A Look at E-How
Could you write short how-to articles? If so, E-How might be the perfect fit for you.
E-How allows you to share your ideas and earn for your efforts.
What I like about E-How is that article lengths are generally shorter. As well, how-to articles follow a certain, easy-to-implement format.
You describe how to do something in a series of logical steps. For a newer writer, this style of writing may be one of the easiest to manage.
E-How Article Format
1. Intro
2. Necessary items/supplies
3. Step-by-step instructions
4. Conclusion
Getting Started With E-How
- Register with E-How’s Writer’s Compensation Program
- Check out the Writer’s Academy for tips on how to make the most of your published articles.
- Become familiar with “Write Great Articles” to choose topics with wide appeal.
E-How’s suggested article lengths run from 400-600 words; however, many of the articles are shorter.
Why I Like E-How
- You can include photos or videos with your content.
- E-How offers insights about effective use of keywords and insights on how to drive traffic to your articles.
- Writers can join the E-How community and forums.
I’m in favor of writing opps. that do double duty: you get paid; you receive training about writing for the Internet.
What Do E-How Articles Look Like?
In sum, E-How looks like a solid opportunity for newer writers wanting to cut their teeth on online writing.
