Have a read of the About the Travel Nouns Community page, if you haven’t already. If you’ve read that and still just don’t ‘get’ it, drop us a line with any specific questions (or ask to have a chat).
When you contribute to most publications, you are paid a one-time fee and they can do whatever they like with your content, for as long as they like.
We believe in shared success at Travel Nouns, and as such, our revenue-sharing model is designed to reward contributors based on the performance of their content on NounVoyage.
This innovative model has the potential to provide contributors with significantly more income in the long-term. The best part is that contributors retain ownership of their content. If they decide to remove it from NounVoyage and publish it elsewhere, they will always have that option.
While it’s true that it may take some time before contributors see significant income, particularly for those who join early on, we view this as a joint investment in our platform’s future success.
The more our community grows and the more successful NounVoyage becomes, the higher the potential for contributors to earn.
Contributors whose content attracts more readers or ranks well on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) will earn a higher share of the NounVoyage revenue.
This is a powerful incentive for creating high-quality, engaging, and SEO-friendly content.
We understand that this model may not be a fit for everyone. But for those willing to grow with us and see the value in this collaborative and mutually beneficial approach, we believe Travel Nouns and NounVoyage offer an exciting opportunity to revolutionise the way this industry does things.
Yes, but…
Don’t you love ‘yes, buts’? This one is a significant but, though…
…that money isn’t paid to a business. Instead, it will be divided between paying for running costs – including people costs – and a treasury which will be controlled by the community.
The treasury is to be used for two goals:
- To proliferate and grow Travel Nouns and NounVoyage.
- To do good things for the world – think grassroots projects in the communities we visit on our travels, environmental causes, or anything else the community comes up with. Our imaginations are our only limitation.
More details on this to come.
There is nothing to stop you from having as many websites as your heart desires.
However, we believe there will come a time when it will no longer be worthwhile to publish content anywhere other than NounVoyage.
