow, is basically a site where you can write about anything you wanted to. Whatever is on your mind you can write about it (probably not about porn or any X-rated topics though). The catch is, it has to be in a 'How to" format. So basically, you write something where someone gains knowledge on any topic you have some kind of expertise in. You could write "How to make a 3 cheese Omelette," "How to stop being nervous on a date," "How to shave your Armpit Hair," etc. Anything you want to write about, and can put it in a how to format, you can post on Ehow.
There submission format is very easy to use as well as fast. You can choose to write about a topic or do video. The site than will automatically post it (no waiting periods like associated content) for all the world of Internet users to see. The good thing about Ehow is that shows up very high on search engines. You may be surprised to see how many Ehow articles pop up if you are looking for how to do something.
I checked out the forum, which is almost like a great community, and they have a lot of helpful hints and ideas about making more money from the site. The owners of the web site are very interactive with there member and do several contests every few months. They winners of the contests (which there are no limits of how many people can win) receive up front money (the last one people received about 100 dollars) and a gift (the last gift I saw was a free reusable grocery bag with the EHOW label on it) from the team. There are probably thousands of members on the site with probably a handful of "EHOW Stars." These basically are people who are the high earners (earning anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 dollars or more) on the web site. Some of the members even sell ebooks on there own personal web site that help people earn the best money online at Ehow. I have not yet bought any of them but I will (maybe).
I have been apart of Ehow since January 2009 and have only been heavily posting Ehow articles in May 2009. I had around 400 articles by the mid of June and my daily earnings have been going way up. Back in January through April, I would only get a couple cents here and there every week. But as of mid June 2009 my earnings have gone up to $3.50 a day. Now Ehow is a bit secretive on how you earn your income but it is basically on how many people click on the ads on your article page. The best part is, those earnings will only stay the same or go up from there. The high earnings make an average of $30 to $40 a day. Now even if I or those high earners stop posting they will still reach that $30 to $40 a day average. Now if that is not passive income, tell me what is.
I have also just recently been posting on a site called Bukisa. It is fairly new as of June 2009 so the owners are going through a lot of changes and with page rankings but it is an amazing site. It kind of works like Ehow except you are paid for how many page views you get. There is something on the site called a Bukisa Index and this is how they base there payments on the site. Say the index is 5 dollars, so that means every 1,000 page views you get you will receive 5 bucks. So the object of Bukisa is of course to get the most traffic (visitors) to your articles. They pay you on a monthly basis (like Ehow) through paypal (like Ehow). There are quite a few Bukisa articles appearing on the 1st page of search engines now (including my articles) so it is getting much better in terms of ranking. You should sign-up with Bukisa and Ehow to start making passive income from writing online.
I said that I would start bookmarking to earn even more money online. Lately, I have been using Xomba's Xomblurbs to really start getting some backlinks and earn more pageviews. In earning more pageviews I have the opportunity to earn more money online. I have been bookmarking a lot of my eHow articles lately. I hope to see a slight increase in earnings as I bookmark more of the articles. I want to have my eHow articles bookmarked on both Xomba and Redgage. This can help me have a backlink, earn more page views, make more money from eHow and make money online from social bookmarking. I will make money either way. It really is a win/win situation.
