Writing for HowToee.com

After writing about How To or HowToee.com the other day, I decided to give it a whirl. I normally do not join new revenue sharing sites these days because my writing schedule is so full already, but after checking it out further and emailing back and forth with HowToee admin, Peter, I jumped in.

The site uses WordPress, so it is easy to create a how-to article and publish it. The only "bug" at this point is that you cannot go back in and edit your article, once it's been published. What to do if you discover your article contains errors or you want to change the wording? Peter indicated that if you need to make changes, you can contact HowToeeadmin and they will make the changes for you.

Pros
It's great that you can make changes to your articles and that HowToee staff is willing to do this for you.

Cons
This is a bit more cumbersome than being able to edit your articles on-site; however, as the site grows, this method may see changes. It's early days yet and as indicated on the site, HowToee will evolve over time.

Peter indicated there are reasons for these safeguards:

We have disabled the editing feature after an article is published just to prevent any kind of misusing and adding links...

Editing your Articles at HowToee Prior to Publication
However, that said, this morning I submitted an article for publication and discovered that while it was still pending, I could Preview it and more importantly Edit it. This gives writers a chance to see how their article will look on-site and they can go back in and make any changes before it is published.

I would suggest that as soon as you submit an article for review, select the Preview option to see how it will appear at HowToee. Often a published piece looks different from the rough draft and while you may have checked for errors in your online editor, you may spot other errors you missed, once you see your how your articles would look when published.

What I like about Howtooee.com:Link Building
A good feature of howtoee is that you can include a link to your website or blog in your profile bio information, which appears automatically at the bottom of each of your articles. This means that you

are getting that link out there each time you publish a page.
