The New Year is here and I have earnings to report for the last month of 2009. I added one new income source this past month (December 2009) and that is FireHow. It’s a site very similar to Ehow.

My last goal was to add 222 new articles to the Ehow site which I have not done. I have added only 64. That means I need to add 158 more before the end of the year. Hmmm…. Read more…

It was an adjustment for me to not write in the 1st or 2nd person and to write solely in 3rd person, but I’ve gotten the hang of it pretty quickly and it’s easier to write articles for Suite now.
