As I mentioned in my introduction eHow Experiment post, I’ll be editing and improving 4 eHow articles a day in order to average $3 per article and make $339 or more per month for 113 articles. I plan to do this through maintaining a keyword density of 2-3% and using backlinking strategies.
My earnings on eHow per month have been steadily rising. In January 2010, I made $52.08 for the month. Every month after that, I made $57.85, $63.54, and $71.33. This month, with two days left until June, I’ve earned $78.58 so far. I should reach $80 by the end of the month. However, even $80 only gives me $0.70 per article a month. These earnings are pitifully low compared to what I should be earning according to Maria O’Brien’s eBook How to Earn Passive Income at eHow. So, I’m taking the initiative and stepping it up a notch.
In the past two days, I’ve worked on 8 articles: How to Stop Being a Junk Food Junkie, How to Stop Nail Biting Successfully, How to Finally Grow Long Nails, How to Cure Adult Acne Forever, How to Prevent Leukonychia Spots on Nails, How to Make College Friends, How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries Successfully, and How to Sue a Telemarketer.
So far only 3 articles out of the above 8 are ranking well on search engines. How to Stop Being a Junk Food Junkie has the first listing for “junk food junkie,” first listing for “eating junk food,” and fifth listing for “junk food.” With some backlinking, I hope to boost the listing for “junk food” up to the third spot.
How to Prevent Leukonychia Spots on Nails is listed third on the first page of Google with “leukonychia spots” but is on the second page with “leukonychia.” So, I need to backlink this article a little bit more than my junk food article.
How to Sue a Telemarketer is the last listing on the first page of Google for “sue a telemarketer” but no where to be found for “telemarketer,” so this article needs even more backlinking than the first two articles.
How to Stop Nail Biting Successfully, How to Finally Grow Long Nails, How to Cure Adult Acne Forever, How to Make College Friends, and How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries Successfully all need to be backlinked in order to get to the first page of Google for their keywords. I plan to backlink them a little on this blog, Yahoo Answers, forums, and other content websites. I’ll fill you in on their improvements, as well as the statuses of the eHow articles I’ll be working on for the next two days.

I’m catching up on your blog so excuse me for commenting so long after the fact but these blog posts should help your articles quite a bit as they are sending links back to eHow. Keep it up.

Thanks Brian,
That’s the idea. I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were holding up. Glad you’re still doing well.
