An Examiner is someone in a local market who enjoys informing others about subjects they love. They are the backbone of Examiner.com, they are magazine writers, bloggers, housewives, Ph.Ds, college students and others.
The common link between them is that they talk about their knowledge in useful ways. You know these kind of people:
they get others excited about their topics and share their knowledge in a fun, useful non-pompous way.
They are not bloggers, but Examiners, which means they look closely at topics and examine every aspect of them.
Together they form a pool of credible knowledge that has become a local guide to a city through their expertise. In
essence, our Examiners create the local knowledge, because by living and doing their thing in their city, they can
offer the best insider information.
That's where we come in. On their own, their blog or general knowledge reaches only a small number of people, but when added to our large network of individuals, we are able to share that information to greater numbers of people online.
They examine in 60 cities through 25 categories and cover thousands of topics. They talk about politics in general and get as specific as scooter riding in Denver.
If you can write three concise, timely and relevant posts each week in your topic of choice, then we want to hear from you. Just picture it now: your name in lights all over your city. Your mom will be so proud.
Oh, and we'll pay you for it. A little at first, but as your page views grow over time, so will your ability to make more.
Sound good? Then click the Apply Now button below. We'll ask you some questions and get some information we need to
process your application, including the city in which you'd like to contribute and the category you think is most
relevant. Not sure? Pick one and we can work with you later on getting it right. For example, if you want to be the
Yoga Examiner in Des Moines, you will choose your edition: Des Moines and your category: Fitness. Your topic may have appeal in more than one category, but choose the one you think it fits into best.
It'll take you a minute or two to fill out the form, and once you submit it to us, we'll be in touch with the next step to get you up and examining your city.
We can't wait to share your knowledge with the world!
Excited to be an Examiner? You'll join hundreds — and soon, thousands — of others who have accepted our call for local knowledge. And it's really pretty simple, too.
