Travel Jobs - 7 'Jobs' That Pay You to Travel the World

Jobs that travel the world are an inconceivable dream for most people. "How, on earth," they think, "Could I possibly get paid to travel the world?" It's a common belief that you must save and save up a bunch of money before you can travel, then simply go for as long as your money will last.

Not only is that an outdated and incorrect belief, but it's also a belief that will have you stuck in a never-ending cycle of frustration. Work... then travel... then work... then travel.

Boring.

There are many ways you can get paid AS you travel the world. Fortunately, there are dozens of ways to do this, so no matter your skill set, creating a travel income is something you CAN do... and you can start doing it quickly.

Here are 7 ways to make money traveling the world. Some are commonly available travel jobs, and a few are the 'underground' methods of making money while you travel.

1) Work a cruise ship job. You get to live aboard a luxury cruiseliner and get paid to live the lifestyle passengers pay $500 to $5000+ per week to experience!

2) Get a job as a travel or adventure guide. Visit a city or region. Get to know the best places, then get paid to show other people what you've found! Alternatively, you can show people how to rock climb, raft a river, jump out of a plane, zipline through a jungle... and more!

3) Become a paid travel writer. Not only can you get hired by travel magazines and guidebooks, but don't forget about blogging & online freelance jobs. They're plentiful!

4) Start an online marketing adventure! Most people think marketing online is too 'technical.' Oh contraire! If you can edit a word document you can make money with a laptop or from an internet café anywhere in the world.

5) Work with a charity. Care more about making a difference and experiencing other cultures than turning a profit? You're in luck. Scores of charities will pay your travel, food, room, and travel expenses in exchange for your volunteer work.

6) Get a job teaching English. If you're a fluent English speaker, you have a skill that millions - if not billions - of people desire. Like it or not, English is the international language of commerce. Dozens of countries in the world want their citizens to know the language and will give you a job to travel to their country to teach it whether you know their language or not.

7) Get a job telecommuting. With these types of jobs you are not paid hourly, but by the tasks completed. In other words, you have deadlines to get a report written, crunch some numbers, or (insert your inane task here). Complete these jobs from an internet café or your laptop, email it in, and you've got cash in hand.

Travel jobs are intimidating to many people because they require a paradigm shift. You are no longer bound by a 9-5 grind, and your commute becomes wherever you fancy. Jobs that travel the world are inconceivable to most people, which is GREAT news; the competition is low.

You can travel the world and get paid for it by picking just ONE of the above methods and by learning all you can about that specific method. The key is in getting started and taking action.

Travel Writing - 4 Ways to Make Money As a Travel Writer

Have you ever wanted to travel the world and make money for writing about what you see? It's not as hard as you may imagine. Using a few underground techniques, you can be making a healthy income in no-time flat for writing about traveling the world!

Here are the ways you can make money as a travel writer:

1) Traditional Method: Selling Your Stories To Travel Magazines and Newspapers

This is the most common and most well-known method. Ironically, it also pays the least of all the methods.

You can take two paths when selling your article to a magazine. First you can query a magazine on their interest about a particular subject. If interested, they will agree to buy your article if it meets their standards. The second method is to write the article, then try and sell it.

To find magazines and periodicals that purchase travel stories, go to the library and check out the most recent Writers Market and you'll have over a dozen periodicals that pay anywhere from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand dollars for an article.

The risky side to this is that there are no guarantees of payment, and you must either have a great story or be a great writer to make this work. Not impossible, just tough.

2) Writing For Other People's Blogs

If you can write a 400-1500 word post on any given subject, you can sell the post to a blog at a set price. Heres why: Blogs constantly need new content. It's how they stay fresh with their readers and how they stay well-ranked in the search engines.

However, writing a new post every few days is a difficult task! If you take over that task for a blog owner, you're going to be saving them a TON of time and effort, providing their readers with great value, and making an income for a project that is relatively easy for you to complete.

You can get paid anywhere from 20 bucks to a few hundred dollars for this kind of writing... and it's a LOT easier to do that writing for a magazine.

Think of it: You spend a day writing 5 articles and sell the articles for $30 dollars each. Now you've made $150 dollars for a couple of hours of work and everyone is happy.

3) Writing for Your Own Blog

Another option is to write your own blog and use your travel stories to drive traffic to it. You'd be surprised at the number of bored, lifeless people who want to live vicariously through someone traveling the world. You can then monetize your blog by selling adspace or selling products related to your blog. This sounds basic, but it has made many-a-traveler tens and even 100's of thousands of dollars per year.

4) Completing Writing Projects on 'Project' Sites

There are literally hundreds of writing projects posted every single day on Elance, Guru, DoMyStuff, and other 'project' posting websites.

All you have to do is set up a free account as a content provider, then answer people's requests for writing projects. Once you're done, the funds will be electronically deposited into your bank account, and you can withdraw the money from any ATM in the world. You can then pick up another project... or complete several projects all at once!

Many projects go for $1000+ dollars, so it doesn't take a lot of these to be able to travel well and travel often. You can even do the work on the airplane ride to your next destination!

If you have any writing skill at all, you will be able to pick one of these methods and become a well-paid traveler.

Travel Jobs & How to Make Money While You Travel

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!
