Business Insider’s lifestyle and entertainment editor is assigning some fun experiential, photo-heavy stories. Here are some examples of what they’re looking for:
“- I've purchased Amtrak's USA Rail Pass 3 times. Most rides are slow and uncomfortable, but I can't wait to buy it again.
- We took a 53-hour Amtrak train from Chicago to California. It was a great way to see the country, but I'd never do it again.
- I spent $220 to take a ferry to a remote oasis near the Florida Keys. The ride had drawbacks but was well worth it.
- I flew 8 hours in United Polaris business class. The lie-flat seat was comfier than my own bed.
- I drove 3 hours to visit one of the last remaining KFC buffets. My favorite side dish was missing, but the value wasn't.”
Rates for these kinds of pieces generally start at about $240 for 600 words. To learn more, refer to their editor’s post and this form.
