My first 77 cents

Once in awhile I get frustrated with BH stuff not working and I spend about half an hour on the other side. I will say one thing, it is the only profit I've ever had. However, eHow is the biggest waste of time that I've ever seen if you don't count the Bux systems.

Its been a little side project for the past month and I've made around 15 articles. I have profited 77 cents. But here is where it really doesn't make sense:

Article A:
Views: 55
Rating: 5-star
Revenue: $0.16

Article B:
Views: 30
Rating: NOT RATED
Revenue: $0.57

Basically this is eHow telling me that "we don't care how good your posts are or how many people visit them, we'll pay you what we want to pay you".

In conclusion: WhiteHat writers are just the slaves of BlackHat IMers

Wow, that sucks. Well, I've got a solution for you: leave e-how alone and come on over to AC. theres a thread in this section (that I'm sure you've seen because its one of the biggest threads in here) that shows you how to get money through AC and its quite simple. BTW, the thread is called "Made $30 from 2 articles" by redtide. And you should really read the thread because you can learn so much from redtide. He guides you by the hand and teaches you the techniques it takes to master AC. You can also use the things he teaches for other article submission sites .

Just check it out and you will soon forget e-how.

E-WHO?

I made an account on AC about a month ago (before i discovered BHW) and frankly I did not like the idea of editors poking and prodding at all my articles. That & the fact that I'm not the most incredibly interesting writer in the world. But since I've been on here and have learned about all the BS you guys get away with I'll give it a second look.

Thanks

honestly in my experience, the editors really do barely anything. either A. they accept the article and offer you a price for it, or B. they decline it and give you a generic reason why "There were too many spelling/grammar errors in your writing" etc, at which point you just edit and resubmit.

no harm no foul
