A new travel video site, Tripfilms.com is offering you the opportunity to be awarded a $500 travel stipend, free accommodation and $25 for each video you upload in their TripVlogger scheme. There’s also the possibility to progress to being a Tripfilms Pro Filmmaker.

Sounds very tempting but I reckon that you’ll have to show quite a bit of potential in the videos that you initially upload before you’ll be considered as a TripVlogger.  I’d also check the small print to check when the expenses are paid.

I noticed that when I watched videos on the site that relevant travel deals ads appear at the bottom of the video, so obviously Tripfilms want great videos which will be watched by many would be travellers who will be interested in booking the travel deals. Film makers can earn a $25 Amazon or iTunes voucher for 1,000 views of their video up to a maximum of five vouchers.
