Incent, Incentivize, Incentivise — Motivate

In the Bookseller article “Travel content ‘must be better than free’” the following section caught my eye…

“A writer needs to be a partner in the business,” he said. “Incentivise me to write the best guidebook I can so that I can get royalties, not a fixed fee.”

My question is when should you use “incent” and when should you use “incentivize”? I am not able to keep the two straight. Help.

This section caught my eye too..

“This will keep us ahead of those who are not really content providers.”

Isn’t everyone a content provider these days? Been to facebook lately?
