I know that a lot of people are looking for a way to supplement their income right now. Whether you are an artist or not, almost everyone has an area of expertise they could share.
You may have noticed my Examiner.com links. I started writing some articles for them in February when my friend Andrea told me about the site.
I have really enjoyed the experience so far, and I've made some good connections.
I've gotten to know John Jacobs, the president of Artfire.com, when I interviewed him.
I use local newspapers and any listings I can find to learn about art exhibitions in the Atlanta area. As I list them, I visit the various galleries' websites, so I learn a little more about the art scene in Atlanta every day. I email the galleries and ask them to add me to their show notification list. New connections are made every day.
You do get paid for Examiner posts you make. Currently, it's $10 per 1,000 page hits. It works like residual income. For example, even old articles I've written will keep earning money.
I've found that whenever I need help, the folks at Examiner are very willing and happy to help me. For example, recently I had an issue and a lady named Allison helped me. I thanked her for her help, and she emailed me back that I should let her know whenever I need help, because "it's my job to make Examiners happy." I told her I liked Pizza Hut. She replied, "I'll see what we can do ;-)"

...and Allison...I'm still waiting for that pizza!
