My Ehow this week

I'm really annoyed that Ehow doesn't offer an RSS feed of members' articles. See my sidebar---------> Those are my article feeds from most of the sites I write for. I can't promote my ehow articles, though because they don't have a feed. They have a comment feed. I think that's kind of lame. Maybe I can use that. No because each article has their own comments, and I can't subscribe just to MY comments. I wish the people at ehow would explain to me why they don't offer article feeds. Maybe it's some kind of genius I can't comprehend. i doubt it. Not that I'm a genius, but I with ehow had RSS feeds, OK. Get with the current century, thank you.

Anyhow- I've been writing three a day since I bought the ebook mentioned HERE and here they are, as of this morning (haven't finished one yet today)

Sorry about the crazy formatting, I wasn't planning to enter them individually and this is how they've turned out. We need a widget or something, can you tell I'm annoyed about this! (ooh- I even had to update the coding, this is way too much work to promote articles. ATTENTION EHOW- I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

apparently you have to scroll down... a LOT and I'm really not sure why.

Enjoy the trip

Ehow is my newest exciting thing

OK , so after reading all of the hype, I went ahead and ordered Maria's Ebook, How to Earn Residual Passive Income on Ehow. OMG- it is really a fantastic e-book. She so very clearly simplifies the process and tells you the very best way to go about earning from the get-go. I already had an ehow account, and it wasn't doing that much. After I read her ebook, I decided to use her proven ideas and open a new account, following her guidelines.

From the get-go, I have earned more using her techniques than I was earning on my own. She is a genius. I didn't even know you could do .... certain things.... on ehow. If I say them I'll be spilling her fantastic ideas, but let's just say that they work. So I will now be publishing 3 ehow articles a day for the next few months.

I was able to use her techniques on other sites as well, and you'll see me writing more Suite101 articles now, too.

Anyhow- I highly recommend you get her ebook if you're wirting on ehow, instead of sitting around waiting to figure these things out for yourself. I noticed a difference within hours of implementing her first idea. HOURS- I hadn't even finished writing my first article yet. AND- this morning, using her techniques, I was able to publish my three articles before lunch time. So- try it, you'll like it.

When the weekend is over, I can't wait to show you the screen shots. I am jaw-dropped amazed.

Never bid on crap like this, OK

Hello,

How are you today? Please I will like you to go to article directories and pick up 1,000 articles each for topics relation to "motivational quotes" and "dating".

I will like you to present each of the 1,000 articles to me in MS Word files.

I have attached a format. You will notice that the titles are presented on top and that each new article starts from a new page.

Do kindly ensure that no two articles are the same. This is important.

How long will it take you to complete this project?

Chinedu

This person wants all these articles COPIED (stolen) for less than $30. For less than 3 cents a piece. After RAC fees, you'd be getting around $20. For all that. Ridiculous, isn't it.

Freelance Writing Jobs Blog Talk Radio

You can hear the show here and there were a lot of leads and the Amazing Shannan was interviewed, the show was really cool. It was neat to hear the voices of ladies I know online. Ihope you enjoy the show, too!

She mentioned Suite 101 (back when they paid their writers) I made over $150 last month, and each month is higher than the month before. The workload never changes, it's always about 4 hours a month, and the pay goes up each month. So disregard what she said about that.

The show, though was great, I need to listen to the whole thing, and you might, too.

Twitter Funnies

Twitter has a feature that allows users to make favorites of tweets they like, I just don't see the point, but I've been doing it anyways. Here are my favorite tweets, I chose original (non reply) tweets that stand alone and hold way more than 140 characters of meaning or humor.

I quit a job today.

Here's the letter I wrote

I'm done with this job, I hope you find someone who can put up with the wide variety of trivial personal preferences that each editor seems to have. One day an article isn't focused enough, one day it is too focused. (name of company) is great, the ever-changing whims of the editors, combined with stricter standards that I think they've all interpreted differently is ridiculous. I'd like to leave on good terms, I think the company is fantastic.

If I get fired

If I get fired, it is because I have violated some kind of rule by making the pretty widget instead of keeping the ugly widget on my site. Compare for yourself- let me know what you think.
