Anyone else here peeved at residual income writing sites such as Ehow?

Hey everyone. I must say that I am starting to hate Ehow. I once had 106 articles that was publish and down dwindle down to 73 because now they get more stricter with the rules. I was earning, in most cases, between $30-$40 a month and I just got my last month payment from them of $30. This month, I only earn a little over $2 and it has been stuck there since who knows what. There are other writers that are mad at the site as well because their articles got deleted. I bet that I am not the only one mad at it and will more than likely either go to sites and publish those pieces at ehow to the ones that would give me 100% of adsense due to my articles or might as well make another blog at blogger.com with the adsense for free. I love to write and because of my money situation and have been a writer for over a year now, would love to make more than what I am worth at the moment. Tired of this and since I am a work at home mom plus expecting a fourth child, need more income here for income boost. Anyway, it's not just at ehow that there are people complaining about. Associated Content is another site that some guy is complaining about as well and long story short, he deleted his account due to the editors that made him mad claiming that he plagiarize the materials. Talk about bad luck there.

I think I'm giving up on that site, at least for awhile. I liked it, but I need to get paid. I don't have time to write article after article and come up empty handed.

I know what you mean. I am also on Associated content as well but at least even though they pay me very little for upfront payment, it's better than no money. I need to spread the word about my writing services so then I can outearn what I am getting so far. Besides writing, I do other stuff online to earn income. Sometimes my fingers won't cooperate on typing so might as well do other stuff to earn more.

I haven't used my Associated Content site in over a year. I was fed up and never paid by them. I guess I wasn't good enough. Anyway, I'm now trying unsent letters to see how that goes as well as Triond to get paid for pictures. I'm willing to try to see what I can get, but I don' stick around long if I don't see any results.

I wish you more luck with Triond. I am curious though about you trying the AC site. How long were you doing it before you didn't get any money from it? If you are talking about upfront money, the editors want the pieces to be just about perfect. I have some articles on my profile where I got paid mostly for $2 somewhere for upfront payment. This is my second month that I got paid by them for performance payment. Not all writing sites are a cup of tea for everyone. Hubpages seem to be another good site to write at even though i already have two articles there.
