How do people make money writing How-Tos on Mahalo?

How-To's are pages intended to answer specific questions giving detailed instructions on the solution to the reader's problem. One relevant example - how-to-join-the-how-to-team. Mahalo pays M$7 for a completed how-to page.

To write a how-to page you need to claim one of the open rush-week how-to tasks available at mahalo.com/tasks?filter=open_howto_rush" rel="nofollow">mahalo.com/tasks?filter=open_howto_rush which will then undergo quality control (QC) before being approved, or, if it has enough issues, being rejected with suggestions on how to improve it and resubmit it. Once you have completed a rush-week how-to task, on the following Wednesday you will hear if you were approved as a new member of the Mahalo how-to team. Once on the team you can either claim open how-to tasks from mahalo.com/tasks?filter=open_howto or you can propose your own titles and once approved, complete those.

As with all newly created pages, when your how-to is approved, not only do you receive the (M$7) tip, you also become the page manager (PM) of the new how-to page. As such, you are expected to keep it current, and in return you receive a share of the ad revenue Mahalo gains from that page. This share is M$0.40 for each US$1 of revenue Mahalo receives (M$0.50 per US$1 if there is no vertical manager or VM).

After accounting for the M$1 = US$0.75 conversion factor for cashing out M$s, this works out to 30% revenue share (37.5% if no VM is assigned to the page). The how-to team also gets special bonuses that change month to month based on the number of how-to's completed by the team and the individual. In February 2010 the bonuses offered were e.g. An extra M$1 per completed how-to if you signed up for a bulk-task of at least 25 how-to's, an extra M$2 per how-to if you completed 50 how-to's in the month, and each how-to was awarded an added M$2 for the last week of February, during which the team rose to the challenge of completing more than 300 how-to pages in one week.

Writing is also a kind of art. Only a smart way which your thoughts are been written in a question,in which if your thought is acceptable and has impressed any one, you will receive for your effort....simple.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
