Are you a travel writer looking to earn some extra income? Are you a frequent traveler that wants to document your journeys so family and friends can keep up on your latest adventures? Or are you a travel professional that is looking for exposure and/or backlinks to your travel website? If you answer yes to any of the above questions then GlobeTales.com may be exactly what you are looking for.
GlobeTales offers travelers, writers, and travel professionals a place to share their stories, earn money and promote their business. But how exactly does it work?
Adsense revenue sharing - GlobeTales, like many other sites across the nets offers a revenue split to its contributors. If you have a Google Adsense account you can submit your Adsense code and earn a percentage of the revenue that your articles brings in. The site offers a gradually increasing share in the revenue depending on the number of articles you’ve contributed:
1-20 articles = Bronze Status = 50% Adsense revenue sharing
21-50 articles = Silver Status = 60% Adsense revenue sharing
51-100 articles = Gold Status = 75% Adsense revenue sharing
100+ articles = Diamond Status = 100% Adsense revenue sharing
One thing to note is that once you jump to a higher status the revenue sharing percentage of your previous articles is not retroactive. Your first 20 articles will continue to earn 50% even if you are a Silver Status author. Every article henceforth, however, will be calculated at the new percentage.

But what if I don’t have a Google Adsense account?
Good question. There are still many benefits to writing for GlobeTales.com. First of all they allow you to include two backlinks - with the anchor text of your choice - in your article. These can be placed in the author’s resource box, or embedding directly into the body of the article. This is a great way to gain both direct exposure and build relevant backlinks to your travel website - absolutely crucial in promoting your site in these increasingly competitive times.
GlobeTales isn’t your average article directory. Travel articles, and only travel articles are allowed here. That means the site is not diluted with tons of information not relevant to your chosen niche. Visitors there are focused on travel and nothing else. Thus, even those who stumble across your article by way of another article are likely to have some interest.
Another advantage that the site has over traditional article directories is that it is built on the Wordpress platform. This has given the creators more flexibility in managing the site and making it more SEO friendly. It also gives you, the author the opportunity to spice up your articles more than usual. You can add multiple pictures as well as embed video of your trips to really make your article more interactive, thus encouraging visitors to view more of your work, or to proceed to your own travel website.
Authors who submit at least one article and send in a profile pic will be added to their rotation of featured authors. This won’t be some tiny, easy to overlook icon, but a full-sized, impossible to miss picture with a link to all your articles.
Prolific authors will also enjoy greater exposure if they can write enough to make it onto the ‘Most Published Authors’ leaderboard. If you crank out enough articles to make it to ‘Diamond’ status you’ll not only make 100% Adsense revenue on all future articles, but you’ll get another link to your articles, bringing increased exposure to your travel websites.
For travel writers who want to earn money online, GlobeTales.com Travel Articles offers an excellent opportunity to make some good money writing about what you love. What could be better than that?
