Easy (Kinda) Money

I am finally getting my head wrapped around the things I need to do in order to build my passive income. I think that it was overwhelming at the outset. There were just so many ideas and so much information to sift through. I was hard pressed to prioritize these ideas, but I think I have a better clue now.

The List

• Finish moving this blog to http://www.easykindamoney.com/
• Write at least two articles per day at eHow.com
• Read and comment on an one article from each of my eHow friends every other week.
• Mid-month, begin going through 31 days to building a better blog at Pro Blogger

  Moving the blog
  
  It is simply a matter learning a little more about WordPress. I have chosen the theme, etc. I am just trying to figure out the widgets at this point. Other than that I really do like the simplistic power of WordPress. As I mentioned in my previous post I Need to Move My Blog, I went with Bluehost as suggessted by Pat at The Smart Passive Income Blog .

  Writing more on Ehow

  I know that Ehow will never make me rich, however it is a good source of steady and predictable passive income. I have been slacking a bit with it lately, so I am resolving to write 2 articles per day. This should increase my monthly income by about 70-80 dollars.

  Commenting on eHow articles

  I tried an experiment by religiously commenting on my eHow friends’ articles for two months and then I stopped commenting for two months. I am fairly certain that by commenting, I can increase my eHow income by about 12-15%. I think this is due to three things: First, these friends rate and comment on the articles. Secondly, these comments are posted on their home pages. Lastly, I think that these friends click on some of the ads on my pages as a favor. Although I do not condone this, I think it is just a fact of life.

  31 days to build a better blog
  
  This is a great project that every blogger should try. Each day contains a fairly easy project to improve your blog. I am actually really excited to embark on this.
