On the web, eHow occupies the top spot on how to do just about anything. You can any write about anything, like roof-top gardening, growing tomatoes, ironing clothes etc. Articles on job searching, food, health and hobbies tend to attract many readers. Normally such topics are typed into Internet search engine. Write on family life, relationships, pet care, running home and such other things.
eHow is structured to give practical instructions to web users on how to perform everyday tasks. For example, theoretical articles on the differences between PCs and Macs are not meant for this site.
To be a successful contributor to eHow you must acquaint yourself with the community boards to get an idea of the subjects tackled, the language and style they use and how the articles are laid out.
Strictly follow the guidelines of the website. eHow wants how-to pieces that too in step-by step format. It recommends four steps, but you can go up to 10 steps if that makes the text easier to understand. You should be able to sustain the interest of your readers so that they make clicks on the ads alongside your article. Without clicks you won't earn.
Write for eHow using the search engine optimization (SEO) style. You must have the basic understanding of SEO. It is a methodology for putting keywords and keyword phrases in the body of the article and in the keyword field on the last page of the site's article submission process.
Remember that you cannot strike it rich over night. eHow is a revenue sharing website. You have to write many articles to make meaningful earnings.
