March 2010 Assignment: Write an article, make some $$
I would like to get some high-quality content out there for nonrev.net

This month, I need 2-5 articles. Both articles will need to fit these requirements:
- Somewhere between 600-1000 words
- High Quality, Well Written, No Spelling or Grammar Errors
- Informative, and contains information, facts, figures, or other information that's not obvious to the average non-revver
- Must not be spammy, or an advertisement for someone's service, website, etc.
Topics to choose from:
- What is a ZED Fare?
- Tips for Traveling Nonrev on [Specific Airline Here]
- Helpful Websites for Interline Travel
I'm also open to you pitching a different topic in this thread, but make sure we agree before you get started.

How much will you make?

I'll pay between $30-$60 per article, depending on wordcount and quality.

Post in the thread to claim dibs on a topic. Once we agree, I'll pay you when you deliver the article to me via email.

DO NOT POST ARTICLES IN THE THREAD ( or anywhere else public...search engines hate duplicate content, and I have a specific place I'm going to post them )

I'll take "Tips for travelling nonrev on Qantas". I'll also take "Tips for travelling nonrev on Jetstar" if I'm allowed 2 articles - happy to put into 1 but it will be long as both are very different? Please let me know by email :)

I'm going to stick with two articles for March, and see how it works out. If things go well, I'll post new ones for April.

If you ever need more topics, I'd be open to writing something about unique North American destinations :-) What about a "my home town" series... a different contributor each month that can provide a brief overview of what their particular city/region has to offer non-revvers? There's enough of us from different areas...

Is this running in April? I'd be happy to do nonrevving on Cathay Pacific into/out of Hong Kong... let me know. I was away in March :(

I'll post something soon...been pretty busy. These are all good topics, but I need topics with very broad appeal for the ones I'm paying for.

So, something like a more general "Nonrev Guide to Hong Kong" would work.

Tips for travelling nonrev on Qantas doesn't have the broadest appeal...

So when you say a nonrev guide to Hong Kong are you talking info about the airport and the city? Or do you mean nonrevving on CX and other carriers? I could easily do nonrevving on CX and tips about visiting the city and tips about the airport in general, but i've never nonrevved on OAL ex HKG so wouldn't know any of their procedures.

The former interests me so let me know. When I settle into SIN i'd be interested in doing one about there too.

Haha I haven't frequented one myself, but some people at work have recommended one to me. Might need some suits before I ship off to SIN... won't need the jacket half though

Yes...was thinking something like that. Airport tips, city tips, etc. That would be of interest to anyone doing a nonrev trip to HKG.

On the broad appeal part, I just meant that "flying [specific carrier] to [specific destination]" was pretty narrow. Nonrev tips for a specific carrier is broad enough, as is covering a specific destination. But, if you put them together, it gets pretty narrow. Not to say it wouldn't be interesting. And the post would be appreciated. Just not something I would pay for.

Fair point, I can see where y'all are coming from.

I'm not that interested in the $ really, i'll do one on Hong Kong / HKG / CX for free sometime soon

OOH- London/ Dublin for non-Revs for cheaper. I do like the "My Home town" as Seattle has some very interesting places and is very friendly transport wise...

Delta - yes we go there.

Roach Motels, Non revs get in, but you can't get out - how to avoid them

What's Krabi like? I've heard a lot of people I know have planned on going but never asked them how it was? Will be easy for me to get to when I move to SIN

More mush from the wimp

Greetings Mr. or Ms. Admin, as the case may be:

I am 40-year international journalist who took a part-time airline CSR job in my dotage. My extensive background includes reporting/editing here, there, and everywhere around the globe. I've reported from many countries and headed the editorial staff at several newspapers. In addition, I have a bulging portfolio of travel writing.

As a devotee -- now -- of ZED travel, I'd love to be considered for any and all assignments.

Thanks and regards

My nom de web is Scoop. (Get it?)
