“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.

“Bizarre travel plans are dancing lessons from God.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Wouldn’t it be great to travel the world and get paid for doing so? When most people think about traveling, they think of the two outdated ‘travel models.’

1)    Work really, really hard and save a lot of money. Once you have ‘enough cash,’ you travel for as long as you can before going broke and getting another job (or go back to your old one).

2)    Travel as a part of your job. These would be low-paying jobs like working on a cruise ship, as a tour guide, bartender, adventure sport instructor, or simply getting a regular job in an exotic location. A better option, to be sure, but…

How can you travel wherever your heart desires, ‘working’ at something that fascinates you? The answer is closer that you may imagine, and a lot more attainable. No, you don’t have to sell anything to your friends or join a cult. I present to you option 3.

3)    Utilize simple technology to automatically provide people with value. For doing so, you make money.

Sound like fun? It definitely is.

The underground movement of travelers who hold no jobs and ‘work’ out of internet café’s and on laptops a few hours a day (or a week) grows larger every day. Here are some quick ways you can join this group.

•    Film your travel adventures and drive Internet traffic using your videos. You’re taking pictures and videos anyway, so why not make some money for doing so? Did you know you can use sites like YouTube and Flickr to send traffic to websites that will PAY you for the traffic?

•    Write about your travel adventures. Most ‘travel writers’ work like mad to make a few measly hundred bucks selling their stories to travel magazines. Instead, land a high-paying job on Elance or Guru… or better yet, post your stories to your own easy-to-create blog and make a Google Adsense income off of your readers.

•    Become a salesman for the biggest store in the world… Ebay! This is one of the most under-appreciated travel-income methods of all time. Most people think they have to ship a physical product on Ebay… which limits your inventory to what you could fit in your luggage or backpack. Unfortunately (fortunately for you!) this is completely wrong. You can sell digital products like e-books and courses on Ebay and never pay a red-cent for shipping. For physical products, you can also easily setup a fulfillment center that will ship your stuff without your ever having to lift a finger.

•    Drive internet traffic to sites using simple techniques. Can you get on an online forum and answer other people’s questions about a subject? Then you’ve got enough skill to drive internet traffic! If you send traffic to websites looking for customers on your subject, you can get paid for it.

Making an income while traveling isn’t as difficult as it may seem… you just need to take action on a few simple steps that not many people know about. Soon, you will be making more money while traveling than you would if you had a 9-5 job! The only thing stopping you is taking action.
