How to Make Money with fireHow

Over the past couple of years Internet has exploded with paid writing websites. There are literally hundreds of websites that share their advertising revenue with publishers of content. Few of these websites such as eHow, Associated Content and HubPages have become extremely successful and popular. Not only are they able to generate massive profits for themselves, they also allow ordinary people to earn from their work as much as they want.

There are many option and opportunities for those who have a desire to share their knowledge with the world and add value to the online readership community. Some of the more prominent writers are making a nice living by publishing their work and others make enough to pay for a dinner or cable bill each month.

As you might already know eHow is one of the best sites that pays their users for publishing original and useful How To articles. Some members are slowly building their eHow empires and earning a substantial amount of money in the process. Recently an alternative to eHow appeared on the Internet: fireHow. This website is similar to eHow and also offers its users the chance to publish How To articles while earning some income.

Here are some important steps that you can take to try and earn by writing for fireHow.

Step 1:

First head over to fireHow.com and create an account. Registration is simple and only takes a few minutes. Remember to put your Social Security number in order to join fireHow’s ‘Writers Payment Program’ and be eligible to earn from your published content.

Step 2:

Once you finish registering for an account go ahead and create a profile so other readers can find you and become friends. Making friends at fireHow will help you build a readership base and increase your article views which in turn will generate more money. Having very popular articles will entice many people to read them and click on the ads, therefore increasing your overall earnings.

Step 3:

Read over the tutorial on how to publish your articles. Although this website is very similar to eHow it uses a completely different editor for publishing your work. The article publishing editor is just a simple text editor that does not offer a comprehensive laid out step by step format like eHow. Instead you must publish your work in one big chunk and remember to include your own steps. Keep in mind that articles have to be in a How To format or they will be deleted.

Step 4:

Publish some quality and useful How To articles and send a message to your friends to read and rate them. The more people that view, rate and comment on your articles the more you will earn.

Step 5:

Visit social bookmarking sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon and Twitter to promote your fireHow articles. Don’t spend too much time promoting because its important to use your time wisely and instead write more articles. Writing more quality, informative articles will substantially increase your revenues.

Tips:

Keep in mind that fireHow is still a fairly new site. As it matures and grows in size so will your earnings.

There are still many available highly searched titles that you can capitalize on by writing about at fireHow.

Familiarize yourself with the site before beginning to write to make it easier for you to navigate and submit articles.

Warnings:

Careful not to plagiarize any of your How To articles. Just like eHow, fireHow has zero tolerance for plagiarized content and will ban your account if you steal other people’s work. Follow the terms of service and you will continue to earn with fireHow for years to come.
