5 proven ways to make money traveling

We all dream of traveling. I would like to travel to different countries, to see amazing places. However, in order to travel often and for a long time, you need to take care of your finances in advance. You need a constant and relatively predictable source of income. Without this, travel quickly slides into survival level

Most typical ways to earn money, unfortunately not suitable for travelers, because it does not give a person the necessary freedom and mobility. Even earning a lot of money, people often do not allow themselves to travel, remaining attached to their business, to work or to their clients, to their city, etc.

Temporary earnings are not interesting

We do not seriously consider part-time travel jobs. For example, cases when, in order to replenish a collapsed budget, people get a job as animators, such as realtors, guides, crop pickers or street actors. All these adrenaline-pumping ways are taking place, but this is just “keeping your pants on” - we will talk about other earnings.

At the moment there are 5 proven ways how to make money for travel... The formula is simple: passive income + internet. These options give you real freedom to travel. Let's discuss them.

1. Writing articles for money

If you know how to write competent and interesting texts, you can make good money by writing articles. To do this, we register on a special exchange, where there are always customers. I recommend Etxt - in my experience they pay authors without delay, which is very important when traveling. The more and better your texts are, the higher the fees.

2. Renting out your home

If you own real estate (especially in Moscow), you have every chance of making it a source of income. You will have to fuss a little while preparing an apartment and selecting an adequate tenant. However, it's worth it. After all, creating passive income is the most important part of preparing a true traveler.

By the way, when you rent out an apartment, you can get 2-3 times more if it is by the day. Only in this case you need someone to watch over your apartment. It's good if they are close relatives, for example, parents.

3. Selling your photos, videos or drawings through microstocks

Do you have good photographic equipment and a laptop? Can you draw pictures? Then go ahead - sell photos, videos and pictures for money on sites called photobanks or microstocks. One picture or photo, unlike articles (see paragraph 1), can be sold an infinite number of times, which means that by creating a large portfolio of works (the number of photos or illustrations sold), you can receive a stable monthly income.

Typically, within a year, newbies start earning around $ 600. You can receive money to your Payoneer card, ePayments card, or PayPal wallet. In my experience, the most working microstocks are Shutterstock, Dreamstime, and Fotolia.

4. Operations on the stock exchange

If you have a large starting amount of money, start mastering the stock market. To do this, install on a laptop a program for trading stocks, for example, "Transaq", "Alfa-Direct", etc. Then we understand the basics of exchange trading. With due diligence and a large starting package of shares, you can make good money on the constant fluctuations in stock prices on the stock exchange.

In addition, from May to September, you can count on dividends from your shares.

5. Living on interest

The easiest and at the same time the most controversial way to generate income. We act radically - we sell everything “acquired by back-breaking labor”, and put the money in a bank for a deposit, let's say at 10%. We consider: with an average cost of a Moscow apartment of 10 million, the monthly income will be about 83 thousand rubles. Quite a normal amount for living somewhere in Bali or on one of the beaches
