Make Money Traveling with Stock Photography

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson

There are several stock photography websites that want your pictures. These sites will pay you a percentage for every one of your pictures that gets downloaded, each time it is downloaded. Your pictures can be downloaded an unlimited number of times.

Many individuals, businesses, organizations, websites and print publications are in constant need of a wide variety of quality photographs for their websites, sales letters, brochures, magazines, videos and newspapers. These entities regularly turn to stock photography websites to buy the photographs that they need.

You can submit your digital photographs to websites like iStock.com and Shutterstock.com. You don’t need to be a professional photographer. You just need a digital camera (with extra memory cards) and internet access. Signing up for these websites is free. Each time one of your pictures is downloaded you’ll get paid a percentage of the cost of the photograph, which generally comes to twenty-five cents to several dollars.

Just about any type of digital picture is accepted as long as it is of high quality. Your pictures need to be in JPG/JPEG and for most stock websites they should be 1600 x 1200 pixels or larger. New photographers for Shutterstock need to submit photographs that are 4.0 Megapixels or Million Pixels (MP).

You can calculate the number of pixels in a photograph by multiplying the width by the height. A picture that is 1600×1200 is 1.92 million pixels.

In photographs that depict a minor, or where an identifiable human face is visible, you will need to send a model release with the picture to the website. You need to submit original work and make sure that you do not include copyrighted material or logos in your images. Do not submit photographs that have been increased in size from their original file size. You should read the submission guidelines from each website before you start posting your pictures.

Once you have uploaded a picture to a stock photography website, it stays there for as long as you like (even for years). Every time it gets downloaded you earn money. You can upload your pictures to several different websites as long as the websites allow the submission of non-exclusive photographs.

For example: let’s say that you have accumulated 1,000 high quality photographs for stock photography websites. You upload each image to ten different websites. So each site now has 1,000 different pictures. You have a total of 10,000 images uploaded on the various sites. If each of your pictures get downloaded just twice every thirty days, and your commission is only $0.25 cents for each download, you’ll be making $5,000 a month!

You can take ten pictures a day and upload each one to ten different stock photography websites. In just three months you’ll have about 900 photographs uploaded 9,000 times.

What is really cool about this is that once your pictures are uploaded they continue to make money for you with no additional work on your part. If you continuously upload pictures to the stock websites you can earn even more. There are several people that do this full-time and make $5,000, even $8,000 a month.

Most of the stock websites pay you once a month through PayPal, MoneyBookers, paper check or direct deposit.

You can start by taking pictures in your area, or travel anywhere and make a very healthy living by taking stock photographs. The more pictures you upload, the more earning potential you have. You can make great money from this “job” from just about anywhere in the world.

Expeditions: How to Raise Money for Your Adventures

Do you have a good idea for an adventure, but don’t have the funds to put it into action? Will this adventure interest people with an educational, scientific, environmental, humanitarian or historical value? Could this adventure generate publicity? If so, you can get sponsors to pay for your adventure through an expedition.

The first thing to do is to clearly define your goal and plan the expedition. You need to thoroughly answer the following questions:

1) Who?
2) What?
3) When?
4) Where?
5) Why?
6) How?

Contact organizations to help you with the planning. The National Geographic Society (NGS) has a huge collection of information about adventure and the world. They also fund expeditions. The Royal Geographical Society (RGS) maintains an Expedition Advisory Center. The Center has listings of expeditions, people interested in attending expeditions, experts and books. RGS offers grants for expeditions and provides links to other grant resources.

Put up a website that details the goals, benefits and amount of funding needed for your expedition. Be sure to include a donation payment button. You can make a page on http://www.justgiving.com. This website specializes in helping people and organizations raise money.

Contact your family, friends and colleagues with your expedition proposal. Ask them to contact all of their friends and acquaintances as well. A great way to do this is through social networking websites. Let all of your internet friends know about what you plan to do and ask for their support. Even if they don’t donate any money they can still send your proposal out to all of their internet friends, and those friends can forward the proposal to their friends as well. In this way your proposal may go viral.

Send your proposal to relevant professional bodies and businesses, universities, politicians, prominent scientists, exploration societies and organizations. Make sure that you include benefits that they will receive for their active interest. “The Directory of Grant-Making Trusts” at your library will help you find the appropriate sponsors, as will an internet search for “Grant-Making Trusts.”

Collect your supportive statements and names, goals, and plans and put it all together for a media release. Send this release to newspapers, magazines, radio shows and television news programs, asking for support from universities, governments, private institutions, and other organizations. Again, make sure that you include benefits (like publicity) that these groups will receive for their support.

You can also host fundraising events. This is an excellent way to get your message out to the media. Once your fundraiser has been planned contact media outlets with the relevant details of your fundraiser. Let them know that they are invited to attend, and that you are available for interviews.

Follow up prospective sponsors with a telephone call and ask for a meeting when possible. At the meeting clearly and enthusiastically present your expedition idea, and play heavily on the benefits the organization is likely to receive for donating funds.

Once the expedition is over write a report of the results obtained. And be sure to thank everyone for their donations and support.

Repeat this process over and over again and you will have enough money to do anything you like from anywhere in the world.

Alaska Adventure! How to Get a Job in the Alaska Commercial Fishing Industry

Work in the Alaska commercial fishing industry is a great way to save up a lot of money in a short amount of time. After the fishing season many employees use the time and money that they now have for college, to buy property, to start a new business, or to travel the world. The industry employs over 65,000 people every year, so there is plenty of room for newcomers to get a job.

Work hours generally range from 12 to 16 hours a day, up to seven days a week. Processors typically make $3,000 to $6,000 a month, while fisherman earn about $4,000 to $10,000 a month. Besides the pay, many employers in the industry also offer free room and board and free round-trip airfare from the point of hire (usually Seattle, WA) to Alaska.

There are several different fishing seasons throughout the year. But generally speaking there is the winter “A” season and the summer “B” season. It is best to apply for a job three months before the season starts, and be sure to send out applications to several companies to increase your chances of getting a job.

Processing jobs are the easiest to get. Usually no experience is required, but any experience working long hours or in factories is a big plus in convincing potential employers that you’re right for the job.

Potential employees are given an interview and are asked to attend an orientation meeting, which will help prepare you for the job and answer your questions. When hired you will need to sign a contract that details the conditions of the job, pay rate, duties, and length of employment.

Contracts usually run from one to four months, with the standard being three. After your contract is finished you will have the option of returning to the company for the next fishing season if you have done a good job. Most processing companies work almost all year long, so you’ll have a job waiting for you whenever you need it.

Work in Alaska whenever you need to raise cash quickly, work for six months then take six months off to travel the world, or make the Alaska commercial fishing industry your career. Work in Alaska is great for offering you more flexibility than a regular 9 to 5 job, and will also offer you an adventure that you’ll never forget.

Some of the bigger employment companies in Alaska you may apply to are:

http://www.americanseafoods.com

http://www.icicleseafoods.com

http://www.starboats.com

http://www.tridentseafoods.com

http://www.unisea.com

http://www.westwardseafoods.com

Combine Travel Money Making Strategies: Super-Charge Your Earning Potential

“Too often. . . I would hear men boast of the miles covered
that day, rarely of what they had seen.” – Louis L’Amour

Almost every-single person on the planet makes a big mistake
when it comes to their income. They rely on just one source
of income to earn a living. This source is usually their
day-job. If for some reason they were to lose their job,
they’d lose their only way of making money.

This causes people to live in constant fear of their boss,
their performance on the job, hourly wages and the
possibility of getting fired.

This doesn’t have to be you. You can fire your boss. And if
you do have a job that requires a boss, you won’t worry
about losing your job.

What you need to have is several different ways of making
money. If one or two of those ways go sour, you’ll still
have three or more different sources of income that
consistently earns you cash.

When you combine money-making strategies, not only will you
have a lot more freedom, but you’ll also have a lot more
money.

If you use your website as the corner-stone of your money-
making empire, you’ll have something that automatically
makes money for you – even while you are busy doing
something else.

And you don’t have to rely on just one website. You can have
several nich-websites that all earn money. Even if you only
make a small $500 a month from each of your websites, but
you have 10 of them, you’ll be earning $5,000 a month.

Then what you can do is work one, or several, of the travel
jobs mentioned in the previous article. Anything you do for
these jobs gets put up as content on your website, or
websites.

By using this strategy you’ll be earning more money from
your websites, while you earn additional income from your
travel jobs.

Let me give you an example of how this could work:

We’ll say that you have just one nich-website to start with.
Your website is set-up as a blog; it’s all about you. You
monetize the site with Google ads and affiliate commissions.
You don’t even have your own product yet, but still earn
money.

You then work in Alaska for the winter commercial fishing
season. You earn several thousands of dollars per month,
with free room and board. You take the experiences you have
in Alaska and post them on your website as articles,
pictures, video, MP3s, or anything you like – it’s your
website.

So not only are you making money from your Alaska job, but
you’re making more money from your website as well.

You also take the photographs you have of Alaska, and post
them on stock photography internet sites. This starts to
earn you residual income that will last for years to come.

After the fishing season, you grab the money you saved and
decide to travel around Europe for three months. While you
travel, you update your website with your travel experiences
and you post more photographs to the stock photography
sites.

You also decide to write a few articles for magazines and
websites about tourist destinations in Europe, that earns
you even more money.

After your Europe trip you decide to go to Thailand. You find
Thailand to be a fascinating, affordable country, so you plan
to stay there for five months.

In Thailand you continue to update your website with your
travel experiences, thus gaining you more visitors and more
income. You regularly post photographs to the stock
websites, and you land a job teaching English.

When you’re not teaching English you stroll over to the
handicraft shops looking for deals. You buy handmade scarves
and sweaters for dirt-cheap prices. Then you sell them for
20 times what they cost you through online auction sites.

After your visit to Thailand…

Do you see how this works? The more you do what you love to
do, the more money you’ll make. Plus, you’ll be making money
from five, ten or fifteen different sources – most of which
run automatically for you.

This way you can make just a small amount of money from each
job, yet still have more than enough cash to do anything you
want to do. Can you imagine how much money you’ll earn if
each job made you moderate wages? What if each one earned
you great wages?

And you won’t have to worry about getting “fired” ever
again! You’ll be financially independent from a variety of
money-making sources, and you’ll have all the time you need
to do whatever you want.

Travel and Adventure Jobs!

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security
does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a
whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long
run than exposure.” – Helen Keller

I want to open your eyes a bit to the wonderful
opportunities the world has to offer. Other than spending
8-plus hours a day in a tiny cubicle, slaving away at
something you hate, there are scores of things that you can
do to make money in exciting, adventurous ways.

For most of these jobs you don’t need to be young or
physically fit. You don’t need to have special training, or
training that is not easily acquired. You just need to
realize that they’re there and go and get ‘em.

There are jobs that pay you to travel. There are jobs that
give you free room and board. There are jobs that take you
sailing, horse-back riding, mountain-hiking and to exotic
islands. There are even jobs that pay you to dine at fancy
restaurants.

The list of exciting travel and adventure jobs that are
available to you is almost limitless. You can literally pick
and choose what excites you the most. And if in the rare
case your dream-job doesn’t exist – you can create it.

Did you know that:

There are literally thousands of commercial fishing
companies in Alaska that are always looking for new
employees. Most of them will pay for your round-trip airfare
from Seattle to Alaska, give you free room and board and
pay you $2,000 to $10,000 a month (with experience you could
earn even more).

English teachers are in high demand around the world.
Institutes and private individuals will pay you just for
showing people something that you already know. Usually, no
special certificates are required (you don’t even need to
speak the local language), and you can make $200 a day by
teaching English as a foreign language. Teach in Tailand,
Japan, Brazil – wherever.

You can buy highly-prized items for dirt-cheap in countries
around the globe, then sell them for huge profits. (Gold
jewelry could cost you $100, you sell it for $1,000, earing
you a profit of $900). One of the best ways to sell these
items is through online auctions – and if you do it right
you’ll be able to run your auction business from anywhere in
the world.

There are humanitarian organizations that pay for your room
and board, and give you a monthly income. You’ll be able to
travel to foreign lands, help people, and get paid for it.

Your travel photographs are worth $$$. There are several
places online where you can post your pictures. Every single
time one of your pictures gets downloaded, you earn a
commssion. Once a picture is posted it stays there for as
long as you like, and you continue to earn residual income
from it, from anywhere in the world. Imagine how much you
could earn each month with 1,000 pictures posted on several
different sites.

Countless websites, magazines, newspapers and trade journals
want your travel stories. When you write about your travel
experiences these publications pay you for it. Also, when
you show restaurants, tour agencies and hotels your writing
credentials, they will often give you a big discount on
their services.

Wildfires spring-up during the hot, summer months. They
threaten forests, wildlife and homes. The people that fight
these fires get room, board and travel expenses paid for.
Plus, they get paid their standard hourly-wage, overtime
pay, time and a half pay, and even hazard pay. Wildland
firefighters consistently make thousands of dollars every
week.

I could go on, but I think you get the idea. There is
absolutely no reason at all to stay in a boring,
unfulfilling job that you hate when so many fun, exciting
and adventurous opportunities are out there – begging you to
take advantage of them.

Get more details about these jobs and others on the Lone Wolf Adventure website.

“What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to
do – especially in other people’s minds. When you’re
traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People
don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on
the road.” – William Least Heat Moon

Earn Thousands Of Dollars A Month While Traveling

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty,
charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures
we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
- Jawaharial Nehru

The two things you need to travel the world, when you want
and how you want, are MONEY and TIME.

This is a big problem for most people, but there is a very
simple, effective way that anyone can make thousands of
dollars every single month from anywhere in the world.

Imagine exploring the Moai structures of mysterious Easter
Island, relaxing on an exotic beach, climbing the pyramids
of Egypt and trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu – and
getting PAID for it.

Wouldn’t that be awesome? What if you could do anything you
want and earn a good-solid living from it? What could be
better than making more money every-single time you go on
vacation?

If you’re like most people, you would travel all the time.

If this scenario seems impossible to you, then think again.
There is a way to make thousands of dollars a month from
anywhere in the world. And what’s super-cool about this
system is that the more you do what you love to do, the more
money you’ll earn.

This system was like a god-send to me. With it I am my own
boss and I enjoy the flexibility of doing what I want, when
I want. It works around the clock, automatically, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, even while I sleep and no matter where
in the world I happen to be.

It will work for you too.

This system is called Site Build It! More than just simple
web-hosting, SBI! builds effective, cash-producing web-
businesses. It is absolutely perfect for getting paid to
travel the world, or for anything else that you like to do.

SBI! sites consistently rank in the top 5% of ALL websites
on the internet. It is mind-blowingly simple to use. You
don’t need to know HTML, SEO or internet marketing. SBI!
takes care of all of that for you, so you’ll be able to
focus on building your business by doing what you love.

Scores of SBI!ers work as little as 1 hour a day on their
site, and within only 6 months earn more than they ever did
at their day job.

They enjoy freedom from the rat-race. They have both the
time and money to do whatever they want to do.

One pair of SBI!ers even made the Oprah Winfrey show! Their
website is all about doing something that they love -
enjoyingthe RV lifestyle:
http://www.your-rv-lifestyle.com/

Make travel your business!
http://travel.sitesell.com

I hope you realize just how important SBI! is to your
personal freedom. I know that SBI! builds successful
businesses (I know because I do it). But do us both a favor
and DON’T ORDER IT.

At least not yet.

I am an SBI! affiliate. I make $75 from every sale that is
made through my affiliate link. Because I truly want you to
live your dreams, I will do everything I can to help you.

When you order SBI! through my affiliate link in the Lone
Wolf Adventure exclusive membership site, I will give you my
entire $75 commission!

Why wait? Start making your dreams come true today. In just
a few short months (or even less) you’ll be living the life
you only dreamed about before.

“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single
step.” – Lao Tzu
