I may have mentioned this before, but I was recently promoted from a regular Yahoo! Contributor to a Featured Contributor. What does that mean exactly? Instead of just getting paid for the number of page views an article gets (which is pennies per click), I now get an upfront payment plus pay per view click payments. It also means I have to write three articles a month for Yahoo in order to keep this paid gig.
Now, I will never get rich off of these articles (three total less than $50 per month), but it is great practice for me and it helps me accrue more clips so that I can eventually do a lot more travel writing. Ideally, I would love to travel once a month to somewhere new--actually it doesn't have to even be a new place, just somewhere different--and write about it. I like it all--descriptions, narratives, itineraries, opinion pieces, all of it.
I think this partially comes from my constant hunt for knowledge. But I also just love trying new things, seeing new things, doing new things.
Anyway, on Tuesdays, I will start sharing links to my travel articles, like this one:
A Frequent Visitor's Guide to Charleston, South Carolina
Let me know where your favorite travel locations have been, and if I have been there, I will write about it (or put it on my "to go to" list!).
