Freelance Travel Writers
At Cruise Bruise, unlike our competitors, all of our freelance writers get one article per week, minimum. We want our visitors to like you, to follow you and come back weekly to see what you have written new this week. Writers with excellent content may be offered more than one assignment per week.
Our major competitor in the travel writer field, Internet Brands Inc, is the industry standard for freelance travel content. Getting assignments from them weekly is uncommon. In addition, we pay double their rate.
Our competitor's posted rate:
"The compensation is a flat rate per article with a word range that may differ with each content order. Long articles, which are 400-600 words, will be paid $10. Short and medium length articles (150-250 words) will be paid $4."
We have new openings for travel writers as follows:
