We love the idea of you sitting in a totally cute room with a hot drink in hand as you people-watch from your balcony. But if vacation sounds a bit too pricey, there’s good news. You can actually get paid to travel now.
Travelers can upload video reviews of hotel rooms across the globe, and once verified as an authentic review, contributors will be paid up to $50 USD per submission. It’s really that easy, with payouts being determined by the hotel’s number of stars.
A five-star hotel review pays $50, a four-star hotel pays $30 and so on (the TikTok view below explains exactly how to do it to score the cash). And you don’t have to be an influencer with loads of followers to participate.
Travelers can now explore hotel rooms like never before with the launch of Room Cougar, a UGC platform offering organic and unfiltered user-submitted video room tours and reviews. Unlike traditional websites that rely on staged content, Room Cougar sources content from its community of everyday consumers and influencers so the average traveler can “look before they book.”
Room Cougar is completely free to use and is currently rewarding users for crowdsourced contributions to the platform. Capture light, bright rooms with sunny views or the grossest, roach-infested motels. It doesn’t even matter.
Currently available via its website, Room Cougar is poised to launch a mobile app in the coming months to expand accessibility and convenience for travelers searching for insights while booking on the go. In addition to its commission-based structure, the platform also offers users additional monetization opportunities through referral commissions.
When travelers book stays through Room Cougar’s links, contributors can earn a share of the commissions, making it a versatile tool for casual reviewers and travel influencers alike.
