Smart Passive Income #233 - eHow et al ... continued

This blog moved to a new location, please visit us at http://ramble.m2m.at.
 
Pat revisits the "eHow" topic ... writing for revenue sharing web sites ...

Why should you write for others when you could use your own blog?

  • You are not limited to a certain topic ... your own blog should target a certain topic and not cover everything from knitting to quantum physics ...
  • You only have to provide the content ... the rest like maintaining the blog, adding affiliate links, advertisements, is covered by the provider ...
  • You are not alone ... there is a community which might be able to provide some support, and the site will already have traffic to send visitors to your articles ...

Pat has also some advise on what to consider when choosing a site:

  • Check the website traffic (amount and trend) ... it's useless to write for a site nobody is reading ... that would be no different than starting a completely new blog ...
  • Check the revenue sharing model ... what do you earn when for doing what ...
  • Check the analytics provided by the provider ;) ... does the provide tell you what you earn when for which content, which article performs best, ...
  • Check the copy right model ... do you retain the rights to your articles?
  • Are you allowed to place your own affiliate links?
  • Are you allowed to place backlinks to your own sites?
  • What's the community and the stuff like?
