Be a Guide at About.com
About.com has always provided internet users with valuable information in a range of subjects. The writers or guides have helped thousands of users in a variety of topics. If you have the talent or an expert on your own filed then About.com has an available job for you as a Guide.
All About.com Guides are freelancers who work online and set their own schedules, giving them the flexibility to log on from anywhere in the world and work at a time that is best for them. With no timesheets to fill out and no timecards to punch, working for About.com gives you the flexibility to write when you want and determine for yourself how successful you want to be.
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 on your topic, whether it is work created by you or links to other sites
- A discussion forum where you serve as community leader
How do Guides get compensated?
The basis of Guide compensation is year-over-year page view growth. As of 1/1/07, if your page views grow you will never make less than $725 per month and it’s likely you’ll make much more than that over time (in some cases we have Guides who earn in excess of $100,000 per year).
