Futourist to disrupt the travel bloggers ecosystem on blockchain

Finally, travel bloggers have a way to monetize their diaries without the risk of biasing their opinions by partnering with corporative sponsors, nor filling their posts with ads and referral links.

A blockchain-based wealth distribution system for travelers

Futourist, a Slovenian startup, is set up to disrupt the travel bloggers ecosystem with a blockchain-based rewards scheme, which allows travelers, or Futourists, to be rewarded by sharing their experiences and reviews while helping other travelers, or travelers wannabe, by recommending places, routes, restaurants, hotels and everything in between.

A passion that drives A LOT of attention

Traveling is a passion, a passion that tends to come by the hand with another passion: SHARING. You know how travelers love to share their videos, photos, anecdotes, and all about their experiences while traveling the world.

In fact, this type of content is the most liked and shared in social media platforms.

Being so shared, commented and liked, this content is highly monetizable, nevertheless, travelers have a hard time trying to monetize their blogs, generating noise and distraction within the content by using currently available options. And what if they use a third party platform instead of their own blog? Well, then all of the revenue will flow in just one direction, and it's not in the traveler's direction, nor in the consumer's one.

Futourist coming to the rescue.

Futourist will allow tourists to generate income by simply sharing their passion with the world while being completely impartial about their reviews and suggestions.

So how much is there to earn? Well, judging by how much authors on Steemit (which implements a similar revenue model) make on their posts I would say it shouldn't be difficult for Futourists to cover at least most of their travel expenses.

But although rewarding content creators is something new in the ecosystem, maybe the most disruptive part of Futourist is that not only the travelers will be able to generate an income, readers will also get paid by browsing, reading reviews and upvoting them, which in fact will help to maintain quality standards within the content shared.

A proven system for a laser-targeted niche.

This kind of wealth distribution system has been proven to work for more than a year within the Steemit platform and is currently being implemented in several projects like the brave browser among others.

This is ultimately what the web 3.0 will be like, fairly distributed wealth among content creators and those who engage with the content and help to maintain quality and spread the word.

Futourist will be one of the pioneers of this new wealth distribution system and they have chosen a highly passionate group of people to work with, so they can easily become one hot trending topic for this year.

Don't miss the wagon!!

So, if you are a traveler and you enjoy sharing those beautiful memories, or if you just love to see pictures of paradisiac beaches or reading awesome stories about the most exotic destinations you should stay tuned and join Futourist upon their launch, they already count with + 1MM users in their Open Hours platform so there surely will be a lot of users and content inflow when the platform takes off.
