Many travelers are wondering how to make money on travel. We have long avoided this delicate topic, but it’s time to do our bit.
Why do we consider this topic sensitive? Because not everything is as simple as it is often found in loudly screaming articles on the Internet. After all, on the one hand, you can find sites that offer to reveal the secrets of making money while traveling, you just need to buy a course. The creators of such courses, using the most modern marketing methods of persuasion, promise a comfortable happy life that will allow you to earn money and travel around the world, just buy a secret earning course. Of course, there are many “success stories” on the sites. Let’s be honest that we (the authors of the site) consider these offers in some cases outright fraud, and in others just a slight deceit. After all, as you know, “Who cannot earn, teaches how to earn.” Although the authors of these courses in most cases are indeed a clear example of success, they only earn not on travel, but on the sale of their courses.
On the other hand, it is really possible to make money on travel while traveling, but for this you need to be at least a highly qualified and sought-after specialist in a certain field … In general, then about everything in order:
Advertising earnings. You simply place ads on your site from one of the advertising systems, and receive income from ad clicks or impressions. We advise you to focus on the popular advertising systems, and not get involved with all kinds of teasers and banner displays. All other advertising systems promise fabulous incomes, but in fact the most effective, massive and profitable are the Google ones.
It is also possible to work directly with advertisers. They themselves reach out to you with offers to advertise on your site when it gains popularity and traffic. But keep a balance in the amount of advertising, because. too much is also bad.
Partner systems. This is also a great way to make money, but its profitability is slightly lower than earnings from advertising, especially when used ineptly. Its essence is that you sell travel services on your website and receive a percentage of the sale. It seems that you can earn a lot, because affiliate marketing programs offer a good percentage. However, the problem is that you need to constantly experiment with the location of booking blocks, banners, etc. and look for the most effective, otherwise you will receive less money from the same advertising space. However, if you manage to find a good location and make enough good pages, the income can be very high.
Find a sponsor
If you are a really cool traveler, then you can find a sponsor for your super trip. But no one will pay you money just like that, because sponsors give money for advertising. Accordingly, you first need to earn credibility and fame with your travels, and then represent the sponsoring company. Those. one must be prepared for publicity and fame with all the ensuing consequences, including criticism, and this is not for everyone.
Part-time or on-site work

You can find a job or a part-time job while traveling, ranging from a part-time job in the kitchen as a dishwasher to tourist services. But you should not particularly rely on such earnings while traveling, because. part-time work, that is, then no, and you can’t earn a lot on washing dishes or floors.
And if you are lucky enough to find a well-paid permanent job, then you will most likely have to forget about traveling. Yes, you will live far from home, perhaps even in another country, but you will settle there for a long time and find yourself tied to a new job. And as a result, it is possible that in a year or two you will begin to yearn and want to return home.
Get a career in travel
It is unlikely that you are reading this article if you have a profession that allows you to travel: pilot, translator, journalist, train conductor, flight attendant, DJ, dancer, professional athlete, prime minister, president, movie star, superhero, super spy and so on. But if you are only facing a choice of what profession to get, and you have a passion for travel, then you can try to master one of the ones mentioned above.
Summary
Today, many people work around the world without being tied to a specific place, city, or even country. Their work is entirely based on the Internet, because. This is so far the only way to perform certain types of work, being almost anywhere in the world.
But such employment requires a lot of effort, and besides, you must be a first-class professional in a certain field. In our opinion, one should even be much more professional than in a similar job at a permanent place of residence.
