Ehow has everything set up for you in terms of writing a great how to article. They have slots for many pictures to add to your article for those visual people. I am one of those visual people who will gain much more from a picture than from a paragraph of instructions.

Ehow also has the step by step ease of a how to article. Writing freelance how to articles for ehow you should have an introductory paragraph or two and then go into the steps of how to complete the project, craft, DIY or other type of how to article. While I like pictures it is not necessary to have a picture for every step in your how to a few sprinkled around will do.

People know ehow and they trust them to find out how to do exactly what they were looking for. They can find your how to articles and then if they follow your directions they should come up with a completed project.

How to Niche Articles
There are already how to articles on just about anything that is major or popular. So the best thing for you as a freelance writer to do is to narrow down that topic. Don't write: How to Lose Weight, but instead write: How to Lose Weight After 40. Just by adding a few words and narrowing down your category you have a more valuable article than just the general ones out there that are a dime a dozen. Which means your niche how to article has more of a chance of being seen by more people, and getting picked up by other websites.
