eHow delete almost everything I got!!!

Hi, I an very sorry that happened to you. Did they give you a reason why they deleted them? Did you write the articles in a word processing program before you posted them? I always do that. If you did you can always go through and edit them. Spell check them, and change the information around a bit and then try resubmitting them. Did you post the same articles or very similiar articles somewhere else, most writing sites will not allow that. Again I am sorry that happened to you.

Hi jejay It is not you. They have been on a deleted trail for the past couple of months. I have been with them for over a year and they deleted one of mine the other day too. Their reasons are crazy. Im not sure why they can't do the deletes before you start getting views on them..I now have given all my time to mylot. I have had no problems in making payout every month. I can't say that on ehow..Just be patient or give your attention on here..Have a great day and keep smiling..

I can understand how frustrating that is for you, but to be honest, sites like eHow aren't for practicing your writing. They're paying for quality and judging by this post, you're not ready to provide that quality. They should have a better system so that articles are checked for grammar, etc;, before they're published instead of letting people keep writing and then find out that their articles aren't what eHow wants. Somebody suggested that you start a blog, which is a pretty good idea, but what you really need is a site where you can get feedback, and also make a little money. Triond is one that isn't too strict, and they have a forum where members can discuss their writing and ask for help. You need to get with people who'll help you work on your writing, not just leave a comment saying something like "great article." You can spend your energy being pissed off at eHow, or you can decide to work on your writing so that eventually you'll be good enough to write on sites that pay well.

I would have to agree with what unusualsuspect said above. Places like eHow are not going to pay people to 'practice' or learn to write. You said yourself 'i'm not really a writer at any form'. If your not a writer why would you think you could earn money by it? There are experienced writers who struggle to earn money doing what they love to do... I might suggest you keep working here on mylot - I've met many people over the years here who have used myLot to practice writing and have improved over time and while the pay isn't much you can earn something here. I do hope eHow doesn't delete your account and in time if you have the heart and commitment your writing will met their qualifications if you really want to be a writer.

Im pissed with ehow to! Not only because of the sweeps but all the glitches. Is was a pain just to submit a article then after all that aggrivation they come around and delete your article. I won't be writing there anymore. Does anyone know of any sights like ehow?

eHow deleted one of my articles last month. I've been w/them for nearly 2 yrs w/no complaints. The reason they gave was that my article did not give actual methods or tips on how to make time for your art. Now, to be honest w/myself, there were a couple of tips but it was really my own feedback into how a service (think it was called writinghustle.com) can con artists into believing that their services will be an asset instead of a liability. I didn't name the actual place but I guess Demand Studios is experienced enough to know a rant. I even got positive feedback on this piece! My suggestion would be to keep a copy and submit to other content sites. Or re-write them first then submit. Best

This is a risk we have to take in online earning. I think we are at the mercy of the site's discretions. They may choose whatever they want to do and we are actually left with no recourse but to accept our fate. I am not aware if there are legal solutions for problems like this. I hope there is, like in the real world. Otherwise, we just have to look for more legit sites and make the most of our invested time. cheers.

Don't feel bad. I had one deleted today and I'm sure they'll find reasons to delete something else. Unfortunately all of the writing sites have a serious flaw of some kind at each one. Practicing your writing is a good idea, but you need feedback. You can't really get that on ehow. You need to join a writing forum.

What a waste of time and effort but don't feel bad though just try to look at it in a positive manner. For now, find another site that would publish your article and pays.
