It’s hard enough nowadays without some separate entity deciding what’s worth printing and what’s not. I’m not going to mention this third party company by name, but it’s fair to say my frustration level with them is rising by the second.

Typically some bloggers do make posts for other companies in return for payment. This blog occasionally posts these types of promotions after careful consideration. I don’t just post willy nilly, it has to make some sort of sense for me to share it with you.

At the moment, I’m only going to recommend a small handful because, frankly, most of these services are not what they appear to be and are a complete waste of your time (and mine). However, there is hope – and really good places to look – above and beyond the obvious (like Monster.com).

The ones I’ll be talking about off and on are not “submit your resume and hope for the best” web sites. These are boards and/or opportunities that, with the right skill set, just might land you a coveted telecommuting job (i.e., working from home for decent money).

Today, I’m happy to bring yet another potential source of income your way. But first, I must give credit where credit is due, so thank you to Mkcoy, a friend at BlogCatalog for putting us on to this money making resource.

Publishing (and getting paid) on eHow – How To Do Just About Everything looks extremely promising for everyone.

Ask yourself, “What is it I know ‘how to’ do and can explain to someone else?” There’s got to be tons of knowledge inside your head that you can share with other people. And no, this isn’t just for bloggers, so ANYONE looking for ways to pull in revenue online should check out eHow, too!
