E-How Contest
For those of you who are good at giving instructions, e-How is having a contest. e-How is a free social community site where “the people”, both professionals and non-professions, provide the content with “How-to” articles on everything you can imagine and always shows up in one of the top spots on a Google search. If you join the e-how Writer Compensation Program, it pays on a per article basis and on the amount of times the article gets viewed and rated. (But it’s a slow process.. so realize that without this contest, for most people, money will not be rolling in with e-How!) There is no limit to how many articles each author can submit to e-How and remember, with “How-to’s” the sky’s the limit on subject matter! If you can think it, chances are someone else needs to know how to do it… so get thinking!
The Contest–Started April 30, 2008 and continues until June 30, 2008. Write an article (or several if you got it in you, cuz “the more the merrier” and the better your chances!) During this period, each time e-How selects an article that you have written, you will receive $10, so it’s not going to break the bank, but it can be a fun way to get published online and the more articles you write the more money you can make. You can also spice it up by adding photos or video to your article which, of course, always makes a “How-to” easier to understand and follow if there are step-by-step instructions with photos.
This contest has potential to bring in a little extra cash, but more importantly, I think it’s a great way for anyone to get their feet wet with web publishing and may even inspire some to really find their niche. After all, the quickest path to success is to know what you are good at and then share that information and knowledge with others, so this can be good practice. Good luck, and have fun if you try this! Please drop a comment if you are aware of any other on-line contests or promotions that MCB should know about. Thanks! JJ
