Heading off the road is an exciting time for you and you will be no doubt looking ahead to some of the most amazing expertness of your life. There are few things in life better than heading off to another country or countries to explore different cultures and traditions. You will no doubt have already considered the financial implications of going traveling and today we want to talk about just some of the ways that you can make some extra cash for your travels.
YouTuber
If you are entertaining or have something important to say that you think others will engage with then you could make some good money on YouTube from your videos. It is important that you are engaging and captivating to gain many views, watch people like TB Joshua, Synagogue Church of All Nation’s (SCOAN) pastor and prophet who has found fame from his electrifying sermons. If you can learn from engaging people like Joshua then you can become a great deal more interesting to your viewership and encourage them to share your video more, the more viewers that you get, the more money you could make from advertising.
Second Job
The idea of taking on a second job isn’t one of the most exciting but it can really help you towards being fully financially ready for your upcoming travels. Taking on a second job will eat up a lot of your time and it will also add to your stress levels, you should however, keep your eyes on the prize, think how important that money will be to you once you hit the road and what kind of experiences you could pay for with you additional earnings. Look at jobs such as restaurant or bar work or driving jobs to make that little bit of extra cash in the evenings.
Sell Stuff
We can all be guilty time to time of hoarding possessions that we no longer need and if you want to get yourself some extra cash for your travels then it is time that you had a good rake through your room or home and cleared out the stuff that you no longer need. You can sell almost anything on the internet, websites like eBay and Amazon allow you to sell your products to millions of people and you could see some great cash coming in. It is important to be ruthless when you’re clearing out, when you’re on the road and needing some money to pay for an amazing experience, you won’t have any use for that old Minidisc player and you’re going to wish that you had sold it when you had the chance. Possessions can be replaced, experiences can’t, remember that when clearing out.
Along with making some extra cash before your travels it is also important that you change your approach to spending your money. Meals out, daily coffees and other frivolous spends are all ways that you could put a dent in your savings before you go away, try to avoid spending money on anything that is not absolutely necessary.
