What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?
Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

LOL! I'd think you'd look much more dashing in your orange suit, Allan.
Seriously, my sister has just undergone mindbending training to write and post for About.com, for which I understand she'll make about $700/mo. for (I believe) one article and two blog posts per week. Anybody have experience writing for About.com?
I started writing for Examiner more than two years ago, before the phrase 'content mill' was invented, when I was writer number #1995 to be 'hired'. I was -- and am still -- a National, not a local, writer, with a slightly higher pay scale than newer and/or locals like Linda. Was making decent -- never great -- money. The operating word is 'was'.
Now they have 40thou-plus writers, at least 50 of whom are covering the same subject as I do, and have lowered the payment per PV for everybody. Plus, they changed the CMS recently, so in addition to the new system being more complicated and time consuming, I can no longer cross-link to any of my 200 plus articles posted under the 'old' system, which the new system does not recognize. That further reduces PVs, and income.
More -- I just got an email that there is yet another new pay scale being introduced, which now will be based on an obtuse algorithm combining the number of postings per week with PVs, subscribers and trackable 'marketing" to everything from FB to Farq. Enough said.
I do Outdoor Days in L.A. on Examiner to help raise my visibility as a writer. I am also in Real Estate and my days are a good community outreach. I view the Examiner site as a springboard and free advertising not a source of revenue per se.It would be nice to get paid more for my efforts, but I have not been pressured by the site to produce more content than feels comfortable for me, so I am okay with it for now!
