Residual Income and eHow

I've never liked the term 'passive income'.

To me, passive income implies something for nothing and very few (if any) income streams, in my opinion, are truly passive. All require a certain amount of work and effort to set up and usually to maintain as well.

However, I love the term 'residual income'.

Residual income is the idea that you perform the work once and it continues to pay you long after the fact. Think of the sitcom actor who earns income each time his or her show is shown in syndication. Or the insurance agent who continues to earn commissions each time a policy is renewed.

Residual income is the beauty of eHow.

The internet is full of places that will pay you a few bucks for some writing. But at eHow you can continue to earn income on an article long after it is written and published. As long as your article continues to draw traffic and ad revenue, you'll be paid.

I know of one writer on eHow who has developed a healthy income stream and was relieved that she had that to rely on after a recent surgery. That's the power of residual income.

Welcome to Write for eHow

I've been actively online for almost fifteen years now. Mostly I surf sites and perform research. I've also participated in my share of community forums.

In 2006 I discovered blogging and became immediately obsessed with this new way of expressing myself and connecting with others.

And less than five months ago I discovered eHow.

eHow is a site that is a perfect match for the way I like to write. I like researching and information-gathering. I like putting down what I know on paper (or on the screen) in a logical, sequential way. I like making lists and cataloging things.

I also like making money. And eHow allows me to do that too by sharing in the ad revenue that my articles bring in.

I know whenever I am embarking on a new endeavor, I seek out others who have done the same thing. With that in mind, I am starting this blog as a journal of my experiences writing for eHow, as well as a catalog of eHow tips and tricks I learn along the way.
