Description
Do you live in an area where winter sports are celebrated? Examiner.com, the fastest growing local content network in the nation, is looking for experienced online freelance writers (Examiners) to write. Examiners are passionate local insiders who come from all backgrounds but have two main traits in common - a lot of knowledge about a specific topic and solid writing ability.
DESCRIPTION:
We seek Examiners to write in our RECREATION category, focusing on one specific topic area, especially the following:
â–º Cross Country Skiing
â–º Extreme Sports
â–º Family Recreation
â–º Ice Climbing
â–º Ice Fishing
â–º Ice Skating
â–º Outdoor Gear
â–º Ski and Snow Report
â–º Skiing
â–º Sledding
â–º Snowboarding
â–º Snowmobiling
â–º Snowshoeing
â–º Telemark
â–º Weekend Warrior
Examiners write from a local perspective in the third person. This generally includes tips and useful information on upcoming events, specials/deals/promotions, vendor and product reviews, interviews, reports on national or global issues relevant to the topic along with local resources, and other topic-related articles. Examiners work from home as independent contractors and set their own pace as far as when and how often they publish. Because the level of readership and earnings success is influenced by publishing frequency, those who publish at least 3 – 5 times a week tend to build a larger and more engaged audience.

This is the ideal opportunity for you if you relate to any of the following:
â–º I'm an aspiring writer. I've been blogging for some time now but my readership isn't where I'd like it to be and sometimes I wonder if anyone is reading my posts.
â–º I'm already an established professional writer and/or author and I want another writing outlet where I have more creative freedom and where I can develop my online writing skills.
â–º I already have a job but seek something fun and stimulating to do where I can also earn extra cash, network, meet active and like-minded people, and learn new tech and media skills.
â–º I've been unemployed and don't want a big gap on my resume, but am not able to commit to anything that will prevent me from continuing my job search.
â–º I want to make a career change. I know so much but am having difficulty showcasing my knowledge to recruiters and potential employers because I lack experience.
â–º I'm not a professional writer but I am a professional in the recreation industry. I love writing and am good at it. I'd love to share what I know with others, showcase my industry, and gain exposure as the local topic expert.
