I started writing for the Examiner about three years ago and it started out great. There were always issues with over-zealous editors who were critically picky about every small mistake, like paragraphs too short or too long or capitalizing Boston Marathon when they said you should write it as Boston marathon, etc.
Once I got over the slaps in the face and my readership picked up, I was bringing in an easy $85 a month, but in 2013 things started changing for the worse. Pop up adds were everywhere. I wrote an article on Christianity and morality and up pops a half naked picture of a breasty woman at the beach... really?!
I got ad blocker and never had to see or hear the automatic video pop-ups, so all was good on that front, but then they took away the community share page because all anyone did was say how badly Examiner.com stunk and so they stopped us from communicating with each other and then about six months later, they took away our local email-able editors and refused to respond to questions and made submitting tickets as difficult as submitting photographs.
Everything about writing for them became painful. They tried to get you to use their pictures and not your own. They limited the number of photos you could use and made you fill out a separate form for each photograph and stacked them in a slideshow rather than let you place them next to the content which told you more about the photos.
They are now removing articles and forcing long-time writers to submit to reviews again and saying that they do not want writers to publish anything over 1100 words.
They used to offer incentives where they would list titles for your area and if you claimed the title you got an automatic $2 to $5 added to your pay, but now, although they say they still offer this service, when you click to see what they have, it is almost always empty.
Basically this is a company that started out good, but is now nothing more than a sensation driven pop up add revenue machine.
They do not promote your articles unless they are sensation driven and they leave up old content for five or more years and promote it over new content.
They also do not tell you how well your article is doing or how many people click on it so you have no idea what you are really earning and they are currently wiping out the histories of past earnings so you have nothing to compare them to.
They really work hard at making writers feel little and unappreciated and it will be surprising if they survive another two years.
Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere if you want to make a fair living off your on-line writing.
This company does not make it easy for you to succeed and is user unfriendly, always changing to benefit themselves and hurt writers. I think it is time for me to bail. They had a good thing going, but I think the good went and the bad is now the norm.
