About

Update: It appears that my domain name is listed on the profile of an old eHow user ID that I never used. One of my readers, another former eHow user, wrote to me about wanting to re-join eHow and voice their opinion. They were not able to do so because of all the technical glitches on eHow. They kept getting thrown back to the construction page, so I changed the password and let that person use the old ID until such time as they were able to re-join through conventional means. It was not associated with a social security number, and had been created for research purposes only.

I apologize for any confusion this has caused on the forum.

Hopefully eHow will fix its chronically flawed system soon so that everyone who wants to can easily join and publish on eHow.

The Content Writer – Writing Online to Build Residual Income blog is all about sharing my own online writing experiences as a web content writer to help you learn about this residual income opportunity.  You can learn from my mistakes and successes as a web content writer to make real money online more quickly.

Before I was a web content writer I was a database developer, hence the name, “Crunchy Data.”  This site has been around for several years, but I never did much with it until I began writing online.

The eHow Zero Club Saga

My first real article writing experience for residual income online was with eHow. There were some technical glitches on the eHow site that caused the new content writers–including me–to see empty earnings statistics day after day for several weeks. We had joined eHow for its renowned residual income opportunity, only to see our hopes dashed after hours of hard work and weeks of waiting to see our residual income pile up.

Those of us on eHow who experienced watching and waiting for weeks, hoping to see even a single penny, finally formed a group called the, “Zero Club.” We banded together to make our voices heard by the eHow staff to fix what we were certain was a technical glitch in the earnings portion of the eHow database. I began blogging about my eHow experiences here on Crunchy Data just to blow off some steam. And finally one day, our earnings suddenly began appearing in our profiles.

Moving on toward better web content writing and making money online

Since then, we have been able to learn which of our articles were earning, and which were not. And we have slowly been able to learn more about why each article either earns money, or why it does not. This process has taught me a lot about how to write articles that earn good money.

I have studied SEO article writing, article marketing, and article promotion.  I have learned from other experienced eHow content writers, some of whom have been very generous with their time, support, and knowledge. I have learned from a group of content writers who I recruited to form a mutual support and learning group.

And now I can share what I have learned about writing web content for a monthly residual income with you.

The only thing I cannot share is specific information relating to our group members’ article titles, keywords, and earnings. But I can help you learn to write better content to build a monthly residual income that can eventually allow you to earn enough money to pay your mortgage and other monthly expenses–and more–even while you are on vacation. That is the beauty of the web content writing residual income opportunities available online.

So join me in this learning process by subscribing to The Content Writer in your RSS reader or by email. And let’s make money together writing content online to build a residual income that will ultimately provide each of us and our families with the lifestyle that will allow us to enjoy our lives, our friends, and our families.
