Sponsored Post Guidelines

  • Topic: Must be travel-related and approved by us in advance. (We’re happy to suggest a topic tailored to your link or brand.)
  • Link: Must directly relate to travel, including destinations, gear, services, or experiences, and provide clear value to travelers.
  • Link Placement: Your link cannot appear in the introduction section.
  • Anchor Text: Must not imply endorsement. Please refrain from using brand names and URLs.
  • Word Count: Minimum 1,000 words in US English. Avoid any AI jargon or overused phrases.

N.B. Articles under 1,000 words will incur an additional $25 fee, as we will need to expand the content and ensure it meets our standards for quality and depth.

To maintain quality, we limit the number of projects we take on each month. Therefore, our rates are firm. We do not offer discounts, negotiate prices, or work with resellers. Thank you for understanding.

Sponsored Link Guidelines

  • Link: Must be travel-related and relevant to the content.
  • Anchor Text: Must not imply endorsement. Brand names and URLs are not allowed.
  • Placement: We’ll suggest a relevant blog post, but links cannot be placed in the introduction section.

We only link to businesses in the travel sector. CBD, crypto, casinos, essay writing, etc., will not be considered. This keeps links relevant and avoids SEO issues from off-topic placements.

Frequently asked questions

How much do you charge for posts and links?

Current discounted rates are $100 for articles and $65 per do-follow link.

What topics are best for your sponsored content?

Our audience engages well with seasonal travel guides, 1-day and weekend itineraries, road trip plans, immersive cultural experiences, things to know before visiting, and practical travel tips. We also welcome focused articles on specific activities or attractions. Please provide your link and anchor text, and we will recommend a topic optimized for ranking and audience interest.

What are your writing guidelines?

Content guidelines require pre-approved topics and original travel-related articles of at least 1,000 words, written in US English. Guide the reader directly with a warm, friendly, and approachable second-person voice. Maintain a direct style with short paragraphs and sentence-case H2/H3 headings. Ensure factual accuracy and avoid AI-generated phrasing. Links to reputable external sites are encouraged, and food articles must adhere to our clean eating guidelines.

Can we negotiate? I’ll give you repeat orders.

Sorry, no. We are quite busy with regular clients who are willing to pay our rates—which are quite fair in the industry. If you're working with a smaller budget, consider a sponsored link.

Do you accept gambling, casino, CBD, etc., links?

We do not accept links related to sensitive industries like gambling, casinos, or CBD. Links outside the travel niche are considered individually, and we reserve the right to refuse any link at any time for any reason.

How do I pay you? Do you accept PayPal?

We invoice through PayPal, with payment due upon publication. Wise is also accepted. If an invoice remains unpaid past the due date, we will remove the link and may add competing links to recoup costs. Re-insertion is possible for a fee; however, we will not remove other links.

Why do you charge for guest posts?

We put significant effort into every post—editing for consistency, adding internal links, researching SEO keywords, and sourcing photos. We also create and share Pinterest pins as part of our service, which most bloggers don’t do.

Will you publish my article for free?

Sorry, no. It takes a lot of time and effort to work on a post, and we'd rather be compensated for our efforts. We reserve free publication for travel bloggers to support our community.

I want to submit a food article. What do you mean by “clean eating”?

Our “clean eating” guidelines are based on what God said is healthful. Among others, no dishes made with pork or shellfish (lard, bacon, shrimp paste, crab, etc.). Feel free to ask. If needed, we’ll request a revision.
