eHow

The Internet Explorer wishes you a happy Tuesday! Chug down that coffee!


Today, The Internet Explorer has decided to review eHow, a site that has walkthroughs and guides on just about everything from gardening to fixing your computer to brewing a better cup of tea.


eHow is a huge site that includes thousands of how-to-do articles. Since many people search the internet for all kinds of information, eHow shows up in many Google searches. For example, "How do I treat a mosquito bite?" From this example, you can see that eHow includes a few multimedia features. eHow is somewhat similar to Knol (see previous post) in that it runs the gamut of explanatory articles.

You can also earn money from eHow! After writing articles, users can "earn money based on article performance." This makes the effort of writing articles more appealing. Everyone wants to make money, and what better way to make money than from your very own home?

eHow also has a blog, a Twitter URL, and a MySpace.

A clip from the "How to Write an eHow Article":

"Pick a topic. Be familiar with the topic because you want to share what you know. People want to learn from the best, so you should be the best--or at least have enough experience to teach others. When coming up with the topic, think about your hobbies and interests; your best articles will come from there."
