eHow Experience: Day 26 - That's Just Life

It's been five days since I've given you an eHow earnings update so here's a quick update:
  • 125 articles
  • $14.62 total earnings
  • 8,045 views
My article writing pace has slowed dramatically and I'm not proud of it.

I've had a lot of distractions and other things going on outside of my eHow world but I guess that's just life.

Unfortunately, the time I'm able to commit to eHow isn't going to increase for at least another couple of days because I have family coming into town to stay with me and I really don't know when I'm going to find time to reach my Day 1 eHow goals.

I suppose the fact that I have other things going on in my life will make my experience more indicative of what the first 30 days on eHow will be like for most of my readers (you).

What's especially frustrating is that I really want to go through my existing eHow articles and put applicable affiliate links in my old articles where it's appropriate (see Day 25 post). I'm really excited to see how this new affiliate experiment turns out.

This seems like a really exciting opportunity to make significant extra income that could far exceed the dollar a day I'm currently pulling in from my eHow articles.

On the other hand, I do have a history of getting my expectations up too high when it comes to eHow experiments so again I'm going to remind myself to tone down these expectations.

  1. I figured you couldn't keep up that killer pace of article writing, nor should you have to. Stick with your plan of quality over quantity and you cant go wrong, it applies to blogs as well and has been my philosophy since figuring out what blogging is all about.

  2. Hey John, I don't care for people hyperlinking text within my comments. Anyone with any computer savvy will stop commenting if you continue this practice.

  3. GolfTrekker, let me start by saying I've enjoyed all of your comments immensely. Your insights and feedback have been extremely interesting and I appreciate you adding quality content to this site.

    With regards to the hyperlinking in the text it's randomly generating by Technorati (http://technorati.com/). Technorati is an independent advertising company that places contextual ads throughout the website. Although I gave Technorati permission to place ads throughout the site (as they see most profitable) where the ads are placed is out of my control.

    The contextual ads along with the Google Ads help allow me to keep this information freely available and encourages me to create addition useful (hopefully at least amusing) content .

    You make an excellent point though in that if the contextual advertisements are annoying my readers it's worth considering removing the ads (and revenue stream) altogether.

    Again, thanks for all of your input.
