If
you like to travel, enjoy snapping photographs, and don't mind
a little extra cash in your pocket, we've got a website you should
definitely check out.
Zoom
And Go Ltd. is partnering with travelers around the globe as it
launches the first web site that will give travelers full and
accurate information on every place to stay in the world. Through
Zoom And Go, travelers have the opportunity to help other travelers
and make money for their submissions.
Business
and vacation travelers submit their photographs, video images,
video interviews, 360-degree panoramas, accommodation reviews,
and travel advice online to www.ZoomAndGo.com
identifying the best and worst features of places to stay around
the world. Travelers highlight specific travel safety and security
issues at a time when these issues are increasingly important.
Zoom And Go screens submitted content for its quality and accuracy,
and then pays travelers a one-time fee for their reviews and 50%
of any net fees received from licensing accepted images to a wide
range of travel industry players including accommodations. Content
accepted to the site is posted for the benefit of other travelers
who can use the site’s interactive maps and search engine
to zoom in on the information they need and go to the place that
best meets their specific interests.
Accommodations
covered include everything from hotels and resorts to inns and
bed & breakfasts. Travelers are also paid to add places not
already included in Zoom And Go’s extensive database which
is on track to capture all of the world’s accommodations
within two years.
Membership
to Zoom And Go is free, as is access to the company’s web
site -- one of the most sophisticated rich media sites available
to consumers in any industry following two years in development
at a cost of millions of dollars. In addition to earning money
for their images and reviews, travelers can make money simply
by referring others to Zoom And Go to sign up as members. Those
referring friends earn an extra 5% of that friend’s lifetime
earnings, over and above what is normally paid out to a given
member.
During
four months of pilot testing prior to this week’s international
launch, thousands of travelers from five continents joined Zoom
And Go as members. These members immediately began submitting
images and reviews of places they stayed during the past year
to eighteen months.
The
Zoom And Go site also provides one of the web’s largest and
most easy-to-use learning resources to help photographers at all
levels take high-quality images that meet Zoom And Go’s needs
and criteria. Photographers submitting images do not necessarily
need to have stayed at an accommodation but their images must
have been taken within the past eighteen months.
