There are literally hundreds of publications in the market for pieces like these: short articles reviewing a great restaurant, an outstanding little B&B, an unbeatable travel deal, and so on. info@contestguru.com (Blair Howard) Sat, 27 May 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://proofpositive.com/articles/385/1/Start-Up-a-Travel-Photography-Business/Page1.html Too many people have the idea that being paid to take photographs of exotic places is the ideal job. It may take years of effort to be paid by magazines such as the National Geographic, but are there better ways to become a travel photographer. As most people have more leisure time, more holiday time, and more disposable income, the demand for travel photographs has increased dramatically. Not only are they in demand for travel brochures, but they're also used extensively in other advertising copy. admin@proofpositive.com (Roy Barker) Thu, 23 Feb 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://proofpositive.com/articles/383/1/Get-Paid-To-See-The-World---Become-a-Travel-Writer/Page1.html How Do You Become a Travel Writer?

They learn about the amusements, the attractions, and the little secrets of the towns, cities, and countries they visit. Then, they provide this knowledge to the general public in the form of articles, books, or even transcriptions. It is amazing that many people go from location to location by simply learning about different areas and using this knowledge to write. But, this work is far from easy. It may be costly to afford to do this type of traveling. It often does not pan out as a worthwhile adventure anyway. It is often difficult to find publishers or employment vacancies in this area as well. info@proofpostive.com (Niall Cinneide.) Thu, 26 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://proofpositive.com/articles/255/1/Earn-While-You-Burn---Travel-Writing-Tips/Page1.html I don't know how lucrative travel writing is but it sure is fun! I haven't written a lot of travel pieces and I usually don't set out with that particular market in mind. For the most part, the pieces I've sold have been the result of something I stumbled upon that piqued my interest while doing something else. info@proofpositive.com ( Brad Swift) Thu, 26 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://proofpositive.com/articles/254/1/Travel-Journals---How-To-Keep-A-Travel-Journal/Page1.html Keeping a travel journal is a simple task and worth its weight in gold. It is a given that you will forget funny little events as the years pass. I've lived and/or traveled in over 40 countries and forgotten more than I care to admit, which is how NomadJournals.com came into being. There is nothing worse than reminiscing with a friend and not remembering what the heck they are talking about. This need not be the case. info@proofpositive.com (Rick Chapo) Thu, 26 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0600
