Style & Fashion Experts Wanted

Examiner.com, a Quantcast Top 100 website, is growing and looking for freelance content contributors (we call them “Examiners”) to share local insights, knowledge and experience about style and fashion related topics. It’s a great way to cover what you love and communicate what’s happening in your city, as well as supplement your income.

Some hot topic titles we’re eager to fill include:

  • Bridal Fashion Examiner
  • Celebrity Style Examiner
  • Green Fashion Examiner
  • Makeup Examiner
  • Men's Skincare Examiner
  • Spa Treatments Examiner
  • Tattoo Designs Examiner
  • And many others to choose from or you can propose your own topic to write about!

To better understand what an Examiner does, click on the following to visit current Examiners' pages:

Examiners often become the "go-to" people in their topics and have appeared on local, national, and international media, including The Today Show, NPR, E!, CNN, Fox Sports, ESPN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Discovery Channel, The Wall Street Journal, and other television, radio and print after writing articles for Examiner.com. A couple examples of our National Examiners include bestselling author John Gray (National Mars Venus Relationships Examiner) and celebrity reporter Robin Leach (National Luxe Life Examiner).

What is an Examiner?

  • Credible, passionate, and knowledgeable writers and subject matter experts who contribute unique and original content to entertain, inform, and inspire their readers
  • Photographers who provide captivating images and slideshows for their audience
  • Local insiders and influencers who provide reliable intelligence and resources on local and category-specific topics
  • Active within their communities
  • From all walks of life and professions, including Pulitzer nominees and professional journalists, college students, civil servants, retirees, musicians, magazine editors, stay-at-home parents or PhDs.

Why Become an Examiner?
  • Work freelance & telecommute on your own schedule
  • Build your audience and enhance your resume
  • Creative freedom to choose what to cover within your selected topic
  • Enjoy ancillary perks of being the “go to” expert on your topic.
  • We provide the platform, promotion, training, tools and an exclusive networking system to connect with other writers/photographers
  • Competitive pay based on standard internet variables including page views, unique visitors, session length, and advertising performance, so your income grows as your readership grows
  • Additional income opportunities through incentive programs such as the Examiner Referral Program
  • Join the largest team of vetted content contributors online and showcase your content on a site with over 14 million monthly unique visitors.

Although this is not a "quit your day job" kind of opportunity, Examiners can definitely earn some extra cash while gaining exposure through their writing and growing their online presence.

Qualifications

  • Passion for the topic!
  • Strong writing ability including style, technique, spelling, punctuation, etc.
  • Access to timely, accurate information within their topic
  • Ability to keep their homepage current, which usually means publishing a minimum of three to four brief articles per week depending on the topic
  • Desire to build their readership, understand their audience, and be the expert
  • Technically savvy; able to learn and utilize web/publishing tools
  • Keep in mind that unlike blogging and journaling platforms, Examiner.com focuses on providing reliable information, resources and education; therefore, writing sample submissions should be from a reporting perspective rather than first person narratives.
