This is the Delectable Skill Sandwich of Portable Careers

April 30, 2013 by FutureExpat

This is the Delectable Skill Sandwich of Portable Careers

I remember loving fluffernutter and banana sandwiches as a kid. A thick layer of creamy peanut butter, another thick layer of marshmallow cream, topped with sliced banana circles.

They were like an ice cream sundae in a sandwich as far as I was concerned. Heaven!

Now there’s a easy way to meld writing, photography and travel into an equally delectable skill sandwich that will support your life overseas.

I’m talking about travel blogging.

You can do it on your own time schedule.

You don’t have to submit queries or work with editors.

You’re the boss.

When you’re a travel blogger, you get paid to share your travel adventures on your own blog, through your own writing and photography.

Travel bloggers like Emily and Mark or Nomadic Matt make a full-time income and fund their travels from their blogs.

Develop the Skills You Need

As with any career, you need some basic skills and some fundamental knowledge. Some of us do it the slow, hard way, learning as we go by trial and error.

If you’d rather shortcut the process, there’s a new program available. It will cost you a few bucks, but save you oodles of time and aggravation.

From AWAI, a company that trains writers and other freelancers, you can now get Money-Making Travel Blogs: Your Step-by-Step Guide for Turning Adventures and Hobbies into Income.

I’ll be honest, I’ve not gone through the program yet, but I’ve learned a lot from other AWAI programs and I also write regularly for them.

They’re so confident it’s a great program that they’re offering a full one year, 100% money back guarantee if you don’t think it lives up to its promises.

You can learn all about the program here.
