4 reasons to write for Examiner.com

Interact and learn from established online authors.
Basically, you'd be posting 200-450 word articles on your own Examiner page, between 3-5 times pre week (frequency is up to you.) You get paid a penny per click per article, on average, and all of your articles stay "live" for as long as you maintain the site, so you can build up a pretty nice residual over time. It starts slow, but I've been doing it for about three months and I get between 200-400 hits per day. This number should grow exponentially as my total number of articles increases.
