$$ *influencer secrets* of getting PAID to TRAVEL & how you can too! | Road Trip Vlog

Hi, I’m Alex...I’m an aspiring travel and lifestyle content creator…on this channel, I want to share my journey, travel inspiration & guides, content creator tips, as well as the behind the scenes of being a content creator, and even spill some of the secrets that influencers often don’t tell you.
A few years ago when I would scroll social media, I would see content creators/influencers seemingly travelling constantly and I would wonder…
How are content creator making money??
Are influencers actually making any money while they travel?
How are influencers able to afford to travel so often??
Are these sponsored trips or are they paying to go?
As I got into content creation myself, and made friends within the industry, I finally understand how creators afford to travel … and I wanted to share what I learned!
Say hi :)

Also, a lot of "Travel" content creators end up netting just enough to pay for their lifestyle, and don't actually turn a profit.

This is very true! They make enough to travel but not much else

I’d love to go Hawaii, I met the operations manager of Billy Bishop and he said it’s amazing but expensive 😂 very Jurassic Park like. I’d also say Norway cause there’s been some wkd FPV footage there and I want to do it too

[@alex.hartleyy]

Hawaii is beautiful for sure!!

[@JohnStremble]

Iceland and Africa are definitely at the top of my list of places I'd love to travel for photos! What's your next destination goal Alex?

[@alex.hartleyy]

Iceland is definitely at the top of mine as well! Bali is also a spot I really want to visit .... 2 very typical creator/photographer destinations haha. Thanks for watching the video!
