I was just accepted as a energy technologies writer for the National Examiner. I have only been writing for about 3 days but I can tell you the money is quick. I was surprised when I logged on this morning to see that I've passed the $10 mark already, and I'd say by tomorrow it'll be way much more than that. I was worried about getting the gig, so i wrote my application and edited it a bit. Writing for the Examiner is really fun, and earnings are updated in real time. You can view some of my articles here.
The Examiner pays you for every hit you get to one of your articles, so you don't have to worry about keywords too much. I say "too much" because you want to put keywords in, but aren't too worried about the CPC. The application process was quick, I got a reply within 2 days although I've heard it can take up to 2 weeks. They want you to write at least 4 articles a week, but if oyu want to make money you might as well publish more often. I'm taking my eHow work ethic to the Examiner and am writing about 2 a day.
Another good thing abut the Examiner is they encourage links, so if you can do some affiliate marketing, there is some big income potential there too. I would love to read your application before you apply because I have an idea of what they are looking for. Also, please use my name as a referral when you apply, it's at the bottom of the application. Leave a comment or email me with your application and I'll edit it for you if you'd like.
If you're thinking about applying with them, and I would, just browse the positions open. There is a national edition and a local edition for each city. I chose national because I figured I would get more eyes, but you can do two spots, picking up the second after about 2 months.
Cross promotion helps, so you can link articles together, or find places to put your links. I found a news site that lets users submit articles for energy news, and I'm sure that's helping my views. Later I'm going to focus on affiliate marketing.
