I have been writing for Ehow since January of 2009 and have learned a lot from how to make money from it. It is a great site where many have earned various amounts of money every month. Some make only a few bucks, others in the hundreds and others in the $1,000+ a month club. I am no where near the $1,000 (yet) but I have read and done research on what the high earners have been writing about. Here is what I have learned:
Write for Keywords. One of the most important things about writing online in general is that you must make sure people can at least find it. Writing a book is much different than writing online. There is no need for long academic words, intellectual metaphors and phrases that would make Tennessee Williams cry. It is about making sure you have the right keywords in your title and your writing. This is how search engines rank a lot of web sites. How sites end up on the front page of search engines and others on page 22.
Write about products. It would help to write about something that people could buy because this can help you have more relevant ads. If you have an article about Plasma TV's there are more than likely going to be a few ads on them. Your articles don't have to all be about products but definitely write one if you are out of ideas.

Give your Articles time. It takes time for your articles to really start earning money. The first few weeks are going to be slow because it is a new article and the search engines have to track it. So give it some good amount of time and you will see more views and in turn more money.
Promote your articles. There is one school of thought at Ehow that believes you should have a lot of articles and just keep writing. While others believe you should have a good amount of articles and then promote them. You can promote your articles on Digg, Reddit, or other social networking sites. It is a good way to get more page views and essentially more money.
