2/21 Weekly Update: Ehow, Suite 101 & Niche Blogging

This past week was fairly pathetic as far as residual income goes. Not so much in terms of my earnings, but in terms of getting work done. I had all the kids this week (4!) and I also worked two full days this week at my "other job". I'm also an administrative assistant and I work about 15 hours every other week to supplement our income.

Ehow

I managed to do some keyword research for some Ehow articles and I came up with 6 new articles. I put them all into Ehow so I was able to save the titles and I've only finished 1 of them so far. Again, my goal for February was 2 and I have written 3 so far so I can't be unhappy with that. All of them will be fairly easy to write and won't take up too much time because I've already done the research.

Suite101

With Suite101, I also only managed finishing 1 article this past week. Like Ehow though, I did a lot of keyword research in order to get a bunch of ideas down so I could get to 50 articles by the end of February. I'm currently at 32 articles, so I need to publish 18 more. I have plenty of titles ready, now I just need to write.

Niche Blogging

I managed to write up 4 posts for my niche blogs. This isn't exceptional at all. Next week I'm planning on outsourcing the writing for one of those blogs and I hope to be able to do more of that in the future. I like the idea of outsourcing the writing of blog posts so that I can concentrate on residual income sites like Ehow and Suite101.

HubPages

I had an interesting experience with Hubpages this week. Some guy flagged one of my articles because he felt it was too promotional. So naturally Hubpages emailed me about it, as did the original flagger. The actual guy wrote me telling me that everything I had written was in violation of the Hubpages Terms of Service, which it clearly wasn't. I simply re-published it for Hubpages to review and it was published again the very same day. The article was a review of a fitness supplement and it wasn't favorable in any way. I simply mentioned facts about it. Why do people waste precious time being ridiculous?

I know that the coming week again will prove to be a busy one for me. With my eldest in school and just having our 22-month-old at home during the day, I'll be able to get a lot more done next week.
