EHOW and Demand

As many of us know Ehow was recently acquired or is now apart of demand.com. I was very happy with EHows former structure and writing tools and had several published how-to articles available there to read. EHow allowed you to load your own photos and was nicely structured to allow easy writing of the articles. You did not however have control of the Ads on the site. Yet you did generate income from people visiting your site and clicking on the ads that appeared there.

Since the merger EHow is difficult to use and the common interface is gone or changed. Demand is a pain to write for their structure is writing entirely in MLA format citing everything as someone Else's idea even your own pictures are impossible to load. I have ceased writing for EHOW and Demand.com due to these limitations but my articles are still situated there for the time being.

You may like the structure however so I advise you to check it out your self or try HubPages a much more relaxed blogging type site where you can earn income much easier than at EHow or Demand the choice is yours.

HubPages.com

Another great site for writing articles and making money at the same time.

HubPages.com is my newest discovery for site that can generate you an extra income while allowing you to be creative with articles and blogging. The money is generated through AdSense, Amazon, and other ad companies who add the ad content to your blogs under your accounts.

While not a get rich quick site, you will see growth with every article you write. I love the blog like style of the site, plus the tools to write on the site are very blogger like. You can add your own photos, content, comments area, polls, and allot more page design is a little limited as are page choices but I'm still new there so I may be missing some customization options that are available.

There are a number of other ways to make money. One is by promoting other peoples pages. Not quite sure how it all works yet but i will update when i figure it out.

I suggest you stop by the site, read some articles, look at the options for you and maybe write an article or two and make some spare cash.

I'll write as soon as I get more familiar with it. Until then keep writing.
