I Finally Made Payout! How About You?

When ehow shut down the WCP I was left with 30 articles and very discouraging earnings and not much to say about ehow, so this blog sat neglected since.....WOW....June 11th?....has it really been 4 months?

Time flies when you're not obsessing over ehow, I guess  = )

Anyway, I thought I would add some positive comments here about my earnings. I hope to hear more of the same from you so please go ahead and brag about you're Sept. earnings or feel free to vent if you're discouraged.

Although only a few of my 30 articles are making money consistently every month, I've been sooooo close to breaking that $10 minimum several times in the past. Well, last month I finally did it! I closed out September with $11.30.  I had only made payout one other time and that was in June of '09.

I would be very pleased if this became the norm going forward. Although 11 bucks won't even pay the internet bill, it would serve as a monthly reminder that the time I put into ehow was a good investment in my future. I'm going to think of any future payments I receive as interest on a savings account that I opened last year and forgot about.  I haven't been making any deposits to it but the amount I've already put in is slowly paying off.  

My earnings so far for October are $3.35 so it looks like a good possibility that I'm on track for another payout in November.  We all know it's too soon to make that assumption so I'll let you know how things turn out at the end of the month.

How are you doing with your articles that remain on ehow? Was September a good month for you too?

I Won an Ezine Articles Caption Contest!

Hope you all are doing well in your writing efforts with or without ehow/demand studios. I just wanted to share some exciting news.

I found out last night that a cartoon caption I submitted to an Ezine Articles contest was chosen as the winner. I'm told I will be receiving a mug with the cartoon and my caption printed on it. Check it out at Give this Cartoon a Caption.

The mug won't pay any bills but I'll enjoy using it knowing that my writing was recognized and appreciated and I think that's pretty cool!

I've never submitted anything to them other than this caption and from what I understand they do not pay writers for their articles. So basically writer's submit content for FREE in order to get more traffic to their other businesses, blogs, products etc. Can anyone comment on Ezine Articles? Have you used this site and if so have you seen any benefits to publishing there?
