World Travel Direct FAQ
Q I recieved a message from Jane Richardson on Myspace: Just trying to see if you'll actually respond to this or if you're a clever little spam.
A No spam we are genuinely looking for good travel writers who want to earn some money through Google Adsense ads on this site, see banner above.
Q Hi Jane, As long as this is truly a legitimate way of earning money and I could be paid via paypal, i would certainly be interested in discussing this opportunity further. I have travelled to about 13 countries outside the U.S. and to over 40 states, and would be interested in writing some articles, as I am a writer by trade! I will check out your site for some more information, and let me know what else I need to do in terms of submitting work to you.
A Legit,yes totally (but you must not click your own ads). The system we have in place at the moment is that you set up a Google Adsense which can either pay by US$ check or into bank accounts, this is purely between you and Google, so whatever they say goes:)
Q Hello! Yeah, I think that'd be something I'd be interested in. I'll check out the site, is there anything else you can tell me?
A It's very early days and we just want a handful of authors so, let us know you are interested by using the form in the top corner of the site and we will let you know as things develop.
Q love writing about my travels. anyway to make it a check instead of direct deposit?
A Sure you are paid by Google, so they can send a dollar check every month (providing you earn over $100), they are superbly on time too
Q If the $ does not reach $100 at the end of each month, the $50 or whatever you earn will be carried to next month?
A Of course! Click the Adsense banner above or at the bottom of the page to find out more.
Q I am actually interested in doing it.
I can write about my past, present and future travel stories, right? I also take a lot of pictures, so can I add pictures with the articles I write?
I am currently in Japan, but in Aug I am moving to San Fran, so that is going to be another trip. I also just visited nice hot spring place last month for vacation and am planning to travel bit more of Japan before I leave here in Aug.
How can I involved in this?
A You can write about anything travel related, space travel if you like:). You can add pictures easily, but we have found the best way for people like yourself is to store them on Flickr and you can then set it up so that you can look at a photo and then say 'blog this' which then creates a post which you can edit and add to.
Q How do I get my photos to appear in that sidebar?
A Upload them to Flickr and tag them with wwwworldtraveldirectcouk and the most recent ones will automatically be there and will link to your Flickr account.
