Examiner.com: Successful Reader Shares Tips and Resources

Dear Reader,

Yesterday I sent you five online blogs where you can get paid to write about your travels… or anything you like. If you missed that article, you’ll find it in our archives, here: http://www.thetravelwriterslife.com/?p=594

Here’s a note from a reader, with yet another place to get published and paid for page views and ad revenue:

Hi Lori,

I attended the San Francisco Ultimate Travel Writer’s Workshop last year. I’d like to share a success story with you and pass on an opportunity for other Great Escape Publishing alumni.

With the economy being in a downturn, I’ve found myself with a reduced work week (Mon to Thurs). So I use my Fridays to focus on writing.

I am now the Sacramento Outdoor Travel writer for Examiner.com (http://www.examiner.com/Sacramento). I’m excited to have a by-line and some street cred.

Right now, Examiner.com is looking for writers and setting up new websites in major metropolitan areas across the country. This is an online gig, with pay determined by page views.

Please let other Great Escape Publishing students know that this opportunity exists.

Thanks for all the help and support!

Right now, Examiner.com is looking to fill the following travel-related positions:

– Active Seniors Travel Examiner
– Adventure Travel Examiner
– Africa Travel Examiner
– Asia Travel Examiner
– Beaches Examiner
– Budget Travel Examiner
– Cultural Travel Examiner
– Living Abroad Examiner
– Spa Travel Examiner

And there are many more available on the site, here: http://www.examiner.com/about_examiner

When you fill out your application, you’ll need to write a brief article and a personal bio. Before you submit, let them know you were referred by Laurie Racca by clicking on “Find your Examiner” next to “I was referred by an Examiner.”
