How to Get Paid for Your Travel Videos

Have you ever wondered how to get paid for traveling? What if I could tell you that by documenting your travels on film, you could get paid for it? It’s not as hard as you may imagine… so let’s get started.

Most people would imagine selling their videos to The Travel Channel or to The Discovery Channel, that is not the method you’re going to take. Those are sometimes well-paid jobs, but they don’t meet our criteria of getting paid quickly and allowing us to travel wherever we desire.

So how do you use travel videos to get paid? The answer is simple: By using your videos to drive traffic to third party websites who give you money for doing so.

Here is how it’s done:

Unless you’ve lived in a cave, you have probably heard of YouTube (actually, even people in caves have heard of it). It is not uncommon for basic, elementary videos to get 10’s and 100’s of thousands of views. Even videos with millions of views are becoming more common by the day. So how do you drive traffic to a third party site with these videos?

When you post a video to YouTube, you are allowed to make a description of your video. To drive traffic, put a hyperlink in the description to your affiliate link of your third party site. Simply format the address you want to send people to with ‘http://YourAffiliateLink.com’ and it will become a live link within YouTube’s description.

So where do you send people to? There are thousands of affiliate programs out there, but the easiest way to get started is to search Clickbank for products that are related to your video. For example, if you recently went to an Italian Vineyard, you could direct people to a product that teaches “wine tasting” or “how to create your own wine.”

You will make a commission on each sale that is made. So, if 10,000 people watch your video over the next year, and 10% of them click your link, you send 1,000 visitors to the site. If 10% of those visitors buy, you make 100 sales. Oftentimes that’s at $20-$50 dollars per sale, so based on this model, you can make $2000 to $5000 dollars for that video!

You are probably getting excited now. That’s for only ONE video! If you have 10 videos out there, you’re now making $20,000 to $50,000 dollars per year just for having some silly videos on the web.

To be entirely realistic, it can be difficult to get that many views for that many videos… but it’s NOT impossible. Many people are doing it, so there’s no reason you can’t do it as well. You just need to know what you’re doing!

Here are some last minute keys: First, make videos people are going to share with their friends. They should be instructional, funny, or amazing. Second, consider putting your link ON the video itself. That way, people type the address into their browser if they like your video, and if people embed your video, you’ll still drive traffic. Third, find GOOD affiliate programs that ‘convert’ well… meaning they sell a lot of their stuff.

Using this model, and with a little more training, you’ll be off to the races, traveling the world while you make money for filming your adventures!

What job requires me to travel to different countries?
I really love to travel and I'm wondering what job require me to travel to different countries. I'm thinking a well-payed job. I do not want to be an airplane attendant or any other job like marine. Not a translator either.

    It's a good video, as far as travel videos go… certainly a good job and done well, and very true-to-spirit and unique as far as travel videos go.

    That said, as for selling it… it really depends on demand. Generally, when cities want such a video (to promote tourism, etc…) they commission one and require certain things to be in the video. So… they don't buy pre-made videos. Instead, they hire someone to make a video for them with specific requirements.

    So the odds of them actually buying it are slight. If they do buy it, then they set the price… not you.

    Regardless, a very good video, but one problem… it says Pacifica is 15 miles South of San Francisco, which isn't true. It's actually about 6 miles South of San Francisco (ie: less than half the distance your video claims it is).

    Hi,

    She wont need to pay anything.

    Why?

    - If she is going to Egypt on a tourist visa, then the customs assume she is going to take back all her personal stuff she brought and wont be selling them in the market. Customs will not even open her bags they are more interested in the Egyptians coming back from aborad with DVD players etc.

    - Every single person entering Egypt is allowed to have a mobile phone of any kind except ones with GPS, like the Nokia N95. Old or new does not matter, it is considered a personal property just like laptops etc and they do not charge any fees for it nor are the visitors supposed to declared them upon their entry.

    - Camera phone is just a mobile phone – no need to declare, no fee

    - If she intends on entering with a proffesioanl video camera, it is a slighlty different story. She needs to declare the camera and she needs to show it to customs upon leaving, no fee, no customs.

    Your Freelance, you go where the clients / jobs are at if you want to make money.

    I bid and work for 2 companies.

    1st Company, (I'm a Supervisor / Estimator for)
    I add travel time to (port to port)=
    (from the shop to the job and back to the shop at day's end),
    because I have to provide a "Bid / Set Price" for services. Numerous employees and vehicles and equipment are involved and I have to cover the employees windshield time, Insurance, etc,etc,. Plus I have to figure vehicle and equipment costs. (Fuel, Insurance, Vehicle Payments,
    License Plates, etc.)

    2nd company….
    I own part of and give my travel time free to have the opportunity to provide a quote and hopefully get the job.

    Depends on your situation and what you feel your clients will accept.

    fschy disse: “e paulista vai pra onde no feriado?”
    eu digo: vai no cinema, no teatro, no show, na exposição, ver cultura, experimentar a melhor gastronomia do país, vai nas milhares de feiras diversas, vai na galeria do rock… ao contrário do resto do país, Sampa continua VIVA, mesmo no feriado…

    Most colleges have career counseling that would be really helpful to you. I know that my school has a quiz you can fill out to get that kind of information. You can also speak with an adviser.

    My sister's school has a major fair where representatives from each major set up a table and provide information to undeclared students.

    When you go to college, you have to take general education classes. They can often help give you an idea of what kind of major you want to pursue.
