Learning, Earning and Changing
div>
I spent yesterday looking over my articles at eHow, and upon closer examination, I was just shock to see "How to Make Your Own Beef Jerky" has earned me around $17.00 since its creation on April 22nd, 2008!
This is my best earning article on eHow, and what funny about it, is: I had one comment, and only three stars! It was viewed 3,914 times! This was like a kick in the rear since I didn't burst my brain out to write it comparing to other articles.
Creative Common-Photo by Stefano AWhat is worst? I didn't use too many tags/keywords, nor promoted it! What a shame!
I edited 10 low-earning articles so far, adding links to my other articles at different websites, changing keywords, and adding categories. The things about keywords: I am still in the dark about what considers being the high paying keywords!
Personally, I don't like adding links to my own article, but taking these successful ladies' advices, I did! They are in the same category though, or related to the subject of the article!
I credit this endeavor to the Podcast ladies in my last post. There are so much to learn if you keep your ears and eyes out. Just be ready to absorb the information and apply it.
As I edit my eHow articles, I jump over to Associated Content, Helium, Hubpages, and Squidoo to look for similar post, or related category...Lord and behold: I earned a badge on Associated Content as "Top 1000 CP"! How can this be? What the heck is going on?

Well, I have to find out how I manage to earn this badge without being active on the site! This is how Associated Content explained it: "Our Top 100 & Top 1000 badges are awarded at the beginning of each year, to the Content Producers whose published work from the previous calendar year received the largest volume of page views. Content Producers must have published at least twelve pieces of content during the year in order to be eligible."
After the shock, a pleasant feeling creeps in! I sure can use some good news right about now. The beginning of this year has brought me nothing but headaches. Looking at these accomplishments somewhat ease the pain of life.
