It is not as difficult as you might think to travel the world and make money for writing about what you experience. There are some techniques that can help you make a substantial income in a very short time for writing about your world travels.


The most common way to make money from your writing is to sell your stories to travel magazines and newspapers. You can question the magazine about their interest in certain subjects. If they are interested, they will buy your article providing in meets their guidelines when it is finished. You can also write an article and try selling it when it is complete.


You can go to your local library to find magazines and other periodicals that buy travel stories. If you check the recent Writers Market you can find more than a dozen periodicals that will pay a few hundred dollars up to a few thousand dollars for one article.


However, there is no guarantee of payment so you are taking a risk. You have to either be a terrific writer or have a terrific story for this to work. It is not impossible, but it is difficult.


You can sell your story to a blog for a set price if you can write four hundred to fifteen hundred words on practically any subject. Blogs always need fresh content. This is how they keep a high rank with the search engines and hold the interest of their readers.


However, it is hard to write a new post every couple of days. If you can do this job for blog owners, you will save them a tremendous amount of time, provide readers with great content, and make money for a project that is fairly easy for you to do.


This kind of writing pays from twenty dollars up to a few hundred dollars. It is a much easier job than writing for a magazine.


If you write five articles at thirty dollars each, you have made one hundred fifty dollars in a few hours. This makes you happy and it makes the blog owners happy.


There is always the option of writing you own blog and using your travel stories to bring traffic to it. You would be surprised at the amount of bored people who prefer vicariously living through someone else’s world travels. You can make money from your blog by selling products related to the blog and selling adspace. This sounds very basic, but many travelers have made tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per year through their blogs.


There are tons of writing projects that can be found any time on DoMyStuff, Guru, Elance, and other websites that post projects. You simply set up your account as a content provider free, and then answer the requests for writing projects that interest you. When you have completed the project your pay is electronically deposited into your checking account. You can access your money at any ATM worldwide. When that project is complete you can find another project or you can even work on several projects at once.
