eHow Experience: Day 27 - Three Most Important Things

At the start of my 27th day on Ehow I'm now at:

• 128 articles
• $15.51 in earnings
• 9,026 views

At the beginning of this journey the modest sounding (as it turns out ambitious) Day 1 goal of earning $20 in my first month on Ehow seemed like a nice round amount to make in my first 30 days. After all, the assumption is that this income will become passive. The idea is to simply write the articles on eHow, leave them alone, and collect royalties into perpetuity.

Now that this month is wrapping up I don't even want to think about what my measly eHow hourly earnings amount to. I haven't been keeping track of the amount of time I've spent on this project but I can assure you it's been substantial. I have to remind myself that with a project like this there's a lot of upfront work to pave the path for residual income down the road.

Despite the slow progress during month one I'm actually really confident that my second month on eHow will be extremely successful and it has little to do with continuing to pick up residuals from my existing articles.

It's the knowledge that I picked up during my first month on eHow that makes me confident that my second month will be exponentially more prosperous.

I can only imagine how much further along I would be right now with eHow if I would have had the benefit of coming across a resource like this when I first started. It would have almost literally saved me a month.

The three posts that I most wish I could have been exposed to on the first day I signed up for eHow are the Day 15 post (Google AdWords), Day 23 post (cost-per-click information), and the Day 25 post (affiliate link information).

Whether you came across this journal after being on eHow for one day or one year I hope you find this information helpful.
