How to Get Paid for Your Travel Videos

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Have you ever wondered how to get paid for traveling? What if I could tell you that by documenting your travels on film, you could get paid for it? It’s not as hard as you may imagine… so let’s get started.


Most people would imagine selling their videos to The Travel Channel or to The Discovery Channel, that is not the method you’re going to take. Those are sometimes well-paid jobs, but they don’t meet our criteria of getting paid quickly and allowing us to travel wherever we desire.


So how do you use travel videos to get paid? The answer is simple: By using your videos to drive traffic to third party websites who give you money for doing so.


Here is how it’s done:


Unless you’ve lived in a cave, you have probably heard of YouTube (actually, even people in caves have heard of it). It is not uncommon for basic, elementary videos to get 10’s and 100’s of thousands of views. Even videos with millions of views are becoming more common by the day. So how do you drive traffic to a third party site with these videos?


When you post a video to YouTube, you are allowed to make a description of your video. To drive traffic, put a hyperlink in the description to your affiliate link of your third party site. Simply format the address you want to send people to with ‘http://YourAffiliateLink.com’ and it will become a live link within YouTube’s description.

Maui Getaway Vacation

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

For a relaxing vacation filled to the brim with wondrous sights, stunning beaches, and exhilarating recreational activities that will most certainly take your breath away, head to the always popular Hawaiian Island of Maui. Maui is a tropical paradise where your most vacation fantasies can come true, so pack your bags and make your way to this pristine jewel in the Pacific.


When one thinks of the Hawaiian Islands, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the spectacular beaches where all your cares are set free. While Maui is certainly no exception with its amazing stretches of sand scattered throughout the island, the west shore is definitely the place to be for a picture-perfect afternoon. Kaanapali Beach is widely considered one of the best beaches on the island for its memorable snorkeling opportunities at Black Rock while Kapalua Beach is continually rated one of the top beaches in the world for its pristine sand, picturesque views, and excellent swimming and sunbathing conditions.


For a beach experience that extends far beyond the everyday, head to the Hookipa Beach Park on Maui’s north shore for some of the best windsurfing in the world. Famous for its large waves, particularly in the winter, and continuous strong winds, experienced windsurfers can enjoy the ride of their life along the banks of this stunning white sand beach. Surfers should not feel left out, though, as Honolua Bay offers winter waves that should only be tested by experts with nerves of steel.

Budget Travel Insurance – What You Need To Know

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

We all should know that travel insurance is a must when on holiday or vacation. Medical emergencies can cost up to $100,000 or more if an evacuation is required. Cancellations to plan, cruise or tour tickers can also cost a lot of money and sometimes there is nothing you can do it avoid it. Even loss of luggage can be costly now that more people travel with laptops and mobile phones.

Travel insurance can be expensive and you may be tempted to skip it for your holiday. For long trips it may actually cost more for insurance than it does for airfares. This is especially true of budget holidays through places like South East Asia or Europe. Also backpackers may not have costly tour packages or baggage to be worried about. The normal comprehensive level of travel insurance is often a waste for these people.

Many holiday insurance providers offer plans suited to the budget traveller and backpackers. These plans tend to cover general medical expenses such as hospital visits, doctor and surgical fees, dental costs, and medical evacuation. Sometimes these will also offer minimal cover in other areas such as baggage, credit card and passport replacement. It is up to you to decide if you want this as it will raise the price.

Some companies in Australia that offer budget and backpacker travel insurance are: iTrek Travel Insurance, Downunder Insurance, 1Cover Direct Travel Insurance, Insure4Less, and Travel Insurance Direct. Reading travel insurance reviews can help determine the best insurance for you.
