Combine Travel Money Making Strategies: Super-Change Your Earning Potential
"Too often. . . I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen." - Louis L'Amour
Almost every-single person on the planet makes a big mistake when it comes to their income. They rely on just one source of income to earn a living. This source is usually their day-job. If for some reason they were to lose their job, they'd lose their only way of making money.
This causes people to live in constant fear of their boss, their performance on the job, hourly wages and the possibility of getting fired.
This doesn't have to be you. You can fire your boss. And if you do have a job that requires a boss, you won't worry about losing your job.
What you need to have is several different ways of making money. If one or two of those ways go sour, you'll still have three or more different sources of income that consistently earns you cash.
When you combine money-making strategies, not only will you have a lot more freedom, but you'll also have a lot more money.
If you use a website or blog as the corner-stone of your money-making empire, you'll have something that automatically makes money for you - even while you are busy doing something else.
And you don't have to rely on just one website or blog. You can have several nich-websites/blogs that all earn money. Even if you only make a small $500 a month from each of your websites, but you have 10 of them, you'll be earning $5,000 a month.
Then what you can do is work one, or several, travel jobs. Anything you do for these jobs gets put up as content on your website, or websites.
By using this strategy you'll be earning more money from your websites, while you earn additional income from your travel jobs.
Let me give you an example of how this could work:
We'll say that you have just one nich-website to start with. Your website is set-up as a blog; it's all about you. You monetize the site with Google ads and affiliate commissions (like through Clickbank or Commission Junction). You don't even have your own product yet, but you still earn money.
You then work in Alaska for the winter commercial fishing season. You earn several thousands of dollars per month, with free room and board. You take the experiences you have in Alaska and post them on your website as articles, pictures, video, MP3s, or anything you like - it's your website.
So not only are you making money from your Alaska job, but you're making more money from your website as well.
You also take the photographs you have of Alaska, and post them on stock photography internet sites to earn a commission every time one of your pictures is downloaded. This starts to earn you residual income that will last for years to come.
After the fishing season, you grab the money you saved and decide to travel around Europe for three months. While you travel you update your website with your travel experiences and you post more photographs to the stock photography sites.
You also decide to write a few articles for magazines and websites about tourist destinations in Europe, that earns you even more money.
After your Europe trip you decide to go to Tailand. You find Tailand to be a fascinating, affordable country, so you plan to stay there for five months.
In Thailand you continue to update your website with your travel experiences, thus gaining you more visitors and more income. You regularly post photographs to the stock websites, and you land a job teaching English.
When you're not teaching English you stroll over to the handicraft shops looking for deals. You buy handmade scarves and sweaters for dirt-cheap prices. Then you sell them for 20 times what they cost you through online auction sites like eBay.
After your visit to Thailand...
Do you see how this works? The more you do what you love to do, the more money you'll make. Plus, you'll be making money from five, ten or fifteen different sources - most of which run automatically for you.
This way you can make just a small amount of money from each job, yet still have more than enough cash to do anything you want to do. Can you imagine how much money you'll earn if each job made you moderate wages? What if each one earned you great wages?
And you won't have to worry about getting "fired" ever again! You'll be financially independent from a variety of money-making sources, and you'll have all the time you need to do whatever you want.
