eHow Ends Writer Compensation Program and Offers to Buy Your Articles

Recently, you may have received an email titled:

Important news about your articles on eHow.com‏

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The email goes into detail about how eHow has decided to end the writers compensation program (WCP) and offer to pay you for your articles.

Read the main part of the email from eHow here (my notes are in blue):

“After much consideration, eHow has decided to close the WCP and remove a number of user-generated articles from the site beginning May 5, 2011. (Yet another email from eHow telling me that more of my articles will be removed. I usually cringe when I see an email from eHow in my inbox. It is almost always bad news.)

Now, what’s exciting for YOU is that we are extending attractive offers to a select group of great writers to purchase the articles they’ve written for eHow so that those articles can be vetted through our current editorial process, which includes professional fact checking and copy editing. Needless to say, your great work has put you in this special category! (How much is their “attractive” offer? Well, it’s not too attractive if you compare it to what you would make if they just kept your articles online; earning money each month. They offer you an amount which is equal to a few months of your regular eHow commissions. Then they are done with you. They pay you off and take the rights to your articles. You can no longer use those articles or receive commissions from them.)

Beginning today, your WCP console will have the details of your offer. The offer includes the purchase price of your articles, which is based on historical earnings. You will have until May 31, 2011 to accept our offer. (After May 31, the offer may self-destruct.)

 By accepting our offer you are agreeing to sell all the rights of your articles to us.  We would own the articles from that point on, and will have the ability to review and revise them to ensure they meet our editorial standards. Following the acceptance of the offer, you will receive three payments: one for regular earnings paid in June for money earned from May 1-5, and two equal installments for your buyout offer, which will be paid by June 15 and July 15, 2011 via PayPal. However, if you choose to decline the offer you will receive your last WCP payment for money earned from May 1-5 by June 15, 2011. (Along with your commissions, if you sell them the rights to your articles, they are free to change or delete any affiliate links you have added and any links to your websites that you have established.)

If you agree to sell your articles, we ask that you immediately remove the articles from any other sites that have published them. If you decline the offer, articles will begin to be removed from eHow.com. However, you will retain complete control of all the content you have written and will continue to have rights to publish them anywhere. Additionally, if you choose not to accept our offer, you’ll have an opportunity to retrieve your articles from us between May 17th and May 31st, if you wish to retain them for your records. Further details for article retrieval will be shared through your WCP console. (So it seems like a lose/lose situation for the hard-working writers of eHow. They do give you a bit of money, but overall, it is nothing compared to what you would have continued making with the monthly income stream commissions.)

We truly value your contributions to eHow and know that the site would not be what it is today without people like you.” (Yes, that is true. eHow would not be what it is today without us writers. They do need us, and they need our articles. Think of how much effort you have spent writing your articles. eHow knows how much money your articles make for them every month. When they own your articles free and clear, think of how much more money they are going to be making every month.)

As eHow writers, we can continue to earn our monthly commission checks and keep the WCP (Writers Compensation Program) running. BUT, WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER.

If we sign a petition to boycott the sale of our articles and demand to keep the WCP program running as usual, then eHow will be forced to listen to the people. They won’t be able to continue the eHow site or making money without the writers’ articles.

Afterall, the whole idea behind eHow was to make a site in which normal people shared “how-to” info with other normal people. The idea was never to have a big company like Demand Studios buy off the individual eHow writers and edit or change their articles to generate more money for the big company.

So if you agree to keep the eHow WCP (Writers Compensation Program) running as usual and not to be bought off by Demand Studios, then express your freedom of speech, and please post your opinion below.

Investing In Tax Certificates - The ONLY Guide You Need.

Creating Wealth Without Risk by Steven E. Waters has be ranked by our readers as the #1 recommended guide for Investing in Tax Certificates and Tax Sales.

 

The Creating Wealth Without Risk review by our readers:

“It’s a much needed, hands-on guide to investing in tax certificates.”

“Creating Wealth Without Risk has taken the guess work out of tax sale investing. I just followed what Steve said, and it actually worked.”

“I honestly haven’t used Steve Water’s other programs such as: “The Mailbox Millionaire” or the “Tax Free Returns” program, but the “Creating Wealth Without Risk” program is a gem. Highly recommended.”

“I just got the program, and I’m hoping it’s not a waste of my time. But for the price, I figured it’s worth a try. There aren’t many guides out there to show you how to buy tax liens.”

Increase Blog Traffic Today!

Learning how to increase Targeted Blog traffic and watch it continue to increase is fairly simple if you know what you’re doing. This guide will show you a few specific tips of what to do to increase Targeted Website traffic to your blog.

1. Most important, if you want to increase Targeted Website traffic to your blog, you must have content on your website. If you already have content on your website, you can move ahead to step 2. If you have no content, you will need to write 3-5 articles related to your website or blog. Short articles are fine, they only need to be around 250 words or more. At first, you just want some content posted. You don’t have to make it perfect, you can always go back later and add to or edit your content. It’s key to get some info posted so that Google will index your website or blog and give you a good page rank. Be sure your articles are relevant to your web site’s topic. If you need ideas for new articles, visit:
http://www.ezinearticles.com/search/
and type your blog topic into the search. It should return many related article results. DO NOT COPY these articles, only use them for reference, and write articles in your own words. Just read the article, and write 3 or 4 small paragraphs to summarize what you just read.

2. After you have some unique articles already written, you can start to increase blog traffic. Go to:
http://www.bukisa.com/join/4006

There’s no cost to sign up. Here you will submit your content, article by article to Bukisa. This site has many benefits for your blog. It will automatically within 24 hours, increase website traffic to your blog. Your web site’s traffic will continue to increase. You will get paid every time anyone looks at your article, and you will establish several quality backlinks to your blog. This in turn will boost your ranking on the best search engines.

3. After signing up, go to:
“Submit Content”

 

You are able to submit articles, slides, videos, and audio from your website. You can earn extra money for all of this content you submit. Every time someone visits your content, you will earn money. Be sure to add accurate tags and keywords to your articles and content, so visitors can find your content.

4. At the end of your content, be sure to add a backlink to your blog. For every articles and content that you submit with a link back to your blog, it will generate more traffic to your blog. It will also increase your page ranking on Google. The more quality back links you have, the easier it is to increase blog traffic. Bukisa ranks very high on Google ranking, in effect, if you have a lot of links from Bukisa linking back to your blog, Google will recognize this and start to bump up your Google page ranking. For example, it might easily move up your page ranking on the search results from page 5 up to page one.

How to Write an Article and Make Some Money

This is one of the simplest and quickest ways that I’ve found to make money online.

The idea is straight forward.
You write some short article about anything you are interested in and submit it.
When people view your article, you get paid.
You receive residual income everyday from your articles.

If you already have some original articles that you have previously written, you can submit those and make money. You can also submit video clips, power point slides, and audio.

One of the best places to submit all of these items and write articles to make money is on Bukisa. You basically write short “How to” articles, and as I said, you will make money everyday, every month when someone visits your information.The articles don’t have to be long. Only a few sentences and informative.

I easily make over $100 every month for articles that I wrote months ago. The best part about it is that I’ve already finished the work (writing articles), and I continue to get paid every month without doing anymore work. I definitely recommend you give it a shot! It’s one way to quickly make money online without much effort.

Start submitting articles and making money with Bukisa.
