And here it is, folks, the newest site for articles that doesn't seem to be a rip off like eHow...
INFOBARREL.com!
I just joined InfoBarrel ( http://www.infobarrel.com/signup.php?ref_id=5433 ), and I hope that anyone who stumbles along into my humble little blog will join up as well! I have only four articles posted there right now, but I can already see that they are much better put together than eHow.
I was not immune to this weeks eHow article sweeps. I only lost one, but it just pisses me off so much, because their reasons, when they even give them, are just so random! They told me this article was removed because it wasn't in How To form! How can you even post the article if it isn't in How To form????? I'm earning very little there anyway, so I may as well give Info Barrel a try.
These are the articles I have written for them at this point...

http://www.infobarrel.com/Understanding_the_Basic_Rules_of_Football
http://www.infobarrel.com/How_to_Make_Fish_Fun
Only one of these articles was written for another site, too. I tried to be original, because I think it will help me start writing more. There are so many different ways to write an article other than in How To form, so it will be nice to stretch myself a bit! I even made a few friends there, so now I just have to traffic my articles there instead of eHow and see what happens!
Hoping that this post finds all who read it happy and writing! Have a great day!

Excuses, Excuses!
We are all full of excuses aren't we? I have been lazy and I admit it. I have not written an article in a few weeks, and I am just riding out what I already have published, which is really an astonishing amount. I have 102 articles on eHow.com, and they are all earning every month, even if I don't work hard at it.
I really want to set a goal of getting 150 -175 articles on eHow by the end of the year. I think that would seal the deal on making a minimum payout every month there.
I also added a Hellium article onto the Traffic Swarm website to see if that would make a difference. So far I think it has made a big difference in my income on eHow, I usually go up about .50 a day and there are days when I only go in and rate few articles and return comments for a few minutes. It's nice that after all this time I begin to see the residual income side of this monay at home deal! I am not planning on quitting my job anytime soon, mind you, but every dollar these days helps to be sure!
As soon as I get going again, my articles will all be here for viewing pleasure, so please check them out and become a follower of my blog! I will certainly return the favor...

August is halfway done...
This has also been kind of a slow month, but I will definitely make payout on eHow, so I am happy about that! I can't wait for the kids to go back to school, so that I can get back to writing again! There aren't enough hours in the day.
When I started wring last December, I had no idea that I really could end up making money doing it! I didn't even know when I joined Web Colleagues that this was what I was going to be doing! I guess I really owe it to those guys that gave me the idea (and the eHow site) in the first place. I would totally recommend them, mainly for the help their course gave me on how to start a blog and all of the technical stuff that I learned in the process. I really could have been scammed, though, so anyone starting out really needs to be aware that most sites are just trying to get your money, at least in the beginning. Everyone wants to make money online, but it is much more time-consuming and difficult than people make it seem! Not to mention the marketing aspect!
Marketing my articles has been the hardest thing to learn, and it is the reason that I don't make a LOT of money doing this article thing. It takes time and effort to become a part of a community like eHow and Hellium, and you really have to keep up with it in order to get page views. This in and of itself takes time. I am glad to have been recommended to the Traffic Swarm site. http://www.trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?943843
Click on that link above and start getting more views for your eHow articles! I spend about 10-15 minutes a day clicking on other people's sites, and now that I have been doing it for about a month, I feel OK recommending the site to others without fear of it being a scam! My earnings have gone up, no doubt about it, so give it a try!!!
Hope this post finds you happy and earning big! Have a great day!

July was a bit slow...
I had a great time in July, but I cannot say I made what I consider to be my normal amout of money as far as online writing goes. I did not make my eHow minimum, but I only missed it by about a dollor, so I will most certainly get paid at the end of August. I will also perhaps make a little more from Hellium, I am still not sure how one gets paid there, but I do see my balance going up almost every week, and I don't even publish there very much.
I have found Hellium to be a good site, though. I like the way they are set up in the fact that you can search any subject, look at titles and get ideas for articles, even if they will be for another site! I never copy articles, mind you, but researching subjects is a great way to get ideas of my own!
I was really annoyed at eHow this past month, to be honest. I stopped writing for a few weeks after TWO of my article ideas were used by eHow Editors and ended up getting featured on the Home page. It was SOOOO obvious, too. I put up an article called How to Clear Out the Clutter and don't you know that one week later an eHow editor had an article about uncluttering your life, and it was featured????!!! I was mad, but not as mad when the next week I wrote and article named How to Plan Ahead and Eat Healthy and sure enough a few days later an eHow editor was featured yet again with an article called How to Plan Ahead and Eat Healthy!!!!!! I was so mad I stopped writing, but I did go back and just wrote a few new ones just to keep in practice.

So How is June turning out?
Well am thrilled to say that I have won another eHow contest! I have just found out that I won $75.00 for an article that I published on http://www.ehow.com/how_5080951_keep-gutters-clean-summer.html, so please feel free to check it out if you have time!
This has really been such an exciting time for me, and I think things are really going my way now. I have been doing a bit of reading up on how to be more inspired, and I went out and got a "vision board". If you have not read "The Secret", I would suggest going out and giving it a try. I am trying it now and I'm going to see how things work out. I have on my board a picture of the CUTEST little HP Netbook, and it has been told to me that if you envision somthing it will come to you. I'll let you know how it all works out, but in the meantime, back to writing...
Hope this entry finds all who read it happy and healthy!

Another nice surprise!
I really did not know if Hellium was going to pay off or not this month, but I was very pleasantly surprised two days ago when I checked my balance on a whim. Hellium has a payout minimum of $25.00, and it had taken about 3 months on eHow to start making a regular payout. My balance was $27.95!!! I have requested a payment, and I hope it ends up in Paypal soon!
EHow was a bit slow for me this month so far. I did enter another contest in the hopes of winning another $50.00, but I am not getting my hopes too high. It was a Home and Garden catagory contest, and I really don't have a lot going on in that category! The link to the article is in the eHow widget if you feel like looking, it is about How to Garden with your Child. I got nice responses, but we'll see. My balance on eHow is still below payout by a few dollars, but if I work at it and write an article or two more by the end of the month, I may make it. If not, I will just get a really nice payout next month, so no biggie once again!

What a nice surprise from eHow!
I was pleasantly shocked today when I went to my eHow earnings section! I knew that my earnings for April were $14.59, and that was a record month for me there by itslef, but little did I know that I also must have won a contest or something, because there was a completely seperate payment to my account in the amount of $50.00!!!!!!
I was so excited!!!
This now means that I made a serious record in earnings last month, everyone. I made a total of $71.38 from just the two websites that I work on consistently. (eHow and Associated Content)
I am not even sure that I will be able to duplicate that again, unless eHow knows something that I don't but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, to be sure. I'm taking my money and running!
I have also decided to start writing a new blog. The title is still to be determined, but I will most defiantly be writing about my other career as a waitress at Applebee's. I am enjoying working there, but the stress is high and I need to vent verbally every now and again! Once I have the site up I will post a link here.
Hope this post finds anyone who reads it well and making money from home!
