Have you ever wondered, “How am I going to make it on the road?” or “How will I manage long-term traveling”
Trust me, Travelling depends on where you are leaving from, where you are going, and how long you’re traveling. It is safe and cheap to travel with someone so the accommodation, and any rental are shared between you and your friend.
If you are also thinking of traveling far away from your country, then it is best to go to places where you are sure you have families or friends and have sought their attention before moving. It is safe to know where you are going and who is going to meet you.
That’s our short traveling tips.
Below is a list of ten unique ways to make money while traveling the world (both online and offline).
1. Start A Blog(Online).
A blog is some kind of website, that contains information about a specific niche or topic. Blogging can be a great way to make money, and there are many ways you can follow or do it. You can start your blog and monetize it with AdSense, through advertising or affiliate marketing, or you could create and sell e-books or courses on your blog. To travel and earn with blogging, you will need to follow the below steps. Here are seven basic steps to follow to make money blogging.
Set up your self-hosted blog.
You can visit wordpress.com or blogger.com, sign in with your Gmail and create a blog for free. After creating the blog, you will need to select a perfect theme(appearance) and also would have to buy a .com or .xyz domain. Blogger or WordPress would give you a domain that is free but would be difficult to earn from it, as compared to buying a domain. Don’t worry, it doesn’t cost that much per year.
If you host your blog on WordPress, then by default it is SEO (Search Engine Optimization)friendly, but still, there are several features to check for and change to make it even much better. For blogger users, you can find SEO tips on Youtube.com.
Start publishing great content and Build organic traffic to your website.
When you start writing content for your blog, you should be in a position to provide content that meets the criteria of your blog. There are lots of blog niches and here are some great niches to choose from, which include:
- Traveling topics such as General travel tips, Cultural differences, and tips, Language and travel, Traveling for work, and Tour blogs
- Health topics such as Diet, Nutrition and supplements, Herbal remedies, Mental health, Skincare, and Safety and health with COVID-19.
- Fitness and sports topics such as Yoga, Weight loss, CrossFit training, Cycling and mountain biking, Running, Hiking, and Personal training.

So after selecting a niche, make sure to publish more text-based content to achieve high rankings on Google and any other search engines whiles you also make sure to have images, videos, infographics, or audio in your content. These published articles or contents will drive people as traffic to your blog. Make sure to publish at least once per week on your blog, and continue promoting your site throughout forums and social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Build a community around your brand.
Services like Google and Facebook are great areas you can start a community or group to share your content.
Start making money by displaying ads.
When you have enough traffic, you can then register in one of the good advertising networks such as Google Ads or Stud Ads, which these networks have many advantages. If you are using blogger, you can simply click the earnings tab and connect with AdSense and after they confirm your application, you can start showing ads to earn money.
Make money by selling your products or services.
You can sell products such as your eBooks, courses, and even products you have chosen from affiliate websites.
Above all else: we hope you have fun with blogging and make some extra cash while promoting your products.
2. Create a Website for People(Online).
So the first step you should start doing, in almost everything you want to do (as a job), is to work on your portfolio about what you intend to do. Start creating simple and complex websites and put photos of them on social media or your website as part of the portfolio. You can also sign up for ThemeForest and sell your websites.
Apart from that, you can start going around your place to small businesses and the owners if they need a website or they need a redesign for their old website. If yes and confirmed, then you may be the chosen one to do that and if not, keep moving forward.
3. Travelling YouTube Channel(Online).
Do you have a passion or is there any reason why you are traveling or do you just want to travel if it is free?
I know a lot of famous travelers that are YouTubers and the most important thing they do when they travel is to explore, discover, and share it with the world on their YouTube Channel. It might sound like fun but needs much dedication. You will need to wake up early in the morning to shoot the locations, which makes you resist eating your food until you get that perfect image. But remember that hard work pays.
When you have all these photos and videos, you then create a channel on YouTube and upload them to your channel and share them on social media with catchy titles.
How To Earn on YouTube.
Using Ad Networks like Google AdSense.
Ad Networks pay Youtubers based on the number of views and a few more factors. You might need 4k hours of watch time and 1k subscribers before you can apply for monetization. So YouTubers travel, write and shoot about their trips, get views and subscribers then make money and use the money to further their traveling.
Through Sponsored Videos/ Posts.
Once you become a popular YouTuber, few companies and brands will start to contact you directly on your Channel or Social media profiles about their product/service. They might want you to promote their products or website on your channel so they pay you. It’s not as easy as it sounds. You need to be hardworking.
Here are my tips to grow and get subscribers and views on your YouTube channel.
Anytime you complete an upload of a video on your channel, leave a “like” and “comment” on your video, and be sure to “pin” the comment first. It is one trick most YouTubers do and when they leave a comment, they try to make it something engaging. An example is asking the viewers what they think about the video and many more.
After commenting and giving your uploaded video a like, open the video in 6 new different tabs, on 3 separate browsers and allow them to play till the end. Summing up to 18 views at a bat on different web browsers. This will give it the juice it needs to move up the search results.
4. Writing Freelancer (Online).
There are a few other forms that freelance writers can make cash. One way is by writing content for businesses in terms of newsletters, advertisements, or emails, writing for bloggers or website owners or you can also make money by writing eBooks and selling them on sites like Amazon and Google PlayStore.
As a freelance writer, you should be able to write about anything and this gives you a larger scope of clients and bring you more opportunities. There are freelancer sites that will pay you a set amount for each article that you write and you can search on Google.com for the best freelancing sites. The pay is usually not very good depending on the website, but it is a steady stream of income.
5. Social Media Manager(Online).
The social media manager is a person dedicated to managing business products on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get more customers for the business. It covers tasks like creating content for businesses, investigating where to get social media audiences, and developing specific skills and strategies to get the attention of your audience and drive customers to the business you are managing on social media. All in all, when properly managed, social media can be one of the greatest ways to gain an audience and make money from your business.
6. Online Course(Online).
If you want to create a course and earn money, then the best method is to construct a course on that topic in which you’re experienced. And you have got a lot of knowledge about that topic. Then you can plan and organize that course to be able to write the important topics which you can cover in that course. There are two methods by which you can create a course:
- Either In Video lectures or Slides
- Ebook or PDF book.
Then you can sell that course on websites such as Udemy, Coursera, and SkillShare to gain money.
7. Teaching Your Skill(Online and Offline).
8. Teach English(Online and Offline).
There are various platforms online that you can start working for to teach English. You might need internet, a smartphone, good English speaking skill, and Paypal or Bank account. One cool advantage of some online English teaching websites is that You do not need any formal or certified teaching credentials. You will have to just sign up and apply to be a tutor.
Talking about online teaching, you can also make money traveling by teaching offline. You will need a diploma or degree to be recognized as a teacher.
9. Dog Walker(Offline).
Being a dog walker requires a lot of patience, good judgment, and lots of love for animals including dogs. You will need to be assertive and also understand the behaviors of dogs. I love walking people’s dogs and the clarity it gives me. Due to work, people might find it difficult to go for a walk with their dogs, so they might need someone to walk their dogs around the community for a while. If you are lucky, then you have a job to do traveling.
10. Food Delivery(Offline).
If you are planning to join a food delivery company then make sure you have the below things.
- Own a registered vehicle whether a Bike or Cycle and have A Valid Driving License.
Food delivery companies look for this vital information many times and they do this for security and safety purposes. It is easy to get selected in the interview and become delivery personnel, and every food delivery service needs more and more delivery people in their fleet so even if you are been rejected you can try from some other area or city. Also, be ready and make sure to work in harsh environments like Rain, afternoon heat, and uneven shift timings.
