Blog FAQ

If you like my travel and photography blog and would like to contact me for whatever reason, please contact me by Email. But, before you do contact me, I would request you to read the FAQ section below to help address some of your questions.

FAQ
Q) Do you allow advertising on your site and if yes, how do I advertise on beontheroad.com?

A) Yes, I do allow advertising on beontheroad.com. Advertising guidelines, advertising options and other information can be found here.

Q) Can I buy prints of photos or request them for editorial usage?
A) Of course. You can pick the photo from that specific blog post by clicking on it or directly from any of the galleries inside my photography portfolio and choose your print options from those mentioned. If you have custom specifications or need a very large canvas print or have any queries, please email me directly.

Q) Do you sell your photos through merchandise?
A) Yes. Currently, my photos can be printed across the following products: Prints (Best Fit, Small Print, Medium & Large Prints, Square & Wide Prints), Showcase (Acrylic Prints and Canvas Wraps), Apparel (Aprons, Sweatshirts, T-Shirts, Bags), Specialty (Bookmarks, Coasters, Cutting Boards, Keychains and Tags, Cushions, Magnets, Mouse Pads, Mugs, Puzzles, Stickers), fotoflots (Best Fit, Wall Mounts and Desk Stands) and some more. All these can be purchased online directly from my photography portfolio. Again, if you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Q) Can I buy your photo prints as large size canvas prints in India?
A) Yes. I take custom orders for large size canvas prints. Prints are made in the ratio of 3:2, printed on canvas imported from Germany, carry a 97 year warranty and support all the Adobe colors. For more details and prices, mail me.

Q) Will you be interested in writing travel article(s) for me/us?
A) Absolutely! I currently write for the travel section of mylaw.net, Club Mahindra Blog, Jungle Lodges and some other small sized travel sites. I am also exploring avenues to write for publications (newspapers, magazines, books) and online magazines. If you are a commercial establishment, I would have to charge a reasonable fee that we can discuss and mutually agree upon.

Q) Would you be interested in guest post exchanges with travel blogs and sites?
A) Why not? All I would request for is a mutual link back. 

Q) I cannot pay, but would still like to use some of your photos and content. Is this possible?
A) In some cases, Yes. The minimum requirement would be to keep my photo copyrights intact and link back to my blog.

Q) Would you be interested in being a travel blogger and/or photographer for us/our event?
A) Yes! Provided you take care of all my trip expenses and/or pay me a reasonable fee. But, first, I would like to hear your offer out.

Q) Can you do a review on our hotel/resort/travel establishment?
A) Sure! But, I would like to let you know that I will only write an honest review.

Q) Do you want to do a link exchange with my travel site/blog?
A) Yes. Please look at my Travel Community, find out which silo your site fits into and contact me from there.

Q) Can you help me with my travel planning?
A) Most of my travel posts will help you with your travel planning. Hence, I would first request you to search for your requirements through the Search box, top navigation bar and side accordion container and find out what my blog offers. If you still need any additional information, I will happily assist you.

Q) I need some guidance on photography. Can you guide me?
A) Again, I would request you to search my blog for tips and guidance. If you cannot find it on my blog, contact me and I will guide you.

Q) I would like to provide feedback on your blog?
A) Oh! Please do! Such feedback will help me make BE ON THE ROAD a better travel resource on the internet.

  18. I've noticed that you've got an interesting site going on here, however, it just doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves...
    I would like to genuinely help you get a lot more exposure by improving your Alexa rank.

    I work with a Silicon Valley company called "Alexage.com" that specialises in Alexa rank improvement, and I invite you to check out our Alexa ranking packages at www.alexage.com.
    You can read there the importance of having a good Alexa rank and how it could majorly impact your site in positive way.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Best regards,

    Mike Ness
    mike@alexage.com

  19. Hi Mike,

    I sincerely appreciate your offer, but unfortunately, I do not have funds to spend on increasing my alexa ranking.

    Thank you for considering to help me out.

    Sankara

    Do you have a links section on your blog where you can put a link to my blog so that your readers get to read my blog content?

    And next time when you are in India, do remember to drop me an email. I would love to join you or at least help you in some way. Cheers!
