Examiner.com Now Accepting Canadian Writers
If you’re like most Canadian freelance writers, you know of more than one source of passive writing income that you can’t take advantage of because of lack of a social security number. Up until recently, Examiner.com was one of those scenarios. But Examiner recently launched a Canadian edition. I’m the new Coronation Street Canada Examiner.
About Examiner
Examiner is a site that presents information on many topics. Guides are experts in their topic who run their own Examiner website.
The Pay at Examiner
The Examiner pay structure is based on page views and a rate that’s not published but is a combination of several things including readership / popularity. I have read about Examiners making a few pennies a day to a few thousand dollars a month.
How does Examiner.com pay?
Examiner pays you monthly via Paypal. If you earn money in the month of November and hit their minimum threshold, you’ll be paid around December 20
There is a lot of debate on various sites about whether or not the site is worth the effort but I won’t knock it until I give it a fair shake. That’s why I chose a fun topic. The soap opera I chose to write about is something that I watch for 30 minutes weekdays so to sit and write a post or two while watching my favourite show as well as getting to chat to others about it really appeals to me. If I make money at it—fantastic!

I have been wondering if Examiner is worth it. I know that a lot of writers find them helpful. Each time I sign up, I notice that the area where I love is not on the list. Now I’m moving to a place that definitely doesn’t have an examiner channel so… I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
I recommended my channel and the idea got approved. Maybe give that a try, Katherine?
