Make Money By Becoming a Creative Reporter?
Creative Weblogging has a new project called Creative Reporter. And, according to the site:
Creative Reporter is your online reporter desk that allows you to share and contribute news with the audience of Creative Weblogging. In exchange all contributors will be mentioned when published and rewarded based on their contributions Page Views (actually US$10 for 1,000 Page Views). As a reporter you will get access into our newsroom and see statistics incl. comments on your contribution.
You may submit text, video and audio content - wherever you see a fit.
Darren Rowse of ProBlogger seems to think that US$10 per 1,000 pageviews is “a decent pay.” But, admittedly, I’m a bit lost on what it really means to “have 1,000 pageviews.” Is it 1,000 pageviews accumulative of all submissions, per blog entry or per submission?
It’s also a bit strange to see that audio and video will be paid the same way as text. For someone who’s been creating multimedia content for weblogs, I must say that it is a LOT harder to create audio than text. And, video’s definitely the toughest. And, audio and video aren’t exactly as easy to track when it comes to “real views” (unless they can easily count downloads, etc. too).
In any case, I’ll let you know if there’s anything else I learn about this project.

its for readers who do not want to commit to a whole blog but have interesting news to share. i have had submissions from regular readers of my parenting-weblog.
1000page views PER submission, obviously.
reporters have the option to track page views.
as for payment for audio, video… as far as I know, all the other blogs have just about the same payment rate. I think the intention of CW is to NOT limit the entries to just text.
