I started with Examiner about the same time you did, but have a fairly small local niche, so your numbers represent a distant dream! I had seen your name on the Google Wave group, but I don't think I ever saw anything that you had posted. I am delighted for your sake that you were out there making it work in a much bigger way than any of us imagined. Good for you. Even though it would be TREMENDOUS to make that kind of money, I am not in a position to write that many articles every day. I do notice increased readership when I publish frequently, and I am still learning about the whole SEO aspect, so there is plenty of room for improvement on my end to grow the numbers. Examiner certainly can bring in decent money if one is able to put all the pieces together for content, topic trending and SEO skills. It is also true that the majority won't be in the high-money category, but that is true in any field. There are the superstars who are several notches above the rest in their productivity (and thus their earnings.) Paula,

First of all, I am seriously thinking of becoming a writer on Examiner.com since I have received an invitation to do so. Secondly, I want to thank you for putting your video on the web, it is helpful for me in trying to gleen as much information as possible before I make a decision. I actually have written a book and the manuscript is currently with a publishing company. I have a contract with this publishing company and I am hoping that by this fall the book will be released. But in the interim I thought that I could write for Examiner and get some exposure and perhaps make some money at the same time. Would you recommend Examiner.com? I appreciate your response and thank you in advance for any advice. Have a terrific weekend! Rex Ms. Mooney,

Her examiner site shows that she's prolific and knows how to write for the web, which is a different beast from traditional/print writing, where you have mostly guaranteed rate. With online writing, as with most fields, if you're good and you put in the time and effort, you will succeed. You'll need to understand SEO and how to write in a way that assures your articles will be picked up by search engines and easily accessible to the folks searching for the info. However, if you're just hoping to make easy money online by publishing only 3 articles, you will likely NOT be successful and continue to wonder why you only earned 14 cents. The people being so harsh and critical of online writing sites such as Examiner.com seem - to me - similar to those who complain about weight loss products. Any of those products, diets or workout routines would probably work IF YOU FOLLOW THROUGH and put in the necessary time, effort and brainpower (research). Using a workout video for 3 days and giving up because you haven't lost 20 lbs is NEVER going to bring you to success in anything.
