Examiner.com has paid this writer $25,809.47 – Not a scam website, here’s YouTube video proof of my earnings from PayPal for the legitimate work-at-home writing source

Since a few people have actually called my Examiner.com earnings bs, thank God for hinting that I could put up this YouTube.com video proof of my earnings from PayPal:

Apply to write for Examiner.com here now…

So yes, I just went through all my earnings for the first 6 months of 2010 and posted them on my Paula Mooney Blogger blog to learn that I’ve made over 25k thus far across all my sources of online income — and that was the impetus to discover how much Examiner.com has paid me from 10/1/2009 (I began writing for them in Sept 2009) thru 6/30/2010, and was pleased to find that number was over 25k as well.


Sure, some people don’t make that much writing for Examiner.com, others make more because I see other folks getting more traffic than me every day, but they don’t post their income numbers — at least, not that I’ve found online anywhere.


But I’m encouraging people to apply to write for them because it is a valid income source for writers.


Yes, in the effort of complete transparency, I do get $5 for every valid applicant that uses my CJ.com affiliate link above for those who apply to Examiner.com — and when folks search for my name “Paula Mooney” as a referrer when they apply and get accepted, I get $50 per person that meets certain criteria that escapes me right now.


At least Examiner.com is not one of those scam websites that I write about that ask for credit cards numbers and such. When I applied for Examiner, they asked for NO CREDIT CARDS, NO DEBIT CARDS, NO FEES OF ANY KIND.


They only asked for normal application info and writing samples from me — and they did a background check (not to check my credit, they said, just to make sure I didn’t have any felonies) but THEY PAID FOR THE BACKGROUND CHECK, not me.


The only reservation I have about Examiner is the fact that I’ve seen those scammy looking Pulse 360 ads running on the website — alongside valid, major advertisers.


Since I spend a lot of time warning folks against those places, it’s disheartening to see them appearing across Examiner and many other major websites across the web. It’s like this big conspiracy scam thing that feels almost inescapable at times.


But at least Google Adsense finally gave us webmasters the ability to block various subjects on my own websites, like “Get Rich Quick” categories and “Religion” stuff I might not agree with and the like. So while those Adsense number dipped, I fully expect them to surge once again because it’s the right motive and God is great and gracious and He’s shown me so many other ways to make money. More on that coming…


So anyway, the haters now have video proof, and below find photo proof from my PayPal account — thankfully a lot more people are being helped and quietly getting on Examiner.com (who’s ramping up from 33,000 to 85,000 or so writers in 2010, so get in while the gettin’ is good) and getting paid while others debate about how to do it.


I won’t lie — some days are discouraging, with me working for hours to research and write 3 or more articles and then the next day I see only 30 bucks or so earned for that day.


But then other days are amazing. Like an angel whispering in my ear what site to check, which article to write, how to check my stats and rewrite a piece — and praying for the favor of the Lord over my writing and — voila! — it hits that Google News sweet spot, the traffic flows into the tens of thousands, and the next day I see $177 or more or less in my Examiner.com pay rate for that day.


So stick with it if you’re led to do it. It takes work and patience and learning about SEO and timing and listening to heaven and reading and promoting and writing and rewriting and studying stats and knowing what works and what doesn’t and what people want to read, etc.


It’s not necessarily about throwing up one boring piece and expecting the money to flow in. Stay tuned to this blog and my YouTube channel and PaulaMooney.blogspot.com for more tips. Godspeed, Examiners.
