About.com Seeks Health Writers

We are seeking part-time writer-experts to serve as Guides for About.com, a subsidiary of the New York Times Company. As a Guide, you'll build and maintain a GuideSite, a topical section of About.com that contains:

• Original content (articles, reviews, FAQs, tutorials) written by you
• A blog featuring your unique voice and personality
• A directory of the best content in your topic, whether it be your own work or links to other sites
• A discussion forum where you serve as community leader
• A bio page with your contact info

All About.com Guides are considered freelancers who work online and set their own schedules, giving them the flexibility to log on from anywhere in the world whenever they have the time. With no timesheets to fill out and no timecards to punch, working for About.com gives you the flexibility to write when you want, even if you have a full-time day job.

The compensation is based on page views - the more traffic you get, the more money you get. But all Guides, no matter what, make a minimum of $725 a month. Want to know more? Visit http://beaguide.about.com

Guide Openings on the Health Channel
About.com Health, which consistently ranks as a top health site according to Nielsen/NetRatings, has more than 70 health Guides who cover a range of topics from asthma to pediatrics and stroke. All new Health Guides have their work reviewed by a Medical Review Board physician and a health editor. We're currently expanding our health channel and are seeking writers for a large number of topics.

Many of our Guides are doctors or nurses with direct clinical experience in their topic, and we encourage people with direct clinical or research experience to apply.
