Our writers also have written dozens of books and a few smartphone apps. Read more about our experts here.

We bring to the job three years of owning and operating local On the Cheap websites throughout the United States and Canada. Collectively, we publish more than 30 local and specialty sites aimed at helping people enjoy life without breaking the bank. You can find details about our local sites here.

Are you an entrepreneurial cheapskate in a city that does not have an On the Cheap site? We’re looking for new publishers to help grow our network. The most successful candidates have a background in journalism or marketing, but our publishers have a variety of professional experience.

In addition to seeking publishers to start new sites, we’re looking for publishers to take over existing sites in:
