Travel Experts Needed for Examiner.com

If you are passionate about travel and want to provide your local community with useful information about your passion, then Examiner.com wants to speak with you.

Examiner.com is rapidly becoming the online destination for local information, news and events in 60 major markets across the country. Examiner.com’s unique content is contributed by passionate people like you, known as Examiners. Writers at heart, they use words and pictures to inspire and inform, to open dialogues, and to help people tackle everyday challenges.

Informed, reliable, helpful, entertaining and authentic, Examiners are everyday people from a variety of backgrounds and professions. They are college students, civil servants, and retirees, PhDs, musicians, magazine editors and stay-at-home parents. Examiners are your helpful neighbors and local leaders. They are credible resources -- the "go to" experts -- for local information, news, and events. Most Examiners have full-time or part-time jobs, or are full-or-part time students.

This is not a full-time job. Examiners are independent contractors. This allows them to choose what to write about and when. They write from home, school, or wherever they want. They publish a minimum of four articles per week. Examiner.com does not expect lengthy articles. Frequent, brief posts bring people back and lead to increased page views – an important key to success!

Examiners are paid based on a set minimum rate, or "floor," per 1,000 page views, this floor can fluctuate based on advertising and marketing gains.

Examiner.com provides the training and tools you need to publish and promote your articles. The more familiar you are with Web-based publishing (things like HTML, and uploading photos and video), the faster it should go.

As an Examiner you will have a great opportunity to inform others about a subject you love and to promote yourself and, we hope, further your career.

We are looking for Examiners in all major cities. If the idea of becoming an Examiner excites you, please set aside 20 minutes and go to

http://www.examiner.com/assets/joinexaminer.html?cid=recruiting-jobboard-travelwriters-various-jmp

to tell us how you as an Examiner can add value to your community.

Have other interests or know someone else that would make an excellent Examiner? We're also recruiting for the following subjects:

1. Arts and Entertainment 2. Autos 3. Bars and Clubs 4. Business 5. Community 6. Education 7. Family 8. Fitness 9. Food and Drink 10. Games 11. Health 12. Home and Living 13. Jobs 14. News 15.

Not as much as you'd make by doing it for yourself.

And what is the definition of major city? (Actually the money doesn't look any worse than several others that pay for posts--but that's the subject for another thread.)

The "Examiner" is a formerly fine newspaper, which was sold by Hearst when he acquired the SF Chronicle, run into the ground by a local family, and then sold to Anschutz, a rightwing Christian fundamentalist. The "paper," which is now published in a few cities, is a POS.

Don't walk, run from this "opportunity."

Why does everyone expect everything for nothing? Most of the listing I've seen here baasically expect you to donate your services. I've never seen a well paying listing on this site.

Markets that pay well get all the submissions they want--or possibly more than they want. Why would they go out of their way to solicit queries on a public forum?

"Examiners are paid based on a set minimum rate, or "floor," per 1,000 page views, this floor can fluctuate based on advertising and marketing gains"

Is this a CPC rate or a PV rate? Can you tell us a little more about the publication?
