A Paying Market: What A Concept!
It's big news in the publishing world when somebody changes their rules and offers to pay money for travel articles. Sadly, content in our arena has become a commodity of plenty, so many outlets like Bootsnall never have paid writers for stories.
But today on Matador, a big headline, Paid Travel Writing from Bootsnall!
I think the Boots folks are going to benefit from putting out the dough, if for no other reason than writers will become very enamored of them, and submit a cascade of content their way. We have been paying writers since our inception, and we already get a huge amount of great stories and photos sent in. it's just good kharma to pay out a little bit, even if web real estate is so plentiful it doesn't command a very high price any more.
Here is the announcement on Matador.

G'Day Max,
You have a few of your facts mixed up.
1) We've had paid staff writers since 2003...currently 5.
2) We started a paid freelance program beginning as far back at 2005
The Matador Post is about "New" opportunities.
We have always had traveler submitted content. (Often known as UCG)
Cheers mate,
Sean
