I was wrong! Not the first time, either.
Desolator's book is free!
I now have all three books here on this page, so if you are interested you can buy them from here, or download Desolator's.

David Sarokin
The other name that I was trying to remember, the one on ehow who is a top earner, his name is David Sarokin. Check his articles out as well.
How it;s Worked for Me!
How it;s Worked for Me! Since I have read all three of the books that I mention in another post on this page, my earnings are increasing every day. I applied a lot of what I learned from reading these, so now instead of the earnings being stagnant, day after day, they are growing each day. Now I am concentrating on writing more and more articles, as the odds increase for more earnings, the more articles you have. Again, you won't be sorry if you purchase these, and I am not making any money for recommending them. I just truly believe they include valuable information, that every writer at eHow should know. And then like me, set back and start seeing your earnings increase.

Finding friends
If you want to add more friends, you can go to community, and members and click on their Avatar, and go to their site. Click on add friend. But then be sure that you click on their articles tab, and RRCR at least one of their articles. It is the fair thing to do, plus, when you read their profile, you might not want to be their friend,. This is not likely, as there are so many nice people writing for eHow, but it is possible.
Your Article Page
Did you know that on your article page, you can scroll down past the 5 featured articles, and you will see at the top of your articles the divisions of:
feature date title views rating earnings
You can double left click on any of these, and they will change the order of your articles to reflect what you clicked on.
Like date, double click on it, and the order will change showing the most current articles, double click again and it will show the oldest articles first.
Click on views and it will first show the least views to the most views; click again and it changes to the most views to the least views.
Same with rating and earnings.
You can see just which articles are getting the most views, and whether they are making any money.
You may need to go back in to some of them and change the title, or add more key words.
There are a couple of free places that you can find which key words are viewed or asked for the most.
The first one is: Google Key Words. You type in a word or a phrase, and it shows you which key words work best.
The other one is: WordTracker.
Type either one of these in the address bar, and you should find them. Bookmark or put in your favorites, and you will have it close when you need it.
Also, did you know that while you are on the publishing page, you can go to another tab, or click on file, and it will give the option of opening a new window. This allows you to go back and forth between the two, maybe checking for key words or looking for your pictures, without losing your publish page. It won't work though, after you have hit "Publish".

Include Links!
The recommended links at the bottom of the publish page, should have links that relate to the article. The way that I get mine, is when I am looking for pictures at photobucket.com, I look at the ads surrounding the pictures, and they always refer in some way to the pictures. I just copy them and include them on my published page. This way, people may click on these to find more information about your subject. It keeps them on your page a little longer, and tempts them to click on the ads.
Also, if you have written another article that ties in with the article you are now writing, include your link to that other article.
But you may also enter the key word of your article in the address search line on your browser, and find lists of sites that relate to your subject.

Recommendations!
There are several writers at eHow who have written books, and can tell you the ins and outs of ehow, much better than I can.
First is Writergig, she has a book that you can buy for $25, but then sign up as an affiliate, and recommend others, and you will be paid $12.50.
Next is Janet Ford, she also has a book that costs $20.
The next is Desolator, who also has a book that I believe costs $20.
There is another man, but I can't remember his name at the moment. He is one of the highest paid writers with eHow. I will try to find out his name and post it another time.
But I have them all, and every one of them are excellent reads. They cover a lot of ground, and with slightly different opinions, but you would need to weigh which one you agree with.
You will not be sorry for getting any one of them.
You can buy 2 of them on my other blog, http://shirleyslog.blogspot.com, but I will work on getting them on this blog as well. The one says 20 ways to make money, I think. The other says e-junkie. But check some of their articles out. Just enter their name under member search, and you should be able to find them.
I highly recommend all three of them. They all taught me a lot.

I have started a group on eHow, called Milestones. It is intended to be a group where you can post your own milestones, and also read others milestones.
A milestone could be 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, or whatever articles you have written. It could also be; "I finally made $10!" Or I am making $1000 each month. I believe we are all curious about this, for it gives us all hope, that someday we may be making that much. Proves that it is possible.
To join the group, go to communties, and it is listed on the first page that opens as a brand new group. Later you should still be able to find it under groups, and search.

Windows Live Writer
There is a free program at Windows.com, called Windows Live Writer. It gives a lot more options for typing an entry into a blog. It will highlight link/key words in the post, with a gadget called, I believe, Zehara. You can add hyperlinks, quotes, pictures, tables, and on and on. It could also be used for eHow articles, with copy and paste, and then rearranging into the different steps.

What is eHow?
I have only been writing for eHow for about three months, but during that time I have learned a lot,
and continue to learn.
When I started I did not understand how you were going to get paid, or why you were paid in the first
place.
I understand a lot more now, and I would like to pass on what I have learned in the sincere hope that
a new writer can understand the process quicker, and get down to the most important part - writing!
How you are paid
Vistitors to ehow are looking for advice on how to do something. If you have written an article that
answers their question, they will click on your article to check it out. So far, you are not paid
for this. When you first wrote your article, ads were put with your article that pertains in some way
to that article's topic.
So, after the visitor reads your article, and it was helpful, hopefully they will look all around at
the various ads and links, and will click on them to get further information. Now you get paid!
It is a portion of a portion of what eHow is paid for listing the ad, but nevertheless, it does add
up. Especially if your article is found by visitors and what you have written has interested or helped
them. They may even check out some of your other articles, or if you have listed another of your
articles that pertain to the same subject, they may click on it as well.
But, in order for your article to even be listed, Google's search engines has to be able to easily
recognize what the article is about, and it does this in two ways. First with the title of the article.
The title needs to describe exactly what the subject is, in as few words as possible. And this brings
me to the second thing that the search engine is looking for - key words.
In your opening description box, you need to include the title's descriptive words here, and also
within the individual steps. But don't go overboard with this. The better your key words are the more
likely that the SE will figure out what the article is about, and place you in a good spot to be
found by visitors.
Photos in your article
Photos are important, and eHow awards more points for more photos, however, this does not make you
any more money, and neither does your amount of friends. However, in a less tangible way, these do help
in your popularity. The more popular your articles are the more the SE will notice. They also notice
the comments made, in the sense that a lot of comments is a good thing.
There are several places on the internet to find quality photos to add to your articles. The ones I am
listing are free; you just have to sign up with them.
My favorite is:
photobucket.com
I go there and type in the search box what I am looking for, let's say I am looking for towels; pages
and pages of photos come up that pertain to towels. You can type in a phrase as well, such as, I am
so happy, and bingo there are references to this!
You see the one you like, left click and it goes to a screen showing just the one you clicked on. The
easy way to do it for me, is to right click on the photo, a menu comes down and I click on "Save As"
which brings up the place on your computer that pictures are stored, or you can start a new place, by
clicking on new file. Anyway, there are several options, but let's just say you have the photo where
you want it, and you click "Save".
Now when you are writing your article, and see the place to add an image, click the browse, and your
photo place comes up, scroll to find the one you want, left click and it will be uploaded to your
article.
A few other places to find photos are:
dreamstime.com
freeFoto.com
freerangestock.com
freedigitalphotos.com
I will continue in another post. Follow me on the blog, and you will receive updates.
Hopefully, this has been helpful enough to get you started. There is still more to learn.
