Boost Your Income: 50+ ways to bring in extra cash…
September 24, 2010 | 
Author If you love jetting off to foreign lands, its possible to regale people with your holiday tales and get paid for doing it! Travel review site, SimonSeeks.com, promises to reward users by passing on half of the net revenue its paid by advertisers.
Simply write a destination guide and post it on the site. The SimonSeeks editorial team will then check it over, and other users will rate it. After people start clicking through to advertising links on your page, the site will pay you by Paypal, as and when the cash comes in.
As a rule, the more up-market the accommodation and longer the stay, the bigger the advertising earnings.
How to write a winning guide
Guides must be between 400 and 1000 words. They can cover everything from romance and family fun to long-haul adventures. But the more informative and easy-to-read the guide, the higher rating it will get, and the more cash it will bring in.
What should you write about? Rather just picking country, choose a specific angle, eg, not just France but The five best budget hotels in Paris. Favourite destinations, such as Italy, will be well-covered, so think of a particular aspect that nobody else has covered. Are you a bird geek or a train nerd? Choose about something youre passionate about, and can add knowledge to.
When writing, be specific mention particular places, name hotels and explain why they are a good place to stay, describe the food and ambience in the restaurants you recommend. In fact, think about what youd want to read if you were going. SimonSeeks research shows that guides with photos are more popular, so include some snaps from your jaunt.
How much? The site launched on 18 June 2009, but has big financial backing and if it takes off, guides with a high rating could earn 5p-20p a view, so popular guides could earn 100s. By being an early adopter, your guide is likely to be in better place to build up status.
