For anyone who has ever dreamt of becoming the next great travel writer should check out a website just launched in the UK.
Simonseeks.com, which is the brainchild of Moneysupermarket.com founder Simon Nixon, invites travel writers to submit destination reviews from places they have visited.
Independently written articles or User Generated Content (USG) are nothing new in the travel industry (that’s what Trip Advisor is essentially about). However sites like this are becoming increasingly popular as travellers are looking for more information before they book a break. For example you can read from thousands of independent hotel reviews made by customers before you book on www.hotelopia.co.uk.
Writers will receive a revenue share based on the amount of clicks made on their Simonseek’s articles and while there are no promises that writers will become internet millionaires, payment will surely provide a great incentive for users to contribute to the website.
