Amazines is another article marketing site that can drive web traffic to your site. They claim that they’re dedicated to helping you grow your subscriber list and develop more business. Of course, this is what all travel writers want.
However, Amazines.com is not an amazing article marketing site, but it does seem [...]

Who doesn’t love a good Scavenger Hunt? I know I do, so here is our very first one coordinated by Travel-Writers-Exchange.com, sponsored by (and featuring some very cool SWAG from) Royal Holiday Resorts.
WIN: A FLIP Video Ultra (sweet!) along with some nifty Royal Holiday Resorts branded logowear – polo shirts, hats, a gym bag, and [...]
Just as the internet has forever changed the world of Publishing, it’s also forever changed the way a Travel Writer connects with his or her audience.
In the “olden days” of travel writing, you’d submit your article to a travel magazine, or maybe the travel section of a newspaper, and while you could find out subscription [...]

Travel writers, do you have a travel story in mind that you’ve always wanted to turn into a novel? If so, then Dramatica Pro is a program that can be your “creative writing partner”.
Dramatica Pro is the only Story Development software to receive a 4 Star rating from Writers Digest Magazine, [...]
YourNews.com is a local article marketing site. Similar to many local online news websites, except that YourNews.com makes it easy for you to sign up for an account and submit your travel articles based on your zip code, which you enter the first time you land on the site. You can also submit [...]
Earlier this week Rebecca did a great job of reviewing ExcellentGuide.com. She made a point about the fact that they were trying to be too many things, instead of just focusing on one and actually being excellent at it, which they weren’t.
I felt it was a perfect example of a mistake that [...]
Last week I happened to mention on Twitter that I was not thrilled with TweetDeck, as it was unstable and crashed regularly on my Mac, and that I was testing an alternative Twitter Client called Nambu.
Nambu is a native Mac application, whereas TweetDeck runs on the Adobe AIR platform. I really love [...]
ExcellentGuide.com is a rather odd combination of an Article Submission Site and a Directory of websites, bookmarks, and videos. It appears as if they are trying to single-handedly replace EzineArticles.com, YouTube.com, Digg.com, and the Yahoo Directory.
However, if you can overlook the amateurish-looking website and obnoxious Google Ads, and the fact that they explain nothing on [...]
Choosing a web hosting service can be a daunting task, especially if you’re new to websites and hosting services. The WHIR can take the “bite” out of finding a web hosting company. Web Host Industry Review (WHIR) touts themselves to as the “the largest news organization and consumer resource dedicated to the web [...]

Based on some of the email we’ve received lately there seems to be some confusion between EzineFinder.com and EzineArticles.com. These are two distinctly different websites with very different functions. EzineFinder.com, which is the focus of today’s review, is primarily a directory of ezines, also known as e-newsletters or online magazines. EzineArticles.com [...]
As I read some of my favorite Travel Blogs, one of the things I’ve noticed is that a lot of travel bloggers don’t realize that they can (and should) customize their default “404″ page that comes with nearly every WordPress Theme. Worse though, is that some bloggers don’t have a 404 Page at all, [...]
The Writer’s Software Companion is great for travel writers that would like to try their hand at fiction writing, and many do just that, either by taking their travel writing articles and turning them into a novel, or by using travel writing to “pay the bills” while they are writing their novel in their spare [...]
