I Feel Fine About It But Others Might Not

Published by bothfeetin at 2:56 pm under The Past Edit This

A quick update…I think the new fake desk arrangement might work. I am going to force myself to clean rather than work for an entire hour so that I can clear my head and stop being so overstrung.

Anyhow, I got this blog to get some realize and here is the first confession. I got another account at eHow. The first name was before I began freelance writing online with any type of brand, and since then I had a brand and got another. I don’t feel bad that I did it, and I got to follow all of Maria O’Brien’s steps to create it, and with one article and only a post in the daily articles forum, I earned $0.24, 12 friends, and 1 recommendation. Not bad. It will only get better.

I decided that I am going to write articles that sell for eHow for a while. The ones with the write ads and on popular topics. I don’t feel like I am comproming my integrity in doing so. I do feel that if I keep writing about writing and eHow for eHow that I will never get my ebooks and reports written. Plus, I want to and need to make the money from eHow. I am completely following the steps in the ebook with the exception of social bookmarking. I haven’t done this yet. I am going to try to write the articles as the steps outline and just keep producing. I think that I will be able to earn lots and earn fast.

I don’t feel bad that I opened another account. Others might think that it is wrong. I didn’t tell anyone and I really wanted to so I confessed it here. I wonder though when I promote on Twitter…will someone ask me if I have different accounts? Will someone notice my inactivity and ask? I would like to tell them the truth, but eHow didn’t give me any answer on duplicate accounts and if there is a problem I don’t want or need to be ratted out.

I think I will just stick to blogging it here. There, I confess. I have multiple eHow accounts! Sheesh. I think I did nothing wrong, and I feel fine.

I am so overwhelmed by the amount of things I have to do. I am going to proof a client’s resume and then move on. This will be the first client that I alert of my new business reinvention, as well, so hmmm. I am feeling frazzle, frustrated, and hazy. Ugh.

    I dont know about ehow- the format never appealed and I don’t think they take non-US writers but I have had some success with constant content where you sell your work on commission - its a bit hit and miss at the start but you can build a portfolio there relatively easily I reviewed it here http://hubpages.com/hub/Recycle-Your-Articles-for-Profit

    I don’t see having 2 accounts as being wrong…more like writing under assorted pen names for assorted genres. DO what works for you, and if you find out it’s not acceptable by eHow standards, then you’ll have to adjust, but in the meantime: Go for it!
