How to Start a Travel Blog: How to Make Money While Traveling: The number one question I get asked is how I can afford to travel, while making money, and blogging. I'm going to answer how I make money, and also how I can afford to travel and eat in this video. Also, I'll share how I think you can do it too There are many many ways to make money while traveling, and I have friends that are working on cruise ships, blogging, affiliate marketing, freelance writing, and even skydiving, while earning money to be able to maintain a lifestyle traveling. But instead of sharing all the ways on how to make money traveling, I'll first share the ways I make money. First I want to say that all of these ways that I make money while traveling are all the result of initially starting a blog back in 2009 and committing to writing quality and useful information on it on a regular basis. If you want to make money while traveling, I'd highly recommend you start a blog on whatever you're passionate about and begin blogging high quality useful information to show your expertise, and also connecting with others. (If you're just starting a travel blog, Travel Blog Success is an excellent course that I recommend: [affiliate]) 1. Affiliate recommendations - This basically means earning a small commission as a referral. There are many companies (places like Amazon and Agoda. com for hotels) that offer a commission if you refer someone to a purchase. As an example, on my website I give away a lot of free useful tips about visiting Bangkok And I also recommend a few hotels which, some of which I've previously stayed at, and others which I've just visit and highly recommend. So if you were to click one of the links and book that hotel, I would get a small commission as a referral. I only recommend things that I use myself or trust. 2. My premium travel and food guides - The biggest way I make money while traveling is by selling my premium travel and food guides Right now I have the Bangkok 101 things to do guide, Eating Thai Food Guide, Vegetarian Thai Food Guide, and the Delhi travel guide, and I'm working on more. I prefer to sell my own guides than doing advertising on my website, because I can trust in the quality of my own guides. 3. Freelance writing - As a result of first starting my travel blog back in 2009, I've had the opportunity to do numerous freelance writing projects, some big and some small. I've written for a few inflight magazines, as well as CNN Travel, and various other newspapers, magazines, and websites. I used to dislike writing, but the more I started blogging about thing I really enjoyed (like food) the more I enjoyed it. And after committing to it and blogging, I've been able to connect with so many others and had chances to write for many places. A blog is a great way for you to have a public profile of your expertise. 4. Video, YouTube - Finally, the fourth way of how I make money while traveling and blogging is through videos. I made the decision to start making videos and I have committed to it. Ads on some of my videos is another chunk of my monthly income. Along with how to make money while traveling and blogging, it's also important to say how I can afford to travel? Most of the money my wife and I make now goes back into our traveling and eating. However, it's all about your priorities. We don't own a car and pay for gas, and instead we choose to buy plane tickets and eat street food. You have to set your own goals and priorities and live intentionally to pursue them. Mentioned in the video: My travel guides: My travel resources: Learn to make a succesful travel blog (especially recommended if you're starting out): [affiliate] Getting a job on a cruise ship: [affiliate] (Some things listed here, if you invest in it, I will get a commission, but these are all things I personally stand behind and recommend)

Mark WiensInspiring video Thank you so much for sharing this private part of your life and as a writer I appreciate that you began with writing and blogging and evolved into vlogging. It can be difficult to find the discipline to begin writing and sticking with it. I love your tips and have often wondered how you were able to travel as well and thought you may have been independently wealthy but so great to learn that you worked your way from the bottom and that youre also working while traveling that is the part that we cant see from our side of the video screen. One question, can you talk about how you developed your branding and marketing? You blog and vlog yes, but what was the catalyst in developing your personal brand to get people to buy into coming back to you and your writing/videos. Thanks so much

Hi, like you I travel the work trying allot of street food. I'm a chef and discovering your videos was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have learned allot about cooking different foods just by traveling and eating them, and like you I try almost everything. I would really like for you to come to Denver and try the food we have to offer. No there is not much street food here besides the occasional taco trucks, but we as a city had turned into a big foodie city in the recent years. As you know Colorado like new Mexico has green chili, I feel the Colorado is very underated when it comes to it. come check it out of you can

You're making a difference. We all love how authentic all your videos are. We can all relate to every situations you feature in all different places. Because you welcome all cultures and celebrate diversity in the world of foods. My wife and i watched your video before going to Japan almost 2 years ago. Very helpful. Stay the same and God bless you Mark.

Wow great job. Very nicely presented and very motivational answers. Keep you doing the great thing Mark. If you ever comes to Canada Toronto please let me know I will take you around very diverse eating places. You will love it. Because I am myself very found of eating tradition foods.

Very cool. but eating the way you do. Don't be surprised when you get sick. Your liver is suffering from eating street food very spicy and the hygiene is very poor in all those places. You can get hepatitis very easy from a glass or a plate that is not well washed.
