Reader Poll: WildJunket Magazine Subscription Up for Grabs
Linda McCormick | Jan 14, 2013 | Comments 13
While it’s great being your own boss, it’s sometimes hard to streamline your thinking; contain the megalomaniac tendencies. I often want to implement changes – sometimes think of redesigning the whole site – but know it’s important to stand back and focus before making rash decisions.
However, even though this is what I should do, it doesn’t say that is always what happens!
I also think it’s really important to get other people’s opinions. I know that when you’re too close to a project you can’t always look at it subjectively. This is where your expertise comes in.
Yes, that’s right, I think you’re an expert.
If you enjoy reading online, you know what you like, what you don’t. What works, what doesn’t.
So now I’m asking for your input.
Below are a few questions about the site’s design, content and functionality. I would really appreciate you taking five minutes to feedback on your experience of Eco Traveller to date. And if you have anything you’d like to add that’s not in the poll, please feel free to leave a comment below.
You can go nuts, if you like – tell it how it is. I’m always up for a bit of constructive criticism.
For taking the time to complete the poll, I’m offering an annual subscription to WildJunket Magazine to one lucky reader.
When you’ve finished the poll, simply enter your details in the comments section below (all emails will be kept private), and you will be entered into a draw to be in with a chance to claim the WildJunket prize.
Go, get clicking!

I love the website. I love you
Aw shucks, ta
Had a stab at the above Linda,
Hope it’s OK
Thanks so much
It’s a nice site
It feels more like a blog than a newsletter. I think the blog posts contain lots of information but it’s hard to find exactly the nuggets of the eco tourism by location and what it is I am wanting to take advantage of. If I can choose a more eco friendly way to travel I will but I need to be able to easily search, find and use these options to help make better future decisions. Lots of potential in this site though and excited to see the direction you are taking it in to.
Cheers,
C Nugget
Hi C, thank you so much for leaving such a detailed response. I really appreciate it. Must admit, that’s what I’m thinking of when I ask about a destination orientated menu. I think the info would be more searchable that way. And yeah, it is a blog more than newsletter, I’m just wondering about starting a newsletter this year.
Thanks again
Thanks for the great site. Your willingness to improve is honorable! Plus I want the subscription
Hey Mikey… good to see you here.
Thanks too for your feedback. Much appreciated
Good luck in the draw!
Hey Linda, I completed it as best I could. Think you’re amazing for following your dreams – wish I had the bollocks! My sister is an eco friendly hippy and campaigner – I will forward her your link. No idea why I haven’t thought of it before!!
Look forward to seeing you in March

I’m a total newbie but it does look appealing and BTW some fantastic questions, a lot of insight can be gathered I guess.

Fun survey, always great to step out of the vacuum of what you think readers want, and actually just ask them.
