(Not) Writing for Demand Studios
I started writing for Demand Studios in April, and stopped in early June. In that time, I earned a few thousand dollars. It’s ridiculously easy money, but the fact that I was writing articles that won’t ever earn me passive income sort of bothered me. At DS, I was earning $15 per article. It’s easy money, yes, but a a little voice in my head started wondering how much those same articles would have earned me if I had written them for eHow. I’ve been at eHow for nearly a year, and some of my articles have earned hundreds of dollars. Contrast that with the $15 that Demand Studios pays me for the same sort of work. Demand Studios appeals to the need for immediate gratification, but earning passive residual income at eHow just makes a lot of sense. I see eHow as a creative bank account that keeps earning me scads of interest on the work that I’ve paid into it.
