15 Ways to Monetise Your Travel Experiences

🌍 15 Ways to Monetise Your Travel Experiences

Hey There Nomad!

If you’re already on the move and enjoying life as a perpetual traveller, rather than creating an unrelated side hustle, have you thought about monetising your travel experiences.

You’re already experiencing them, so what if you could make a few extra bucks on the side?

Here’s 15 ways to monetise your travel experiences;

1. Start a Travel Blog or Vlog: Share your journeys through engaging content. Once you build an audience, monetize through advertising, sponsored posts, and affiliate marketing. (NB: This will take some time to get off the ground, so patience and tenacity are your virtues here)

2. Freelance Travel Writing: Pitch articles to travel magazines, websites, or guidebooks. Your firsthand experiences will provide valuable insights for readers. (Start today by creating a profile on Upwork.com as a freelance travel writer)

3. Offer Virtual Tours or Experiences: Use platforms like Airbnb Experiences or Amazon Explore to host online tours or cultural experiences from your current location. (Great if you work from home in a popular location)

4. Create and Sell Digital Products: Develop e-books, travel guides, or online courses based on your expertise in navigating different cultures and destinations.

5. Become a Travel Consultant: Leverage your knowledge to help others plan their trips or transition to a nomadic lifestyle. Offer personalized itineraries or coaching services.

6. Photography and Stock Images: Sell your travel photos on stock photography sites or to travel publications.

7. Language Teaching or Translation: Offer language lessons online, leveraging your experience in different countries.

8. Social Media Influencing: Build a strong following on platforms like Instagram or TikTok, then partner with travel brands for sponsored content.

9. Remote Work Consulting: Help businesses transition to remote work models, using your experience as a case study.

10. Destination Wedding Planning: Specialize in helping couples plan destination weddings in locations you know well.

11. Travel Gear Reviews: Create honest reviews of travel gear and monetize through the Amazon Influencer program.

12. Location Scouting: Offer services to film and photography productions looking for unique locations. (Getting creative now, but how fun would this be!)

13. Virtual Assistant for Travel: Provide specialized VA services for travel agencies or other nomads.

14. Cultural Liaison: Act as a cultural consultant for businesses expanding into regions you're familiar with.

15. Travel App Development: Create apps that solve problems you've encountered while traveling.

Here’s a few interesting tidbits & tips I’ve been pondering/exploring this week, which I hope you’ll find interesting or useful.

1. By August 2023 I was attracting over 100k pageviews on my sister website Your Lifestyle Business and generating in excess of $10k a month in affiliate commissions and sponsorships. In the following 2-3 months Google decimated my traffic along with millions of other niche sites in the biggest change to search anyone has ever seen. It’s continuing to change dramatically and whether you run a blog or not, this is an incredibly interesting video highlighting the new OpenAI search system which is coming to rival Google. Interesting times ahead!

2. Looking for fabulous group tours and events? The Nomadic Matt Travel Network is back with loads of upcoming online events, meetups and global adventures. See more details here.

3. Love this FB post! Things aren’t always as they seem…

4. Great podcast episode with Pat Flynn interviewing a very inspirational lady about her business in the ‘cleaning’ niche! Listen Here

5. After a fantastic time was had by all in London, I thought it apt to publish a post on my blog with 29 Unique Things to Do in London

Struggling to create momentum in your life/business? I found this post this week and unfortunately took a screenshot without noting the creator. But thanks to whoever posted this, inspiring stuff!
