In any profession that relies on sales to define its success, it becomes extremely important for your business to have a large market reach. There are many ways for you to garner a good awareness for your product or service in the marketplace.

Some companies rely on advertising through mediums such as newspaper, radio or television. But this, unfortunately, can be an extremely expensive option, especially for smaller companies and individuals.

Small travel agents or agencies, for example, simply won’t have the cash and means to advertise frequently on TV or print and compete with the big boys in that way. However, one way in which you, as a travel agent, can compete and earn more income is on the Internet.

By getting your own personalized domain and setting up a blog on it, you can not only find a means to drive traffic to your travel agency website, but also find a whole host of other ways to earn income online! Here are just a few ideas.

1. Drive traffic to booking websites to earn commission

Travel agencies all run on a commission basis. Thus, the more business that you bring in to the agency, the greater commission you will earn. And since most agencies have a website, you can earn commission by directing visitors from your blog to these websites using your Affiliate link. The Affiliate link, which you can get by forging a deal with the travel website, will ensure that you get the commission for each customer that you refer.

You blog serves as a great way to warm you visitors up before directing them to a website to purchase their accommodation or travel package. For example, one of your blog posts can talk about the wonderful holiday destination of Bora-Bora Island. After the blog post, you can provide your Affiliate link to your visitors, telling them to click on it to get the best travel rates.

2. Provide regular information for money

Another way for you to earn money is to create a newsletter that your visitors can subscribe to. After all, people who are interested in travel would certainly be interested getting frequent information on the best places to visit, which airlines are having good promotions, which companies are offering the best packages and so on.

As a travel agent, you would have access to all this information and more, which can prove very valuable to your customers. In exchange for a monthly subscription fee, you can provide your customers with weekly or bi-weekly updates in the travel and hospitality industry. This simple set up can generate you a fair amount of recurring income for quite some time to come!

3. Provide Information As Ebooks

Aside from sending information as e-mails, you can even compile this information in the form of short electronic books (i.e. in PDF file format) and sell them on your website. After all, your visitors are certainly interested in travel (or else they wouldn’t be at your blog!), so they might prove the best clientele to sell to!

The above 3 methods of earning with your blog is merely the tip of the iceberg. Once you have your own domain and blog, you’ll discover a whole new world of money making opportunities will be opened to you. You only need to take the first step!

Wouldn’t it be great to travel the world and get paid for doing so? When most people think about traveling, they think of the two outdated ‘travel models.’

1)    Work really, really hard and save a lot of money. Once you have ‘enough cash,’ you travel for as long as you can before going broke and getting another job (or go back to your old one).

2)    Travel as a part of your job. These would be low-paying jobs like working on a cruise ship, as a tour guide, bartender, adventure sport instructor, or simply getting a regular job in an exotic location. A better option, to be sure, but…

How can you travel wherever your heart desires, ‘working’ at something that fascinates you? The answer is closer that you may imagine, and a lot more attainable. No, you don’t have to sell anything to your friends or join a cult. I present to you option 3.

3)    Utilize simple technology to automatically provide people with value. For doing so, you make money.

Sound like fun? It definitely is.

The underground movement of travelers who hold no jobs and ‘work’ out of internet café’s and on laptops a few hours a day (or a week) grows larger every day. Here are some quick ways you can join this group.

•    Film your travel adventures and drive Internet traffic using your videos. You’re taking pictures and videos anyway, so why not make some money for doing so? Did you know you can use sites like YouTube and Flickr to send traffic to websites that will PAY you for the traffic?

•    Write about your travel adventures. Most ‘travel writers’ work like mad to make a few measly hundred bucks selling their stories to travel magazines. Instead, land a high-paying job on Elance or Guru… or better yet, post your stories to your own easy-to-create blog and make a Google Adsense income off of your readers.

•    Become a salesman for the biggest store in the world… Ebay! This is one of the most under-appreciated travel-income methods of all time. Most people think they have to ship a physical product on Ebay… which limits your inventory to what you could fit in your luggage or backpack. Unfortunately (fortunately for you!) this is completely wrong. You can sell digital products like e-books and courses on Ebay and never pay a red-cent for shipping. For physical products, you can also easily setup a fulfillment center that will ship your stuff without your ever having to lift a finger.

•    Drive internet traffic to sites using simple techniques. Can you get on an online forum and answer other people’s questions about a subject? Then you’ve got enough skill to drive internet traffic! If you send traffic to websites looking for customers on your subject, you can get paid for it.

Making an income while traveling isn’t as difficult as it may seem… you just need to take action on a few simple steps that not many people know about. Soon, you will be making more money while traveling than you would if you had a 9-5 job! The only thing stopping you is taking action.
