Topics at About.com vary according to need.  As I write this, About.com is looking for experts on Boston, Mountain Biking, Crochet, Camcorders and more. There are about 40 listings at the site. To see the list click here; current Guide need list.  This list changes often, so keep checking back to find a topic that is right for you.

If you find a topic you are an expert in, the application process is explained in the Be a Guide  section. The blue links on the left explain the FAQ’s, Application process etc to walk you through the steps of becoming a guide. You will need to include your work history, qualifications, writing samples etc.

Once you have applied, your application is reviewed. This process may take several weeks. If selected you then go into “prep”. In the “prep” stage you will compete against up to 5 other candidates for the same topic. You will develop a site on the topic and the best overall candidate will become the About.com guide for that topic.

It’s very competitive to become a guide at About.com but the financial rewards and opportunity to share your experise with others is excellent!
