The weirdest thing, there's a way to make a few bucks writing about what you really love. Hence is the case with Examiner.com. It's a site with content nearly fully-generated by freelance contributers in major cities across the country.
To my luck — or at least the fact it's such a niche market — I'm writing about rollerblading in San Francisco. My first piece focuses on the long history (which I kept extremely short) and influence SF has on blading since its birth.
As the "SF Roller Blading Examiner" I'm free to write as much as I'd like about aggressive blading, commuting on blades, rec skating or pretty much whatever I want so long as it deals with the wheeled booties on my feet.
My goal is to create a place for beginning skaters to look for resources to learn about skating, but mostly to put blading in mainstream media as much as possible. As a sport, we're more broke than California.
For this job, I'm paid by clicks, make sure to check out the stories as much as possible. Let's face it, San Fran is an expensive place to live.
