Obviously the £100 earnings is a landmark that you would wish to celebrate but it's a little meaningless on its own. I'd guess that the writer has quite a few published guides; could you tell us roughly how many without breaching confidentiality?

Hi Jon,

Clearly, writers with several guides stand a better chance of earning more revenue than those with only one or two. In this case the writer concerned has more than 10 guides on the site. But I don't want to extend this debate any further - we have made a commitment to be honest and open with the information we give out, but also, as you point out, have a duty of confidentiality to all Simonseeks members.

Very best

Nick

That's a shame; I was hoping for a game of 'Who am I' and thought we had 8 questions left. ;-)
Seriously, thanks for your reply, and congratulations to the £100 earner, whoever it is!

Was the £100 top writer Cliff Richard?!

We don't reveal the earnings of named writers for obvious reasons of confidentiality. But the writer referred to above is not Cliff Richard.
