Travel Writers, Check Out Matador

We’re living in an interesting generation, where people (the 99%’ers of Occupy Wall Street) are protesting in the streets. They’re screaming that there are no jobs and yet those with the desire to work hard and push for their passions are succeeding professionally, and making good money too. Although the economy is terrible right now, technology is improving every day and so therein lies a pocket of jobs waiting to be tapped into.

Do you like to write? Do you like to travel? Would you like to make money doing both? These are easy questions to answer, right?

Fellow writers, check out Matador. This is an independent media company that serves a worldwide community of writers and bloggers who love to live and travel. The company launched in 2006 and has been quite successful. They have evolved into a cross-platform social media phenomenon as their audience has numbered in millions.

Why? Because, quite simply, there are a lot of technologically capable people out there who are travel hungry and seek to fulfill wanderlust. The company states that they are deeply concerned about the well-being of the planet. They place environmentalism and cultural conservation at the top of their list of priorities. So therefore, they seek contributors who travel with the right mindset. The idea is that these writers will utilize technology to share their experiences with others, allowing for people from different parts of the world to connect and see how others are making a difference on the planet.

Contributors in the past have provided award-winning articles and travel photography. Do you think you have what it takes? Review the contributor guidelines and expectations here.
