Travel jobs and how to make money while you

Global Courant

Have you ever had the desire to quit your lame 9 to 5 job, tell your boss to quit, pack up and travel the world?

We’ve all had that desire! The thing that held you back was probably the same thing that held back most people: money.

“How do I pay for my flights, food, lodging, transportation, yada, yada, yada,” you asked yourself.

Don’t let these concerns bother you too much, as there is an underground, growing group of travelers who use some simple yet hidden techniques to earn a significant income while travelling.

Here’s an overview of how we make money traveling and 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 where we want to travel. This is the lowest paying and most complicated method of all, but is the most common.

Common jobs that pay travel are for professional speakers, salespeople, package couriers, flight attendants, travel nurses/doctors, conservationists, cruise ship workers, etc.

Travel assignments in the places we want to go can be any of the above but are also specific to the location we are traveling to. There are some FUN jobs abroad looking for foreign workers!

Underground Travel Income Method #2 – Travel Writing – Travel writing jobs for magazines are more common than you might imagine. However, there are MANY other ways to write while traveling 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 put off by this! It can be as simple as using your own Facebook or MySpace profile. Affiliates typically pay 50% to 75%, so you can earn a very healthy income selling just a few items.

Underground Travel Income Method #4 – Filming Your Adventures – If you have the camera and you take pictures, why not put it on ‘film’ mode and make money from it? Just create a video of your destinations using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, then use your videos to build a customer base!

Underground Travel Income Method #5 – Podcasting – If filming scares or intimidates you, create an iTunes podcast. It’s easier than ever to get listed in iTunes and there’s a HUGE audience of podcast listeners. Just talk about the places you visit two or three times a week and watch your following grow… and your bank account grow!

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 cafe and collect the money!

Take one of these six ‘travel job’ methods, and there are hundreds of travelers around the world who make more money than a regular ‘job…’ and indulge themselves in exotic, world-class destinations. Take your pick and act on the ideas here!
