COMPENSATION:

Most people become Examiners because of the exposure they receive from being on a Top 100 Web site and the additional opportunities that result from it.​​ Examiners are independent contractors and receive competitive pay based on publishing frequency and Internet variables such as page views, reader subscriptions, session length and advertiser interest.​​ It may not be a job that will support you, but many Examiners have used their columns as springboards for further success in their field, while established writers have made their columns integral extensions of their writing lives.​​
