eHow Experience: Day 10 - Unrealistic Goals

eHow statistics after ten days are:
  • $2.85 in total earnings,
  • 955 views (hope to break the 1,000 mark tomorrow),
  • 43 articles, and
  • 16,630 points (for what's it's worth)
As expected the financial progress is moving pretty slowly.

My original goal was to publish 150 articles in my first month on eHow (see Day 1 Post) and now a third of the way through the month I'm behind schedule by 14%. I attribute being behind schedule to all of my eHow articles being removed on Day 5 (see Day 5 Post).

I now need to publish 17 new articles in the next two days (8.5 a day) or 23 articles in the next three days (7.67 a day) to get back on pace of averaging five articles a day.

Unfortunately, getting back on path with my financial goal of $20 in my first month (see Day 1 Post) is going to be more difficult. I'm 57% behind schedule and unlike the published article shortfall I don't know what I can do to make my eHow articles make more money. It doesn't look like hoping really hard works because I've already been doing that.

Maybe I set an unrealistic monetary goal. Only time will tell.

I think you set too fast a pace for yourself but I am reading your posts in chronological order and have not yet discovered if you still like ehow or not. I just started with it and it seems a bit spammy to me on the "friends" side and the articles seem a bit incomplete and a bit too general for my taste and interests which are primarily making money on the internet legitimately and honestly. This means hard work, patience and dedication, most of which people don't have much of.
