A New Website Name... A New Beginning...

As you may have noticed, this blog has gone through a substantial change. It is now called Residual Internet Income and will no longer be focused on just eHow. I, like many other eHow members, have diversified my "Residual Income" portfolio and this blog is going to reflect that.

Thank you to all those people who have supported me on my journey to earning consistent residual income. It has and will be a fun ride!

You're Hired! (Update to "The End is Near... Maybe..." Post)

Well after having a substantially large scare, my application was approved and I am now an official Demand Studios writer!

So what does this mean for me? Well, only time will tell but I do know one thing... I have not lost a source of residual income and I have GAINED a source of fixed income.

Although I plan on writing articles that earn income residually, Demand Studios has several different writing jobs which writers are paid per publish.

Well... Now I need to get back to writing... and earning...

I hope all is well with my fellow eHow'ers... Have a great day!

The End is Near... Maybe...

So, I just received an email from Demand Studios (company that owns eHow) and it said the following...


Important Announcement

Demand Studios is now the exclusive writing platform for eHow.com.

Hi iifarmerii,

Today, we are announcing that Demand Studios is now the exclusive platform for writing new articles for eHow.com. This change will not impact any of your existing articles or payments currently affiliated with the Writer Compensation Program (WCP). We would like to invite you to apply to become a Demand Studios writer. We are committed to providing a quality experience, and Demand Studios gives eHow.com’s writers a more robust publishing platform including copy editors, quality assurance and a number of great, new resources for the writer community. We look forward to hearing from you.

How does this impact you?

Demand Studios has a rigorous writer admission process to ensure quality. Some writers were pre-approved because of their track record with us. Quality is paramount, and our criteria for accepting eHow.com writers into Demand Studios were based on writer activity level and moderation history. By the end of March 2010, you should have published five or more articles, of which at least 80 percent were accepted. Also, you must have been a member of the WCP. Having written 74 articles with a 66% acceptance rate, you did not qualify. However, we want to learn more about you, which is why we would like to ask you to apply to Demand Studios. Your application will allow us to see more of your work and to comprehensively review your writing.

What are the benefits?

Demand Studios now offers the benefits you are accustomed to on eHow.com, with added flexibility. You can suggest your own titles and write articles that pay monthly on a residual basis. In addition you can select assignments that pay upfront. The combination of these options gives you the opportunity to make more money. You choose what articles you write and how you get paid.

Next Steps:

• Please complete any new articles that you are drafting on eHow.com within the next seven days. You will not be able to publish via eHow.com’s publishing tools after 12:00 AM (PDT) on April 13, 2010.
• Apply at Demand Studios.
• For additional questions, please visit the FAQ or email us at writers@ehow.com.

Thank you,

The eHow Team

I quickly responded by submitting my professional writing resume and I am waiting to hear back. I really hope that they approve my Demand Studios application because I really want to continue my successful journey on eHow.com and demand studios...


Stay tuned for updates,
