Ever had the desire to quit your lame 9 to 5 job,
tell your boss to shove it, pack up and start traveling the world?
All of us have had that desire at one point! The thing that stopped you
was probably the same thing that stops most people: money.
“How will I pay for my flights, food, lodging, transportation, yada,
yada, yada,” you asked yourself.
Don’t let these concerns bother you too much, because there is an
underground, growing group of travelers who are utilizing some simple
but hidden techniques to make significant incomes while traveling.
Here’s an overview of how we make money traveling and by landing travel
jobs:
Underground Travel Income Method #1 –
Traditional Travel Job - Hold a job that either a) pays
for us to travel or b) is located in the place we wish to travel to.
This is the lowest paying and most complicated method of all, but is
the most commonplace.
Common jobs that pay for travels are for professional speakers,
salespeople, package couriers, flight attendants, travel
nurses/doctors, conservationists, cruise ship workers, etc.
Travel jobs located in the places we wish to go to can be any of the
above, but also are specific to the location we travel to. There are
some FUN jobs overseas that are looking for foreign workers!
Underground Travel Income Method #2 – Travel Writing – Travel
writing jobs for magazines are more common than you may imagine.
However, there are LOADS of other ways to write as you travel and make
money, including blogging, picking up projects from sites like Elance
and Guru, and writing travel guides, both online and offline.
Underground Travel Income Method #3 – Selling Affiliate Products – Using
a simple website, you can drive online traffic to a product that will
be of interest to your online followers. Don’t be intimidated by this!
It can be as easy as using your very own Facebook or Myspace profile.
Affiliate products typically pay 50% to 75%, so you can make a very
healthy income for selling just a few objects.
Underground Travel Income Method #4 – Filming
Your Adventures – If you’ve got the camera out and
you’re taking pictures, why not switch it to ‘film’ mode and make money
from it? You simply make a video of your destinations using iMovie or
Windows Movie Maker, then use your videos to create a customer base!
Underground Travel Income Method #5 –
Podcasting – If filming scares you off or intimidates
you, you can make an iTunes podcast. It is easier than ever to get
listed in iTunes and there’s a HUGE audience of podcast listeners.
Simply talk about the places you visit two or three times a week and
watch how your following grows… and how your bank account grows!
Underground Travel Income Method # 6 – Ebay –
The common misconception about Ebay is that you have to sell a physical
product to make money. Here’s the trick: You can set up a fulfillment
house to ship your product (or hire your little sister or the
neighborhood kid). All you have to do is create your Ebay post from an
internet café and collect the money!
Take any one of these six ‘travel job’ methods, and there are hundreds
of travelers all over the world making more money than they would at a
regular ‘job…’ and they’re living it up at exotic, world-class
destinations. Take your pick, and take action on the ideas here!
