How-To Article Paper
Having have used wikiHow and eHow pages on everything from
homework help to how to build a table, we have found that online howto articles are convenient and easy to follow. Wiki-How articles are a
helpful tool in the process of self-teaching a task. We have done
extensive research on how-to articles by using both the Kean Library
database and popular press articles on the Internet. We will be
discussing the history of how-to articles online, the need for how-to
articles online, and how-to article cases in the popular press.
The how-to website, eHow, was founded by Courtney Rosen and
Kristen Sager, after meeting in an entrepreneurial class at UCLAs
Anderson School of Management (Cleland). Another well-known how-to
site is wikiHow, founded by Jack Herrick in January of 2005 with the
financial help of Josh Hannah and the engineering work of Travis
Derouin. This site, inspired by the success of Wikipedia, is a
collaborative writing project to build the worlds largest, highest quality
how-to manual (Herrick). Jack Herrick, and partner Josh Hannah,
bought eHow when the site was going bankrupt, but Jack was
disappointed that the eHow model of hiring professional writers and
editors would ultimately fail to produce the extensive how-to manual
that he envisioned, and thus began wikiHow. Jack sold eHow to

Demand Media in May 2006 and now the sites are no longer affiliated
(Pack).
How-to articles have been dominating Internet culture. According
to an article on Keans library database, eHow offers how tos on over
5,000 topics (Cleland). Sager insists that because how-to websites
reach consumers earlier on in the purchase decision, [how-to
websites] are usually an attractive partner for marketers (Cleland).
WikiHow, which brings in approximately 10 million visitors per month,
uses a community of 75,000 volunteer editors dedicated to improving
how-to content (Herrick). WikiHow uses several different categories
with a total of 16,700 articles, where you can find tips on almost any
project (Pack). Jack Herrick, founder of wikiHow, insists wiki content is
inherently better because volunteer writers are passionate about their
topics and we allow anyone to continuously edit articles (MacManus).
According to the Social Media textbook we used this semester in
class, a case study discusses the importance of titles to grab a readers
attention in order to read your article. People who write any article to
be published on a website, including how-to authors, you must pay
attention to the power of title writing (Barker, p. 127). This case study
proves you need a powerful title to get people to click on your how-to
article. As an author of a how-to article, you must ask questions like
What titles grab your attention and make you want to read the
article (Barker, p. 127). WikiHow also now included a Mediawiki

extension to allow wikiHow to advance by incorporating video tutorials


to their sites. The result is to aim to make the how-to manual the best
that it can be by innovating it with video tools and to better leverage
the collaborative, open content and wiki nature of our site (Herrick).
To summarize, how-to articles are being more important to
further the convenience of online tools. As a matter of fact, there have
been over 200,00 how-to articles written to date just on wikiHow,
thats over 200,000 authors from all over the world contributing to
Internet (wikiHow: About wikiHow). The world seems smaller and
more connected with the help of content like how-to articles on the
web, which have the potential to make everyones lives a little bit
easier, one step at a time.
