Do you consider yourself an expert in a certain field that you can write about? If so, About.com might be for you. About.com is a New York Times company that is ALWAYS looking for writers (Guides) to write articles and maintain a site for a particular subject.
About.com offers a guaranteed monthly income of $725.00 for the first two years while Guides build their visitors, and bonuses are given for meeting their growth criteria. On average, a Guide in his or her first two years will make $1,000 a month. The average Guide compensation is around $2,000 a month, and they have Guides who earn more than $100,000 a year.
Guides can work from anywhere and whatever hours they choose. They do have minimum requirements they must meet such as writing a minimum of (4) articles a month.
They are constantly looking for new Guides to write on new and existing subjects. To name a few of the many topics they are currently looking to cover are: bead working, flea markets and yard sales, German language, corvettes, colon cancer, El Paso, LA, volleyball….a wide variety of topics.

Accepted Guides will go through a training process. The following is what they look for in potential Guides:
Writing Ability: A strong writer whose content is not only informative and factual, but compelling enough to make you want to read more.
Web Formatting Comprehension: Someone who grasps the idea of formatting for the web (whether from prior experience or from our training materials).
Topic Expertise: An expert in the topic with the knowledge to be able to cover the basics with ease and the passion to research anything they don't already know.
Desire to Educate: A teacher who can communicate the basics of the topic to a neophyte audience in a way that's not only easy for a novice to understand, but interesting too.
Passion: Someone whose love for the topic motivates them to see being a Guide as an opportunity to write in-depth about something they love. Writing for About.com is a long-term investment of time and energy, and the ones who do best are those treat the job as a labor of love.
I feel this is awesome opportunity for most wanting to make some extra, steady income from home that could lead to generating a significant income…still without leaving home…TOO COOL!!!
