About.com
This is the place for freelancers writing for About.com to congregate and discuss (I am one of you)! Plus all of the spinoffs such as Verywell.com. While it has had its ups and downs, overall About is a great company to write for as a freelancer. I have been there almost 10 years and throughout multiple changes of hands (including the New York Times ownership).
Re: About.com
How hard is it to write for About.com? I don't normally do any writing, but I'd love to break into maybe making articles, and putting my skills and expertise out there and branch a bit more.

Re: About.com
It is not hard at all, I think the hard part is getting your foot in the door. Currently I am required to write the equivalent of four 700 articles per month. Since I am in health there are additional requirements like medical review and sourcing, but still I can usually get an article done in an afternoon if not less time.
