About.com is Hiring… Minimum $725 a month
About.com is seeking part-time writer-experts to serve as Guides for About.com, a subsidiary of the New York Times Company. As a Guide, you’ll build and maintain a GuideSite, a topical section of About.com that contains:
* Original content (articles, reviews, FAQs, tutorials) written by you
* A blog featuring your unique voice and personality
* A directory of the best content in your topic…
* A discussion forum where you serve as community leader
* A bio page with your contact info
All About.com Guides are considered freelancers who work online and set their own schedules, giving them the flexibility to log on from anywhere in the world whenever they have the time. With no timesheets to fill out and no timecards to punch, working for About.com gives you the flexibility to write when you want, even if you have a full-time day job.
The compensation is based on page views - the more traffic you get, the more money you get. But all Guides, no matter what, make a minimum of $725 a month.

Talk about a sweet gig! Thanks for the info, clearly a great opportunity for anyone seeking a job online. Hopefully someone jumps on this ASAP, I imagine you would have to have a pretty impressive resume to land the gig though

The “writer-expert” is the catch phrase here, “expert?”
Nonetheless, great online job, not extremely demanding. Sounds less difficult than the free blogs we’re running.

YOM >> I was thinking the same thing about the resume. If my writing skills were up to par… I’d really be trying to get that job!
Crystal >> Thanks Crystal. I’m going to keep posting away
Shelia >> I don’t know about expert, lol. They hired someone off a board I posted on in the past for a computer game channel… and that person was definitely not an expert. He did have very well written articles though. I wonder if still works for them…
It’s probably better than running our blogs. But we like blogging, lol.
