3 Ways to Create an Online Travel Income

Posted by hanun on Mar-31-2009

Imagine this: you wake up in the glamorous, exotic, or rustic location of your choice. A smile sneaks its way onto your face. You’re living your dream of traveling the world… and, here’s the best part – you’re getting paid for it.

It is extremely difficult to write about this subject without sounding ‘hypey’ and ‘salesy,’ so let me just lay out the facts, and I’ll let you come up with your own conclusions:

Hundreds of billions of dollars change hands online every year.

•    Thousands of one-man-business entrepreneurs are making a portion of this money.

•    Internet technology has made business possible from anywhere in the world. All you need is a laptop or Internet café…

•    With a little bit of training and know-how, creating a profitable business online that takes in a few thousand dollars per month takes about 30-90 days.

•    There’s a growing underground community whose strategies have them making more money than their friends with ‘Jobs’ and they get to travel to wherever they like.

There are the facts. If you put it all together, there is no reason you can’t take an extremely small piece of the pie. In fact, if you made .00001% of the money being made online you’d be ridiculously rich!

So what are the methods to make this happen? There’s no selling your friends or timeshares or anything shady like that. These are completely legitimate, entrepreneurial ventures that don’t take any startup costs or a ton of training. There are MANY ways to make money online, but here are 3:

1)    Sell digital information. If you’re an expert on a subject of any kind, you can quickly and easily create an digitally delivered product and then focus on selling the product online. This can be an ebook, mp3, video file, or even a simple password-protected website. The markup on these products is HUGE because they cost nothing to create or deliver, and they can be sold for $10 to $10,000+ dollars. Say you have a modest $20 download. If you sold a measly 3 products per day, you’re making $1,800 bucks a month. Sell a $50 dollar product (which takes no more work) at the same rate and you’re making $4,500 a month… for doing the work ONCE!

2)    Sell stuff on Ebay. “Wait!” I can hear you objecting… “I don’t want to carry around old junk to sell while I travel!” By all means… DON’T! You can easily set up an inexpensive account with a fulfillment house and have them ship your auction sales for you. You can hire a high school kid or your little sister to ship stuff. Better yet, just sell digital products on Ebay and don’t ship anything!

3)    Blogging. This is a great option for writers, photographers, and videographers who want to document their travel. You’re probably going to be at least journaling, taking pictures, or video… most likely a combination of all three. Well, did you ever consider making it into a blog that makes money? Setting up a blog to collect income from your advertisers (and visitors, if you choose) is easier than ever. Some bloggers are making $250,000+ per MONTH just for writing about their lives. Yes, you read that correctly. Per month. Not too shabby!

The real key to making money online is to take action and get started. Pick one of these methods, learn as much as you can from experts who have done it already, and then go travel the world!

People travel all the time these days and their trips are mainly for official work. While flying they can choose between business class and first class. There are certain advantages in both. You should choose according to your needs.

The business class provides you with the comforts that will not be available in economy class. There will not be many first time fliers in this category. There will be fewer families and babies traveling with you. Thus, you will be able to travel peacefully without any disturbances that will be found in the economy class.

The seats in business class are very comfortable and big enough, so that you can be assured of rest before you go to the scheduled meeting. This will make you feel fresh for the long day ahead of you for work. You can have good reclining seats which will make you feel rested. There are also ‘flat bed seats’ and ‘lie flat seats’ on which you can sleep. These are inclined to 170 degrees and 180 degrees, so that you can have good sleep. Food and drink that is offered is much better than that is given in economy class. You are also provided with good entertainment with audio and video on demand, power sockets for the laptop and internet access. There will be enough space in the business class to move around and stretch to prevent DVT.

There is also a special check-in area for the business class. This can be used at the departure airport. When you land, you will be able to get out of the plane first, get into the immigration line and customs lines.

First class travel is generally opted for by people who are celebrities, newly weds on their honeymoon, or have frequent flyer status privileges.

This has many advantages over the business class and is also very expensive. Some of the facilities that you have are, a limousine transfer to and from the airport, bags being carried by porters and a private first class check in area. You can also have your first drink there.

In the plane, you can order any special item for dinner which also includes a long list of drinks. The cabin crew attends to very few people – about three to four passengers. You have flat seats which can be as flat as 180 degrees to lie down and there will be a curtain diving your area from the other passengers, for privacy. There are generally only four seats in a row. The seats are in the front end of the plane, so that there is minimal noise and turbulence.   

Both the business and first class sections are much more expensive than the economy class. The business class will be about four times more expensive and the first class will be more than eleven times more expensive. So you should choose the one that you can afford. The facilities offered by the first class will give you an added advantage which will be right for a pleasure trip or for a VIP. Otherwise, business class will give you more leg room, life-flat bed and other comforts that will make travel a pleasure so that you are fresh from the flight experience. Traveling by business class is definitely more advantages than traveling economy class and will be more affordable. First class travel has all the extra perks added to it to make it extremely comfortable and is indeed first class travel.

Weigh the pros and cons, decide whether you can afford it and then choose either business class or first class air travel.
