It's been a long, long time since I posted any residual income reports. Six months to be exact. So, let me make that right. Here is a report of my residual income earnings from October 2010 - March 2011.
eHow Earnings
My eHow earnings have continued to grow and grow and grow. I haven't added any new eHow articles during this time, since the changes were made to the WCP. So this represents truly passive income, which is fabulous! (It's still possible to add revenue share articles through Demand Studios, but the only articles I've written for them have been for upfront pay and aren't included here.)
October 2010 - $271.70
November 2010 - $266.19
December 2010 - $301.53
January 2011 - $367.97
February 2011 - $350.83
March 2011 - $440.84
Cash Back Sites
These are my referral earnings from cash back sites like Mr. Rebates and Big Crumbs. Again, this is truly passive income. Once the referrals are made, I earn a small percentage of their savings every time they shop through these sites. I love this income stream because my referrals are saving money too. My "commission" comes from the company and not from the referrals' savings so it is truly win/win/win.
October 2010 - $177.94
November 2010 - $133.01
December 2010 - $214.00
January 2011 - $246.63
February 2011 - $190.57
March 2011 - $160.90
I also use these sites to save money on my own online shopping, but those amounts aren't included here.
Adsense
During the period from October 2010 - March 2011, I received two Adsense checks totallying $226.90. Those are primarily from writing at Hubpages, Xomba, and at my Family CEO blog.
Amazon
Amazon affiliate earnings totalled $206.92 for the six month period. Again, those come from a variety of online sources.
Miscellaneous
I also had another $65 in residual online income that came from several other miscellaneous sources.
Final Thoughts
This report is encouraging to me, because it covers a six month period where these income sources were somewhat neglected. This is just residual income (or passive income, if you prefer) that was thrown off from work I've done earlier.
The residual income stream I am most excited about are the referrals from the savings sites Mr. Rebates and Big Crumbs. If you haven't checked out those sites, I highly recommend you do so. Even referring a few friends or family can create a little income stream and you'll earn cash back on your shopping as well. (The links above are referral links and will put you in my network when you sign up. Oh, and they're both free, plus Mr. Rebates will give you a $5 cash back bonus just for signing up.)
Let me know if you have any questions and I'd love to hear how your residual income businesses are going as well!

Residual Income Earnings Update for August
August was an exciting month for my growth in residual income. Here are the details:
eHow
I had a record month at eHow and, if the forums are any indication, a lot of other people did too. My eHow earnings for August were $270.73. That is 27% higher than last month and 17% higher than my previous high. Since writers can no longer add articles to eHow (unless they do it through the Demand Studios platform, which I am not doing) this represents completely passive income. I continue to be grateful for this revenue stream for as long as it lasts.
Cash Back Sites
August was another great month for earnings at Mr. Rebates and Big Crumbs. I've posted a report of those residual income numbers at my blog, Make Money with Cash Back Sites. The short story is that I added 33 new referrals at those sites and had payouts totaling $75. This does not include the rebates I earned for my own shopping at those sites. I continue to be quite excited about these streams of residual income.
Adsense
My Adsense earnings were $33.71. $19.71 of that came from Hubpages and another $9.07 came from Xomba. Other sites contributed the rest. As quickly as possible I'd like to get to the point where I'm making the $100 payout from Adsense each month.
Amazon
In August I made $29.18 from Amazon. The breakdown was $22.52 from links on eHow articles, $6.06 from Hubpages, and $.60 from Xomba. Again, I'd like to get this amount to $100/month as quickly as possible.
Conclusion
So all told, I'm at $400+ for the month in residual income. Although $400 is not a huge number, I can reasonably expect to make that or more next month and the month after with no additional work. But I plan to do additional work to push that number to $500, then $1000 and beyond. I firmly believe if I can make $400/month online, then I can make $4000/month. It's simply a matter of scale.
I'd love to hear about your residual income or online earnings for August. Please leave a comment or a question and let me know how you're doing.

Fun story: The last time I deposited an Adsense check, the teller at my bank asked me, "How did you get a check from Google? That's cool."
Amazon
In August I made $29.18 from Amazon. The breakdown was $22.52 from links on eHow articles, $6.06 from Hubpages, and $.60 from Xomba. Again, I'd like to get this amount to $100/month as quickly as possible.
The most valuable Amazon resource I've run across is Paula and Wanda's Amazonian Profit Plan. I've followed these ladies for quite some time and was so pleased they decided to put their plan down on paper and make it available to all of us. I'll use their technique with Hubpages, since I've had some success with them so far, and Paula and Wanda even mention Hubpages in their blueprint (although their real recommendation is to own your own sites). But I'd also like to use their method to write more Amazon reviews at Xomba, as they have one of the most attractive Amazon policies of all the revenue share sites.
Conclusion
So all told, I'm at $400+ for the month in residual income. Although $400 is not a huge number, I can reasonably expect to make that or more next month and the month after with no additional work. But I plan to do additional work to push that number to $500, then $1000 and beyond. I firmly believe if I can make $400/month online, then I can make $4000/month. It's simply a matter of scale.

eHow Earnings for June and July 2010 and a New Residual Income Goal
My eHow earnings remained at $200+ for both June and July. The final total was $216.22 for June and $211.80 for July, bringing my total earned from eHow to date to $3942.29. What's left to say about eHow? I'm not doing any backlinking or other form of promotion. It's completely passive income at this point and I'm grateful for whatever earnings it continues to generate.
The real growth in my passive income streams is happening with referring others to cash back sites like Mr. Rebates and Big Crumbs (two sites that I use myself and can recommend). I've posted a report of those residual income numbers at my blog, Make Money with Cash Back Sites. Pop over if you're interested!
I've had an idea floating around my head all summer that I've decided to officially make a goal. That goal is for each of my residual income streams to reach $100/month on a consistent basis. Of course I don't plan to stop there. After I reach that short-term goal I can either bump the amount or add additional income streams or both. Here's where I'm at so far:
I'd love to hear how your residual income efforts are going and what goals you may have as we head into fall and beyond. Please consider leaving a comment and letting me know.

- eHow: eHow is a consistent $200+/month performer
- Mr. Rebates: My income from referring others to Mr. Rebates is fast approaching $100/month and many months it has exceeded that. I expect it to be there consistently soon.
- Big Crumbs: I made over $40 at Big Crumbs last month (again from referring others to the site) but this residual income stream is far from consistent. I think it has great potential, however, so I plan to try and get it there soon.
- Adsense: I'm currently making around $25/month from Adsense, mostly from Hubpages, Info Barrel and a couple of blogs. Adding content to these sites will help boost this amount.
- Amazon: Last month I made $26 on Amazon, from affiliate links in my eHow, Info Barrel and Hubpages articles. Again, adding content here will help boost this.

eHow Earnings for May
I'm really late this month posting my eHow earnings update and for no good reason. In fact, May was the best month I've ever had on eHow. My earnings were $230.42, bringing my total eHow earnings to date to $3514.27. June doesn't appear that it will end up that high, but I should still break $200. I hope your eHow earnings are holding firm too!

April Earnings at eHow
I was so eager to see how this month would turn out at eHow since we were told in early April that we could no longer add articles to the eHow Writers Compensation Plan, but that our existing articles would continue to earn. My April earnings were down from March, but still my second highest month ever at $206.28. Since I added no articles in April, this represents completely residual income. My total eHow earnings to date now stand at $3283.85.
Despite the fact that I was already an approved writer at Demand Studios, I don't plan to do any writing there for the time being. Frankly, the articles are just too much work for the money. I would rather invest my time on other sites and creating other residual income streams. But I am glad to have the eHow articles as a residual income stream for as long as it lasts. In a way this change at eHow has freed me up to focus on other things and that is a positive.
I hope your April was good, at eHow and otherwise. I'd love to hear where you're focusing your efforts now.

Three Ways to Make More Money with Your Existing eHow Articles
So the dust is starting to settle and the information is being sorted out around eHow's change to using the Demand Studios platform for all it's content. eHow writers are learning whether or not they have been pre-approved for Demand Studios or whether they need to apply at DS to be able to continue writing how-to articles for eHow. They're also making the decision about whether they want to continue writing for eHow at all.
Regardless of where you are in your decision-making process, the fact remains that you probably have a bunch of eHow articles that you've already written still live on the eHow site. And according the eHow, you will continue to earn from those articles with the same algorithm you already have.
So what can you do to beef up earnings on the articles that are already on the eHow site?
1. You can backlink to your existing eHow articles. There are a variety of ways to do that but two places where you can backlink to all of your eHow articles and earn money in the process are Xomba and She Told Me. I've already written about my Xomba experiment in backlinking to my eHow articles. Recently I joined She Told Me and I'm starting to experiment at that site as well.
2. Another thing you can do is to re-write your highest earning eHow articles for other sites. If you've written an article for eHow, chances are it's on a subject you either a) already knew a lot about or b) did the research necessary to write on it. In fact, you probably have groups of articles on eHow written around various subjects. You may find it surprising how easy it is to re-write articles on that topic for another site.
At first I was reluctant to do this because the 'how-to' format was something of a security blanket for me. Staring at a blank page was a little intimidating after writing 200+ eHow articles. If you find yourself in the same boat, remember that you can still write in how-to format for other sites. In addition you can create other 'security blanket formats' that might help you get the writing ball moving forward. This article is an example of that. '____ Ways to _______' can be a format where you fill in the blanks depending on the article you're writing.
You'll find publishing articles at sites like Xomba and Info Barrel a real pleasure and re-writing articles you've already written can be a real shortcut to getting content up fast. You can also write different articles on similar topics for revenue share at Demand Studios.
3. Finally you can improve the SEO of the eHow articles you already have up. If you look at your earliest eHow articles, you will probably discover that you've learned a thing or two about SEO since you started writing. Make some changes in the keywords, etc. and see if you earnings on those articles don't improve.
So this can all be summed up in three tips:
An Additional Note About Putting More Time Into eHow
I know some are less than trusting about eHow's claims that our WCP articles will stay up and continue to earn. I feel about this the way I felt when I wrote about what I thought was the future of the WCP over a month ago: the WCP articles may not last forever but they're there for now and I might as well maximize my ability to earn money from them. Especially since they are already written and aged. I don't need a guarantee that they will be there forever because there is nothing in the online business world (or offline business world for that matter) that will be unchanging. My strategy is to:

- Give it my all.
- Adapt and move forward when someone moves my cheese.

eHow Earnings are Back on the Rise!
March turned out to be my best month ever on eHow. My earnings were $225.98, nearly 10% higher than my previous high. This brings my total earnings at eHow to over $3000! That's an exciting milestone for me.
I did very little writing in March so I think this has to do with eHow fixing the UK issues as well as some backlinking I've been doing to my eHow articles from Xomba. Residual income is wonderful!
Speaking of residual income, I plan to soon share some details about another great source of residual income for me. If you're interested in passive/residual income I hope you'll subscribe and stay tuned for more information.
How was your March at eHow or otherwise? Hope it was happy and prosperous!

February Update: eHow and Xomba Earnings
eHow Earnings
eHow earnings seem to be getting back on track. My February earnings were $183.59, a 15%+ increase over January. They still haven't rebounded back to my October high of $205 but I do feel we're moving in the right direction. As I like to point out every month, almost all of this was residual income as I only wrote five eHow article in Feburary.
Xomba Earnings
While eHow was having publishing issues in February, I began an experiment using Xomba to build a residual income stream while creating backlinks to my eHow articles. I posted my first Xomblurb (a link to an eHow article with a 50 word description) on February 18. Since that time I have posted approximately 90 more Xomblurbs linking to my eHow articles, which I estimate has taken me only a couple of hours to do because these 50 word blurbs are so easy to write.
Last Friday I told you my Xomba earnings stood at $4.35. Today they're at $5.99 so they continue to grow. I love this for two reasons:

- Like eHow, Xomba is another source of residual income and I've become very passionate about residual income.
- The income I earn at Xomba is primarily a result of creating links to my eHow articles, so it is win/win.

A Two Month eHow Earnings Update
How much of this was due to the UK fiasco at eHow, I'm not sure. With the earnings algorithm kept secret, we never really know. I do know that eHow has made good on their promise to give us a little bonus in earnings in January to make up for the lost UK earnings. My January payment ended up being $175.55, which amounted to a $17 bonus.
The good news in all of this? It's the same as always: residual income. I wrote exactly one article in December and one in January, which means my earnings for those two months, $365.40, were almost entirely passive income! I love that!
So despite the poor communication, and the buggy site, and the monthly rule changes, I plan to continue writing at eHow. It's still fun for me to come up with how-to articles and put them up on the site and see how they do. Some of the ones that become successful continue to surprise me.
Speaking of successful eHow articles, back in June I blogged about my first $100 article. Since that time, that article has almost reached the $200 mark. In fact, three more of my articles have now passed the $100 mark and three more are within $10 of doing so. So it shouldn't be long before I have seven $100+ articles.
There is no way I could have predicted that these would be the articles to cross the barrier and do so well. While I have learned a ton about key word research and still employ it, there is still a lot of mystery and luck involved when it comes to making money online.
So how's that for a silver lining for these past two dreary months? Residual income and $100+ articles are what we'll keep me plugging on at eHow. How have your earnings been?

Year-End eHow Earnings Review
A user named Xrayness at eHow started a thread in the forums where they shared their earnings for 2008 ($500) compared to 2009 ($3000). How inspiring!
My 2009 earnings came in at $1981 compared to $321 in 2008, which admittedly was a partial year.
Here's to even higher earnings in 2010! Happy New Year!

November eHow Earnings: Still $200+
My November earnings at eHow were just a tiny bit lower than October but still over the $200 threshold that I first reached last month so I am happy. My actual earnings for November were $203.33, bringing my eHow earnings to date to $2302.60.
I wrote five eHow articles in November and all but one were in the last two days of the month. That means that all but 34 cents of my November earnings were completely passive income, which is the most exciting part to me.
Hope your November was good. I would love to hear about it!

October Earnings at eHow: A New Milestone
After several months of flirting with it, my eHow earnings finally broke $200 for the month of October. The actual total was $205.49, an increase of 3% over September, which was also a record breaking month.
I ended the month with 194 articles, seven of which were written in October. I earned $6.54 on those seven articles, which means $198.95 of my earnings were completely passive income. I also earned a little bit in Amazon commissions along the way, due to my affiliate links. All in all, eHow continues to be a great residual income tool.

What eHow Earnings Can Do
There is currently a thread going on in the eHow forums about how people are spending their eHow earnings. As you may know, I'm using mine to help send my daughter to college. Other replies on the eHow forums included:
I love seeing how even little bits of extra money are making a difference is people's lives. How are you using your eHow earnings?
- Christmas savings accounts
- Baby expenses
- Supplementing or saving for retirement
- Vacation money

eHow Earnings for September
$2.41. That's what I lacked in making $200 in eHow earnings in September. But I'm not complaining. My earnings were $197.59, my highest earning month so far and an almost 15% increase over last month. This despite the fact that I lost articles in last month's eHow sweep.
So that's another $197.59 that will go into my daughter's college savings account. That account, which consists of eHow earnings along with some other online earnings earmarked for this purpose, now stands at over $2600.
By the way, if you haven't given your eHow earnings a job, I highly recommend earmarking them for some specific purpose. It really helps with motivation to know how those funds are going to be used. $200 isn't much money when it's swallowed up with all our other expenses for the month, but $200 added to a college fund takes on more meaning and tends to add up quickly.
I'd love to know, how was your September?

eHow Earnings: August Update
Well, despite the eHow sweeps, and the doldrums of August, I managed to have my second best month ever at eHow with earnings of $172.15. That brings my total eHow income to date to $1696.19.Despite the glitches and the sweeps, eHow still remains the best source of residual income that I've been able to discover thus far. How was your August?

Are eHow Earnings Late?
Are eHow earnings late this month? A quick check of my Paypal account tells me that eHow earnings usually arrive on the 5th or 6th of the month. Today is the 9th with no earnings yet. I'm not worried, however, for two reasons:1. eHow has an excellent track record of paying contributors.
2. Last September my eHow earnings arrived on the 10th so it does seem to happen from time to time.
My guess is we'll see them sometime tomorrow.
Friday, August 7, 2009
eHow Earnings: July Update
July earnings = $165.74. Back up after a little dip last month. This is primarily due to some new articles I added in July, several of which started earning right away. Otherwise earnings are a little flat. Still, eHow continues to be an awesome source of residual income! Total eHow earnings to date - $1524.04.

eHow Ebook Author Interview: WriterGig
If you read the following interview with WriterGig I think you'll see what I mean. Her eHow earnings are amazing and her goal is to grow them even more. Congrats to Maria on all he success and my thanks to her for participating in the interview.
What led you to begin writing for eHow?
I was writing eHow articles as a freelance writer for a flat fee at about the same time the eHow Writers Compensation program began and I decided to experiment as to which was more lucrative -- the flat fee or the WCP. Very quickly, it became clear to me that I would do much better in the long run writing for the eHow WCP as a site user. One of my early articles began earning quickly and has garnered over $600 to date. This was my first real experience with residual income, and I was hooked.
How many articles have your written?
I have written close to 700 eHow articles; about 400 of these are in the WCP under WriterGig, the rest are not earning residuals.
Do you have a background as a writer?
Yes. My BA is in English Language and Literature and I worked as a writer and assistant editor for a newspaper and then trade publication before I became a work at home mom and freelance writer.
What can you tell us about your eHow earnings?
They could pay my mortgage, utilities, and groceries every month if needed. One of my best months showed a per-article-average of $7.25/ article. Neat fact: 30 of my articles have earned over $100 each; the top two are over $1,000 each now. I made $1,600 the month of my one-year eHow anniversary -- I think this really shows the power of eHow -- only 12 months in, you can make significant residual income. At the 2008 weHow user event, I received the "Highest Earner" eHow acheivement award from Rich, community manager.
What are your goals concerning eHow?
I plan to contribute articles to eHow as long as the WCP continues as it stands currently. While my niche sites and affiliate marketing efforts provide diversification and further earnings, I consider eHow a large part of my overall plan to make $50,000 a year in residual income through online articles.
What motivated you to write an ebook?
As one of the first active and prolific writers in the eHow WCP, I found myself constantly answering questions and providing tips to newer users. I finally kept a Word document with my tips to make it easier to respond to PM's, and the book grew from there.
Tell us a little about your ebook and what it covers.
I share my method for discovering lucrative niches, using keywords, and maximizing residual income through eHow articles. Everything I've learned and that has contributed to my eHow success is shared in the book, which is concise yet thorough. I've had incredible feedback form the book, including a user who went on to write a fast-earning $1,000 article and one whose article earned $200 in one day. Yeah, they used my tips to beat my personal records!
What else would you want us to know about eHow and your experiences there?
In addition to the income potential (I don't mean to over-emphasize that, but it is the main draw for many folks, including myself), eHow is a wonderful community of users form many diverse backgrounds who really have a lot to share, making the community a great place to hang out online. eHow is my favrite social networking site, if it can be considered that. Great place to learn, write and earn.

eHow Earnings: June Earnings Update
My eHow earnings for the month were $148.03, which is down a bit from the two months prior. I added four articles in June, all of them in the last week of the month. To date none of them have started earning. So again, all of my eHow income this month was completely passive.
Another milestone: as I blogged about before, I did have my first eHow article reach $100 in earnings in June. In fact, that article now sits at $106.03 and it earns daily.
How was your June at eHow? Are you happy with your earnings?
