Covering thousands of topics across hundreds of cities and towns, Examiners are freelance writers and photographers who come from all walks of life and contribute unique and original content to entertain, inform, and inspire their readers. Examiners are credible, passionate and knowledgeable local influencers.

Examiners serve as independent contractors, allowing them to choose what, where and when to write about within their chosen topic. They write from home, school, or wherever inspiration strikes. Successful Examiners publish a minimum of 2-5 brief, informative articles per week. Although this is not the kind of opportunity where you can quit your day job, Examiners can definitely earn some extra cash while gaining exposure through their writing and growing online presence. Examiner.com provides access to tools that help them grow their audience and brand as well as forums where they can connect with other Examiners and subject matter experts.
