Writing for Examiner.com Earnings Update
As I’ve written in an earlier post, I’m writing as a contributor for Examiner.com. I’m writing as a local contributor which means that I receive incentive pay when my articles are approved as local content.
Examiner.com Local Incentive Pay Program
- Receive pay based revenue generated from page views
- Receive $1 for each article approved as local content. (Minimum of 2 articles to maximum of 5 per week)
- A week is Sunday to Saturday
- Articles should be 200-400 words
Local article suggestions
- Articles that highlight people, places, businesses, and events
- Stories about people of local and/or national interest that are from your local area
Tip! Although very easy to write, unfortunately you will not get local incentive pay for recipe articles.
To see if your articles were approved as local, you have to go to My Content. Click on an article and then click on Edit Article. Scroll to the bottom of the article and look for Review Status. Below is a screenshot of what an approved local article would show.
So for November 2011, I wrote 10 articles.
10 articles – 1 declined for local = 9 approved local articles x $1 incentive pay = $9
I earned $7.88 for page views earnings, so my total payment should be $16.88 for November.
However, my Paypal payment was $14.89. I’m still not sure why it’s lower.
