How We Make Money While Traveling (And How YOU Can Too)

after 3 years of full-time traveling there has been one question that we get asked probably the most frequently by you guys which is how do we make money while traveling so since we are officially in the New Year we thought now would be a great time to finally sit down and go over exactly how we do that and how you can do it too so that you guys can use the information to finally chase after your own dream of getting paid to travel so there are five main methods on how to make money while traveling that we're going to talk about today from the easiest to the hardest in our opinion we first started traveling together through our job which was modeling we were both fashion models and with that job obviously comes a lot of travel which actually brings us to the first method of making money while traveling that we wanted to talk about today which is taking on freelance SL remot work obviously in our case we had modeling but we've heard of so so many different like job ideas and things that you can do while traveling yeah we've met people who have worked at a hostel volunteered at like restaurants for the summer or photographers that have taken photos for hostels or hotels yeah teaching English is another huge one these jobs provide you with the unique opportunity to meet new people travel abroad and make money while you do it also typically with these types of jobs you'll have a flexible schedule so you have plenty of time to do some exploring and get to actually experience the city that you're in so if this is something you'd be interested in checking out and looking into we're going to link a few resources in the description because there's so many sites that actually help with looking for these types of jobs everybody thinks it's impossible but this truly is possible for you we have personally met so many people during our travels that have had dream jobs and experiences like this and all of their stories start pretty similarly with just like I decided I wanted to do it so I just went after it anyways with us we had modeling and we did that for a while a few years of traveling and making money that way but then the pandemic happened and because of that work really slowed down for us so we had no work no way of making money and no creative outlet for ourselves so we took some of the money that we had saved up to that point and we bought a new camera and we decided we were going to start a YouTube channel as well as a joint Instagram account and a Tik Tok and we were just going to start creating content and have a new way to express ourselves we started building a little bit of an audience but we weren't quite big enough to start making money on the platforms per se but we did really need to figure out a way to make money so we could support ourselves while doing this lifestyle and that's when we discovered the next method of making money while creating travel content that we wanted to talk about today which to this day makes us $1,000 or more per month in passive income and that is affiliate marketing affiliate marketing is where you as the content creator are promoting some sort of product or service or activity and when someone buys it then you make a commission of that sale mhm there are no actual requirements for making money in this method except for being accepted into the affiliate program of whatever brand it is that you want to promote but we were able to get started right away and you can too using the sponsor of today's video which is travel payouts travel payouts is an all-in-one travel monetization platform that empowers travel bloggers and creators to turn their blog into a rewarding business trusted by 500,000 leading creators and top travel Brands like booking.com vior and get

payouts thank you so much travel payouts for sponsoring today's video now let's get into the third method for making money while making travel content which is joining the YouTube Partner program the partner program is YouTube's monetization program for creators on the platform in order to be accepted into it you have to reach a certain threshold of subscribers and public watch hours through this program you get paid 55% of what YouTube makes in revenue for the ads that are played before during or after your YouTube video the amount of money that this ends up coming out to depends on a few variables such as your audience demographics the type of Niche that you're creating content from and how many views you get and for us this averages around $1,500 per month that number may not be as big as some of you guys expected but you have to keep in mind this is essentially free money because we were going to continue posting regardless but then we got accepted into the YouTube Partner program and all we had to do from that point forward was just keep doing what we were doing before so this is just money that's now appearing in our bank accounts every month for doing the same thing we were doing before we got accepted into this program it's pretty amazing honestly it is it's so awesome it's the best monetization program of any of the social media platforms by far the only downfall is that it does take a little bit of time to meet the requirements to get into that program I think that you guys could probably meet it faster than we did it took us 8 months yeah some people it takes longer some people it it's like a month so it all just depends how fast you grow anyways from that point forward we were making pretty good money from being in the YouTube Partner program but we did have to continue supplementing our income with the modeling on the side because we weren't quite making enough to go fulltime and support the lifestyle we were living off of Just creating travel content until we started making money consistently through the fourth method we're going to talk about about right now which is brand deals brand deals are where a brand pays a certain amount of money to a Creator to promote their product or service on their social media so it can range from all different types of brand deals on Instagram reals or on Tik Tok or here on YouTube on YouTube there are two main categories of brand deals that we have experience with the first one being Integrations which you guys are probably the most familiar with it's basically where a creator will speak about a product or service from a brand either in the beginning middle or end of a video but surrounding that is the normal just video that they were making for example in this video right here we just did an integration for travel payouts and the other type of brand deal is dedicated videos where a Creator will talk exclusively about that product or service for the entire duration of a video and they'll actually plan that piece of content around that brand brand deals didn't really start to come in until we hit around 10,000 subscribers maybe even a little bit more but they pay well and they work so perfectly for us as Travelers because we can do them from anywhere in the world mhm we will never forget the first brand deal that we got it was a package of three videos for $300 per video coming in at a total of $900 which now looking back is small but in the moment we were like we are getting paid nearly $1,000 to just do what we love doing which is making these videos for you guys like that is so crazy you can just start posting videos on a platform and then all of a sudden you're getting almost $11,000 to do it and as we have continued to grow here on YouTube and across our other platforms our rates for brand deals have continued to grow as well and now we can say that brand deals as a whole make up around 60 to 75% of our monthly income in the name of full transparency so that you guys can have a real tangible number to understand roughly what creators of our size are making off of brand deals as of now we average around 2 to four brand deals per month across all of our social media channels and that comes out to an average of around5 to $10,000 per month alone on brand deals obviously once we started seeing numbers like that we felt more comfortable to leave modeling and start focusing full-time on content creat Our advice to you is to not count on it happening right away because it definitely didn't happen right away for us and to really focus on making a genuine connection with your audience and making content that you actually want to make yes because Brands will come organically you cannot force this do not force a brand deal your audience always needs to come first and trust me they can smell the inauthenticity from a mile away a general rule of thumb would be don't try to push a product to your audience that you wouldn't also recommend to a friend or family member and for the fifth and final method for making money while traveling we wanted to speak about something that we plan on doing in the future but haven't done quite yet it's a dream of ours yes it is a dream of ours and it is to make a product whether it's physical or digital exactly such as making merch an online course or even an ebook think of creators like Emma Chamberlain with Chamberlain coffee Ali abdall with his online course part-time YouTuber Academy and Cody Co who constantly is dropping like amazing Merch this is great for multiple reasons because not only is it a huge Revenue stream but it's also a way to make money from anywhere around the world because you can do any of the things we listed without having to be in a physical location and on top of that it is providing Extra Value to your audience 100% it's our Dream to do it one day and one day we will be able to make something of value like that for you guys and to any of you who are watching who dream of one day doing the same we completely believe in you and you can do that too with all of that being said that is all of the money-making methods that we
