This has however not been a barrier to a certain group of people, they have broken these limits and found solutions.
Here are some income-generating activities one can engage in while traveling.
Blogging
Blogging refers to the act of creating and publishing content on a blog, which is a website or an online platform that allows individuals or organizations to share their thoughts, ideas, opinions, experiences, and expertise with others in the form of written posts.
One of the most common ways bloggers make money is through advertising.
This can be done through various ad networks or through direct sponsorships with brands. Thus generating income to cover one's expenses.
Mark Weins a very popular travel blogger states '' One thing I would really urge you to do if you're interested in making money while you travel is to start a blog immediately and it can be about any kind of a subject that you are truly passionate about.''
Affiliate marketing
This is a type of marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.
Affiliates promote a product or service through a unique referral link, and if a customer clicks on that link and makes a purchase, the affiliate earns a commission on the sale.
So one can get affiliate marketing gigs from hotels they have stayed in or travel products and services that they have enjoyed.
Content monetisation
Travel content posted on various social media platforms can be monetised. Platforms such as Youtube enable travel content creators to earn from their videos.
This creates an income stream for the channel owners, thus they can be able to fund their traveling.
Writing and travel consultancy
Travel content creators can be commissioned to write for travel magazines, websites, ebooks, and newsletters.
This earns them income. Another lucrative activity can be travel consultancy, where a travel content creator with expertise in travel can be commissioned to provide information about different travel destinations, help clients create travel itineraries, and offer advice on how to stay safe and healthy while traveling among other useful information concerning travel.
E-books and digital magazines
One can develop their own e-books and magazines containing travel content. By selling these digital products directly to their consumers, income is generated.
Overall touring the world whilst making money has proven to be possible.
