I have posted two videos about punjab village vlog... Please qatch it if you are interested.... Please sir pin this comment.. That is so helpful for me. 😍 love you big fan..
Hello guys 👋, So sorry for the random approach but you all seem to be an ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you're open minded to look a new way of generating an income, it may or may not be a fit for you but if I send you some info would you check it out 🙂
This was a really great video with great suggestions. I do agree with you that unlike what most people think, having your own channel, your own brand, is a lot of work. We don’t see the hard work of content creators behind the scenes. We just see the results! Thx again for this very informative video ☺️
Hello, the video was very interesting, I shared it, my friends also enjoyed watching it, overall you have a good channel, it is very useful for me and my family, thank you
Guys seriously, if you want to get paid to travel, it’s going to take time and effort. Don’t expect it to be easy. It might take 3 or 4 years but if you put in the hard work it’ll happen. Start a channel. Upload a video at least every other day of the week. Make them fun and good. And you will see progress after a while. Don’t waste time. And don’t make excuses because I’m the end. The good things in life are only earned by those who put in the most time and effort. That’s all I have to say. Good luck!
Hector, totally true here! People think I’m lying about this but the truth is it can happen it just takes a lot of work and expecting instantly results isn’t reality
It's great to hear that the key is to work hard. It's easy to watch youtube travel videos, read travel blogs and think... oh the key is to be gorgeous and fit or to have lots of money etc. What people really enjoy reading and watching is someone enthusiastic who works hard to provide the best information. Thanks again :)
Marcus, really appreciate you commenting -- I wish it had it all figured out, but every day is a grind, but if you're doing what you love it doesn't feel as much like work Let me know if I can help!
I have a passion for traveling , traveling is literally my life in summary but in my country it's kinda hard to have an audience unless you're incredibly gorgeous or funny plus there are not many travel bloggers here . All I know is I won't give up on my dream
Maybe focus on your hustle? Think about Tim Ferris and his 4 hour work week. His whole brand is around his drive and never giving up, so teach people how to be as resilient as you are!
I want to do a travel/lifestyle blog on my life after having a tragic accident where I died and came back to life. I want to focus on travel with lifestyle on the side. What do you think of this idea? Can you think of any catchy names that would work?
Thank you for this video you post. I want to try to make travel vlog also. And thankfully i found this video, and I will do the every step you teach us. Thank you very much. God bless you!
Thank you for the advice! Your content is amazing! We try our best to be dedicated and focus on our goal, but unfortunately we live in Greece and travelblogging is not that developed yet.
That’s okay. Just focus on telling other visitors all about Greece Greece is where we want to visit first when this is over. The four seasons outside Athens
Hey there, I wanted to share with you someone new I just created for you: In an effort to get closer to my audience I started a FB Group? I think you'll like it. Do you want to check it out? facebook.com/groups/creditcardpoints
Kristen, 100%. This is going to take a lot longer than you anticipate it will. I'm still nowhere near my revenue goals for this, but what I can tell you is every day, my content is getting better and I'm getting one step closer
Trang Le due really believe in Fortune ..I think maybe Yu try jesus sounds like your for something ..he can actually tell things that will happen next ...stay cool.
"Every day, there's always more work I could be doing" - Amen! I have been toying with the idea of starting a travel blog / family travel / bucket list lifestyle blog for a while now, and decided to do a search for "travel blog" - your video was one of my first results. Liked, subscribed, feeling inspired. Thanks for creating this.
Awesome Didi! Every day it’s more work but at least I’ve started. The hardest first step is just doing it. A year from now you’ll look back at how far you came. Just do it!
We're just starting out in our travel blogger journey and it definitely is a steep learning curve! Totally agree that you need a lot of grit to stick with it!
Kia, here's a response I just sent to another college student, hope this helps: While I would love for you to sign up and start your blog, it's going to fail unless you make it a priority. I'll tell you I wish I started doing this back in college. In college, I started selling computers on eBay, and while I made money, it was a lot of hard work and didn't scale. For each computer I sold, it wasn't adding up to something like TH-cam does. On TH-cam, for each video you create, you build an asset that's going to increase your audience and your income. If you did 1 video every week of college, after 4 years you'd have 208 videos, of which would probably provide you $500 - $1000 in earnings, at a minimum, and it could be an extra income stream (or full-time income stream if you increased your production quality and volume). It's all about what your dreams and goals are and whether you want to work for them. It's not easy, but I think going to a job 40 hours a week would be a nightmare.
Wow, that's incredible. I think it's even better if you go phone-only, you'll be in a class of your own! Checkout my new video this monday, I'm be sharing how to start a travel blog without a professional camera which is just what you're doing :)
Wow I’m surprised your channel only has ~20k subscribers. Very high quality shots, you have many successful experiences, and you’ve posted a lot throughout the last couple of years. Why do you think that is? Is TH-cam now a medium you focus on?
Awesome video! I have seen videos where the topic is about earning money online without a website but now I see the benefits of having a physical presence via a website. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on what it takes to succeed in making money online. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
So earning without a website is good, but the thing is, it's really hard to sell that business. When you have a website, you can sell the business. I'm selling one of my companies and am getting 3X yearly earnings. You can't do that if you don't have a site where this all happens.
I’m just a viewer like you but pretty creative with names. I created a name for a friend’s networking and sales company in Los Angeles and she ran with it. DM me if you want to brainstorm.
I appreciate you being so open and actually replying back to us. I really want to do this but on the other hand, let's be real , it is a lot to keep up with. Being a college student really takes a toll but I really would love this . Definitely will watch this over and over
Sabrina, while I would love for you to sign up and start your blog, it's going to fail unless you make it a priority. I'll tell you I wish I started doing this back in college. In college, I started selling computers on eBay, and while I made money, it was a lot of hard work and didn't scale. For each computer I sold, it wasn't adding up to something like TH-cam does.

Life, Tailored [Andrew Wise] Wow that is literally my mindset every day . TH-cam is something I have a passion for and I want to get into as well. I enjoy baking and I want to make a channel , however , I don’t know how to. Is there any tips you can provide on doing so?
TH-cam has a ton of tutorials on how to launch a vlog, I can put up my own as well to document how I'm shooting everything. I leearned from Peter Mckinnon
$1000 for what? Each trip is different, some we don't get sponsored, some they pay us, $10k to travel. It all depends and only gets better the more you do it and the larger your brand
I am so thrilled that I found your website! I have just started working on building and becoming a travel blogger/writer and I am happy to know that I was on the right path, I just needed someone like you to push me into the right direction and give me the best information about the where, how and why. I have already saved this video and I am going to go back to rewatch taking notes and putting my plans into action. I had set a goal to be able to become fulltime in 24 months and I now believe that by learning from you, I will definitely make that goal a reality! Thank you so much for your honesty, and truly useful and motivating advice! Can't wait to see what is next!
Congrats Tammy! What steps are you making to hit your goal? I would suggest smaller goals like your first $100 month, first $1000 month etc to keep you energized
Hey there, I wanted to share with you someone new I just created for you: In an effort to get closer to my audience I started a FB Group? I think you'll like it. Do you want to check it out? facebook.com/groups/creditcardpoints
Thanks for the great tips! We recently started our travel channel about traveling in places like national parks, and this advice should help us to grow our channel!
LET ME START BY SAYING WOW 👏 This has literally been one of THE BEST content videos that I have watched since studying and doing my research before actually posting my own TH-cam Vlog, I Mean The quality and knowledge given in this video is literally amazing you truly have inspired me , I even let your ad video play all the way through and saved this video to go back and watch in the future 🙌 your work is amazing , I AM NOW A FAN !! People like you are who I wish I had as a mentor in life
I’m really glad that I came across your video. I have started traveling with my husband for our auto transport business and working on checking off bucket list activities and destinations. Blogging and vlogging have interested me for some time, but the question of where to begin definitely loomed over any other ideas that I have had. Now, with 700 miles to go until we reach our first stop in Texas, I certainly have some specific things to brainstorm. Thank you for helping to narrow that list down. From operating our business, to my personal struggle to downsize to adjust to life in a Peterbilt and so many other things that pop up along the way, I have options for content, but haven’t had the direction on how to sensibly incorporate it all. Thanks again! I look forward to digging further into your channel and beginning this new venture.
What do you think of "Neverending Waypoint"? Also, where do I get your sweater? My boyfriend would love it. I really appreciated this information. I'm wanting to get serious about starting one.
I'm so grateful for this. I've worked in community service for 25 years. In a ruff neighborhood. I've been thinking of changing careers now that my child is grown I'm free to take this step. Is it realistic to be a travel blogger with a full time job?
This is the BEST free instructional video I have EVER seen. Everyone else is always just trying to sell you their online course. I will be def be following and checking out your other videos. Thanks so much.
Torti, wow, so glad you enjoyed it -- my goal really is to inspire people and show them how they can do it. I am selling something, full disclosure, Bluehost hosting, which is still the CHEAPEST way to get your blog online. I wanted to invite you to a private Facebook group we just launched: facebook.com/groups/creditcardpoints
thankyou soo much today i decided to start my blog and the first video i saw is yours and this is really helpfull cleared a lot of stuff in my head now i am sorted specially the last summary u gave i think every new blogger should see this video for the beginning started following u on instagram also. thankyou soo much for all the help.
Sana so glad I inspired you! Use the momentum to do as much as you can. You will get burned out and hopefully can come back to this video in a couple months to get that fire again. Keep grinding
I was wondering if you could talk a little more about how to look for, identify and contact restaurants and how to properly pitch them to take photos for them. I would love to try my hand at this.
Mike, absolutely, so this is something we are doing for Capture, reaching out to clients in NYC. Essentially we're going through any listing that has less than 10 photos or just bad photos in general, and then are emailing them. It takes a lot of outreach and your success rate will maybe be 1/100 but each client can be worth $100s or $1000s depending on how much work you give them, especially if they need video. Another good tip is to check Seamless.com or some delivery site and find restaurants that don't have photos for their store to contact
Thanks for sharing...I have been doing a lot of research about travel blogging, i love to travel and i would love to start it as a side hustle, my only problem is writing, i feel like i am not a good writer and might not catch the audience attention with how i pass my message across.
Bimbo, that's great you have the motivation to get going, so I would say just like anything, it takes practice. If you're not naturally a good writer, then try to write as you speak, it'll come across as more authentic. And the thing is, when it comes to travel blogging, it's all about the photos and videos, they are "worth a thousand words". Good luck!
WOW!!! That was A LOT of information. I better get started. I just got back from the US, UK and Europe and didn't blog. I am leaving January 1, 2020 to West Africa and would love to blog about all the places I am staying, flying with, eating at, touring etc. There is so much opportunity. How can I start NOW.
Darlene, epic travels! Start taking photos, and putting your notes down onto a website. There's a link in the description with instructions for how to start your blog, but it's going to be up to you to chronicle your travels and make great travel guides. It takes time but you'll get there if you work at it every day.
The video is full of great information and very inspiring. My husband and I were talking about doing this, we are both plus sized, so we are hoping this could be our niche. How plus size friendly some places are.
thanks for the advice, been thinking about starting a blog but wasn't sure of a niche to get started but this is quite inspiring, may actyally start one as a hobby and see how it goes :)
I'm a 32 year old tractor trailer mechanic who lives in nowhere Pennsylvania. Just finished a trip to South of France with some friends and someone suggested I start a travel blog and this is the first video I've watched. Seems like a lot of work but maybe I can make this happen. It's work I'd love doing.
How much do you think it willl cost upfront starting off? Especially before you start getting paid. I already have most of the equipment, the cameras, lenses, mics, lights, action cams, gimbals, and drones. Just need a good estimate on starting costs
Hi Andrew, I am a new Enterpreneur, but working full time job and I am planning to have a side hustle doing a travel blog to earn so I can help get my mom to come in CANADA too. But I need professional Gadgets to do it I guess. Thanks for these tips and I will check on being an Affiliate 😊😊
this is an amazing video! i don't think people understand how much work goes into growing our channel so that people see our content. I love making amazing content for my followers and pour my soul into this. meeting my followers in public is so rewarding. Keep up the great and informative videos man!!!!!!!
Love your channel I have subscribed and feeling so inspired. I have a lifestyle blog that I am working on right now but always wanted to do a travel blog as a single mother. Where should I start with that? Especially right now because of COVID. This is my dream, I love to travel and want to experience every culture. Thank you in advance for writing back.
Beatrice, what's great about right now is nobody has cornered the new way we are traveling. Where people are staying in vacation homes for months as opposed to weekends, so people need to know even more about places. We're thinking about Palm Springs as a winter rental but don't know anything about what it's like to live there for 2 years
Man, my full-time job is a freelance videographer and I’ve been looking for ways to expand my reach and ability to create more revenue streams. Thinking about starting a travel blog to go along with my travel videos. Thank you so much for all the details and ideas you provided! I feel like I need to pay you for all of that info hahaha
Thank you for sharing your stories, it inspires me to become a travel blogger too. I hope 2019 is not too late to start trying! Any feedback is welcome :D
Thank you for taking the time to create this amazing video, I have but a question- What type of video, photo editing software /equipment i.e Drone, Selfie sticks, Gyros should one invest in to begin this journey? any advise will be much appreciated.
Thanks for subscribing! I went overboard and bought all this gear that I'm not really using, so instead of thinking about what gear to get, instead I would focus on what storytelling you'd like to tell. If you like the drone shots that are wide and expansive, go for the drone If you want to walk the streets and talk over it, then the gimbal is the way to go I like to buy all my gear at a discount, so I typically buy used from Amazon and use my Prime card to get 5% more off of it If you're considering any gear, let me know and I'll steer you in the right direction
My wife and I have traveled to 6 continents and 40+ countries. We love to travel and now we are looking to do it full time. Thanks for the video and if you have more advice on how we can use our past trips that would help too. Thanks!
I absolutely love your videos. And I like the fact that you are very honest about your paid sponsorships. My husband and I fly free and I work from home my husband works outside the home and owns his own business. We want to start our travel vlog and your videos are helping us a lot get started.
So this is a great video. Maybe if you get the chance do a video/give some advice on how one would go about using google ads as a travel blogger. There does not seem to be any videos on youtube catered towards how a travel blogger should navigate that space
That's a great question and one I really don't have an answer to right now The key thing is, travel blogs don't make a lot of money, so you need to develop something you can sell: like a course guide tool Then you can run Adwords to that tool
Great video. I have been told by a number of people that I should start my own travel blog. Hopefully once this Covid-19 is out of the way, I can begin to think 🤔 about this in more detail.
Hey there, I wanted to share with you someone new I just created for you: In an effort to get closer to my audience I started a FB Group? I think you'll like it. Do you want to check it out? facebook.com/groups/creditcardpoints
This is great!! I am really considering this for myself as a new career path. I love to travel and help people and I think this might be a good idea for me. However I am not 100% sure what I want to wright about. And with everything that is going on today my full time job might be at risk for me. I would love to do something food based but I don't want it to be just anything, I am a christian and I want to be able to help people and inspire them and just be there for them. I also love Mission work and experiencing the world around me. I have thought of "Dinner and a Show" as a name and just trying different foods, making things at home, and experiencing different sights and and activities from the location that I am in. I know that you explain a lot in your video on how to get started but I and still a little foggy on who I talk to and what I do right from the get go. I wish that I could have thought about this 5 years ago while on the adventure of a lifetime!
Great video! Thanks for sharing these tips! But i have one question: did you reach to those hotels first or they reach you for the paid promotion? Or do you know any platforms that connect travel bloggers and hotels?
Hotels will almost never reach out to an influencer, but rather you need to reach out to them first and build up your network There are a couple I've seen, but nothing really stands out as an awesome option You can find most press contacts on the hotel's website, then it's up to you to present a good package for them
Hey Andrew, great video.. I'm in travel field since last 4 years and just going to start blogging part as well. You're doing superb work which motivated me a lot.. I'm very new to blogging section so need your regular guidance onto the same.. Thanks..
Thanks for the kind words. I always feel like I can do better but hopefully I can inspire others. How can I help? I’d love if you could continue this conversation on Instagram @lifetailored 🙋♂️
Hi there Andrew! I simply wanted to thank you for an incredibly thorough video on how to become a travel blogger ! Every time I come back from a country, I'm already imagining myself at the next destination. I have so many photos and videos and I know I have potential here. I'm working on a 40 under 40 travel goal so perhaps this can become the theme to my website. Still brainstorming domain names. I have subscribed to your TH-cam page and just started following you on Instagram as well. Thanks Again for re-kindling my love for traveling and wanting to share it with the world!
Love this video! How fun to get paid to travel and help people at the same time. Thank you so much for the tips and sharing your story. You are an inspiration!
Thank you for this advice!! I’ve been wanting to start a travel blog for families with multiple children or twins. Any ideas on how I can stand out or products I should specialize in?
That’s a great concept! I would say start local. Focus on your friends in the city you live in now. Get them excited about the content and expand from there
Is there any website you would suggest for finding if your domain name is taken or not? Also, are there any other cameras you would suggest for filming? What do you use for lighting? What do you use for editing? And what works best (for you) for getting your name out there and well known? Thank you for your help!
Use godaddy.com their tool will tell you Check my description of the video but there are tons of cameras. All depends your style. You can film with an iPhone I like aperture lighting kits. But honestly any cheap ring light is good to start Editing is premiere pro. Getting my name out there, well commenting and collaborating like you’re doing now is a great start. Comment on all your favorite educators on TH-cam and offer to help them. They may feature you
i want to start a blog, but i don’t know what to focus on! i love to travel, but also have so many notes about hot spots and restaurants in the city i live in. i also love health and fitness, and to cook! helpppp hahha
Lizzie, so my advice is to start super small and targeted. What would your friends want to know about most? Create something that answers their questions and share it with them
OMG thank you so much... I'm going to start working on this wonderful opportunity right away!! Wow there's a reason why people come into your life..! Thank you! 💖
Hey, great video ! I got a question i would love to build my own website and because i think it's the fundation of the rest i would like to know from you what is the best laptop i can use for this proces. Let me know what you think ! Greetings from Holland
Great Video, Just Liked and subscribed. Think I’m set with a name for website/ Channel / media etc, will let you know when I have registered them. Question on equipment, not working at the moment due to Covid-19 but have some savings/ investment, as far as equipment goes do you think I can start with an iPhone , I have a 7, shoot a few videos before I get into an actual digital camera, or do I need to upgrade to an 8 or higher? Want to do voiceovers so got a basic desk setup, Tri Stand for mobile, included light and Mike stand, and a dynamic mic, I’m looking for an audio interface/ sound card any suggestions on how much to spend, in euros, I live in France, for a first unit?

Hello guys 👋, So sorry for the random approach but you all seem to be an ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you're open minded to look a new way of generating an income, it may or may not be a fit for you but if I send you some info would you check it out 🙂
i have never seen a SEO score of 100. Congratulations and hats off to you to even get this score
i used to not care about travelling until 2019 brought me the opportunities of 16 trips and i fell in love with this activity :D
Amazing! What was your favorite
Great content very useful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge I'm glad i found you channel 💯💯

Hello Andrew! Thanks for publishing this type of video. Loved it!
love this vid thankyou!!!! We are also full time travellers, so good isn't it!
Thank you for this video you post. I want to try to make travel vlog also. And thankfully i found this video, and I will do the every step you teach us. Thank you very much. God bless you!
Wow! I’ve never heard that much information on free video! Thank you! I got inspired!
Thank you for the advice! Your content is amazing! We try our best to be dedicated and focus on our goal, but unfortunately we live in Greece and travelblogging is not that developed yet.
That’s okay. Just focus on telling other visitors all about Greece
Greece is where we want to visit first when this is over. The four seasons outside Athens
@@LifeTailored Thank you so much for answering❤️ We will try to focus on Greece😉
People really need to take a chance and pursue their dreams. Good for you and let's hope more people are inspired to travel!

A lot of tips🤗 I just love watching this video. Thank you
Thank you for your honesty. People like to say how easy it is to start something new... don't quit your day job... build and grind.
Kristen, 100%. This is going to take a lot longer than you anticipate it will.
I'm still nowhere near my revenue goals for this, but what I can tell you is every day, my content is getting better and I'm getting one step closer
I was eating a fortune cookie while watching this. My fortune: “you will travel and come into a fortune”
That’s amazing. It’s meant to be
Trang Le I. Had. That. Same. 1. I never. Happend tho
Trang Le due really believe in Fortune ..I think maybe Yu try jesus sounds like your for something ..he can actually tell things that will happen next ...stay cool.
Great video. New friend here. Let's connect to one another.
Yesss manifest it 👏🏾👏🏾🌸
"Every day, there's always more work I could be doing" - Amen!

We're just starting out in our travel blogger journey and it definitely is a steep learning curve! Totally agree that you need a lot of grit to stick with it!
Wow! TY Andrew, this video superseded my expectations. My mind is racing with ideas. You're brilliant 👏
I've watched so many of these videos and this one was absolutely the best! it inspired me so much ! I'm so happy I came across it !!
Jessie, amazing! Such kind words, let me know how we can help!
im currently in college and this is basically what i want my career to be. thank you so much!!
Kia, here's a response I just sent to another college student, hope this helps:
While I would love for you to sign up and start your blog, it's going to fail unless you make it a priority.
I'll tell you I wish I started doing this back in college. In college, I started selling computers on eBay, and while I made money, it was a lot of hard work and didn't scale. For each computer I sold, it wasn't adding up to something like TH-cam does.
On TH-cam, for each video you create, you build an asset that's going to increase your audience and your income. If you did 1 video every week of college, after 4 years you'd have 208 videos, of which would probably provide you $500 - $1000 in earnings, at a minimum, and it could be an extra income stream (or full-time income stream if you increased your production quality and volume).
It's all about what your dreams and goals are and whether you want to work for them. It's not easy, but I think going to a job 40 hours a week would be a nightmare.
I think its what a lot people strive to be lmao😂
Just wanted to thank you and let you know you gave me the courage to follow my dreams and taught myself everything and I’m doing it all with my phone.
Wow, that's incredible. I think it's even better if you go phone-only, you'll be in a class of your own!
Checkout my new video this monday, I'm be sharing how to start a travel blog without a professional camera which is just what you're doing :)
Wow I’m surprised your channel only has ~20k subscribers. Very high quality shots, you have many successful experiences, and you’ve posted a lot throughout the last couple of years.
Why do you think that is? Is TH-cam now a medium you focus on?
Awesome video! I have seen videos where the topic is about earning money online without a website but now I see the benefits of having a physical presence via a website. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on what it takes to succeed in making money online. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
So earning without a website is good, but the thing is, it's really hard to sell that business.
When you have a website, you can sell the business. I'm selling one of my companies and am getting 3X yearly earnings. You can't do that if you don't have a site where this all happens.
I came across your video by slip but this was truly a warm one. Great work, brother!
Great video! Any tips on brainstorming a name for a travel blog? I'm stumped and it's been driving me crazy
I’m just a viewer like you but pretty creative with names. I created a name for a friend’s networking and sales company in Los Angeles and she ran with it. DM me if you want to brainstorm.
I appreciate you being so open and actually replying back to us. I really want to do this but on the other hand, let's be real , it is a lot to keep up with. Being a college student really takes a toll but I really would love this . Definitely will watch this over and over
Sabrina, while I would love for you to sign up and start your blog, it's going to fail unless you make it a priority.
I'll tell you I wish I started doing this back in college. In college, I started selling computers on eBay, and while I made money, it was a lot of hard work and didn't scale. For each computer I sold, it wasn't adding up to something like TH-cam does.
On TH-cam, for each video you create, you build an asset that's going to increase your audience and your income. If you did 1 video every week of college, after 4 years you'd have 208 videos, of which would probably provide you $500 - $1000 in earnings, at a minimum, and it could be an extra income stream (or full-time income stream if you increased your production quality and volume).
It's all about what your dreams and goals are and whether you want to work for them. It's not easy, but I think going to a job 40 hours a week would be a nightmare.
Life, Tailored [Andrew Wise] Wow that is literally my mindset every day . TH-cam is something I have a passion for and I want to get into as well. I enjoy baking and I want to make a channel , however , I don’t know how to. Is there any tips you can provide on doing so?
TH-cam has a ton of tutorials on how to launch a vlog, I can put up my own as well to document how I'm shooting everything. I leearned from Peter Mckinnon
$1000 for what? Each trip is different, some we don't get sponsored, some they pay us, $10k to travel. It all depends and only gets better the more you do it and the larger your brand
I am so thrilled that I found your website! I have just started working on building and becoming a travel blogger/writer and I am happy to know that I was on the right path, I just needed someone like you to push me into the right direction and give me the best information about the where, how and why. I have already saved this video and I am going to go back to rewatch taking notes and putting my plans into action. I had set a goal to be able to become fulltime in 24 months and I now believe that by learning from you, I will definitely make that goal a reality! Thank you so much for your honesty, and truly useful and motivating advice! Can't wait to see what is next!
Congrats Tammy! What steps are you making to hit your goal?
I would suggest smaller goals like your first $100 month, first $1000 month etc to keep you energized
love how youre real about it not happening overnight and what really will set anyone apart is ACTUALLY acting on the inspo
thank you! queen
Hey there, I wanted to share with you someone new I just created for you:
In an effort to get closer to my audience I started a FB Group? I think you'll like it. Do you want to check it out?

@@LifeTailored i found you on fb, thanks for the invite
Thanks for the great tips! We recently started our travel channel about traveling in places like national parks, and this advice should help us to grow our channel!
LET ME START BY SAYING WOW 👏 This has literally been one of THE BEST content videos that I have watched since studying and doing my research before actually posting my own TH-cam Vlog, I Mean The quality and knowledge given in this video is literally amazing you truly have inspired me , I even let your ad video play all the way through and saved this video to go back and watch in the future 🙌 your work is amazing , I AM NOW A FAN !! People like you are who I wish I had as a mentor in life
I’m really glad that I came across your video. I have started traveling with my husband for our auto transport business and working on checking off bucket list activities and destinations. Blogging and vlogging have interested me for some time, but the question of where to begin definitely loomed over any other ideas that I have had. Now, with 700 miles to go until we reach our first stop in Texas, I certainly have some specific things to brainstorm. Thank you for helping to narrow that list down. From operating our business, to my personal struggle to downsize to adjust to life in a Peterbilt and so many other things that pop up along the way, I have options for content, but haven’t had the direction on how to sensibly incorporate it all. Thanks again! I look forward to digging further into your channel and beginning this new venture.
What do you think of "Neverending Waypoint"? Also, where do I get your sweater? My boyfriend would love it. I really appreciated this information. I'm wanting to get serious about starting one.
I'm so grateful for this. I've worked in community service for 25 years. In a ruff neighborhood. I've been thinking of changing careers now that my child is grown I'm free to take this step. Is it realistic to be a travel blogger with a full time job?
Betty, my wife works full time and we do this as our side hustle
This is the BEST free instructional video I have EVER seen. Everyone else is always just trying to sell you their online course. I will be def be following and checking out your other videos. Thanks so much.
Torti, wow, so glad you enjoyed it -- my goal really is to inspire people and show them how they can do it.
I am selling something, full disclosure, Bluehost hosting, which is still the CHEAPEST way to get your blog online.
I wanted to invite you to a private Facebook group we just launched: facebook.com/groups/creditcardpoints
thankyou soo much today i decided to start my blog and the first video i saw is yours and this is really helpfull cleared a lot of stuff in my head now i am sorted specially the last summary u gave i think every new blogger should see this video for the beginning started following u on instagram also. thankyou soo much for all the help.
Sana so glad I inspired you! Use the momentum to do as much as you can. You will get burned out and hopefully can come back to this video in a couple months to get that fire again. Keep grinding
I was wondering if you could talk a little more about how to look for, identify and contact restaurants and how to properly pitch them to take photos for them. I would love to try my hand at this.
Mike, absolutely, so this is something we are doing for Capture, reaching out to clients in NYC. Essentially we're going through any listing that has less than 10 photos or just bad photos in general, and then are emailing them. It takes a lot of outreach and your success rate will maybe be 1/100 but each client can be worth $100s or $1000s depending on how much work you give them, especially if they need video. Another good tip is to check Seamless.com or some delivery site and find restaurants that don't have photos for their store to contact
My husband and I are starting our travel vlog. We are retired and ready to do something different and we love to travel.
Thanks for sharing...I have been doing a lot of research about travel blogging, i love to travel and i would love to start it as a side hustle, my only problem is writing, i feel like i am not a good writer and might not catch the audience attention with how i pass my message across.
Bimbo, that's great you have the motivation to get going, so I would say just like anything, it takes practice.
If you're not naturally a good writer, then try to write as you speak, it'll come across as more authentic.
And the thing is, when it comes to travel blogging, it's all about the photos and videos, they are "worth a thousand words".
Good luck!
This was a dope video bro! Enjoyed the info!
Thanks Ryan, that means a lot coming from you!
WOW!!! That was A LOT of information. I better get started. I just got back from the US, UK and Europe and didn't blog. I am leaving January 1, 2020 to West Africa and would love to blog about all the places I am staying, flying with, eating at, touring etc. There is so much opportunity. How can I start NOW.
Darlene, epic travels! Start taking photos, and putting your notes down onto a website. There's a link in the description with instructions for how to start your blog, but it's going to be up to you to chronicle your travels and make great travel guides. It takes time but you'll get there if you work at it every day.
The video is full of great information and very inspiring. My husband and I were talking about doing this, we are both plus sized, so we are hoping this could be our niche. How plus size friendly some places are.
That's a great niche -- it's all about what you know and sharing that knowledge with your unique audience
thanks for the advice, been thinking about starting a blog but wasn't sure of a niche to get started but this is quite inspiring, may actyally start one as a hobby and see how it goes :)
Do it for fun and to get better at your craft
Hi Thank you for the great content, a quick question. what would you consider an extraordinary tourism experience?
I'm a 32 year old tractor trailer mechanic who lives in nowhere Pennsylvania. Just finished a trip to South of France with some friends and someone suggested I start a travel blog and this is the first video I've watched. Seems like a lot of work but maybe I can make this happen. It's work I'd love doing.
Did you start it?
@@never_divided no :/ I'm working on adding endorsements to my CDL
I really appreciate this video, am sure I'm going to do well after watching and taking the steps.
How much do you think it willl cost upfront starting off? Especially before you start getting paid. I already have most of the equipment, the cameras, lenses, mics, lights, action cams, gimbals, and drones. Just need a good estimate on starting costs
Hi Andrew, I am a new Enterpreneur, but working full time job and I am planning to have a side hustle doing a travel blog to earn so I can help get my mom to come in CANADA too. But I need professional Gadgets to do it I guess. Thanks for these tips and I will check on being an Affiliate 😊😊
Extremely informative! Thank you for this !
this is an amazing video! i don't think people understand how much work goes into growing our channel so that people see our content. I love making amazing content for my followers and pour my soul into this. meeting my followers in public is so rewarding. Keep up the great and informative videos man!!!!!!!
I'm 15 and I know I want to travel in the future. I'm trying to gain as much information as I can, and this video really helped! Thank you! 💝
Love your channel I have subscribed and feeling so inspired. I have a lifestyle blog that I am working on right now but always wanted to do a travel blog as a single mother. Where should I start with that? Especially right now because of COVID. This is my dream, I love to travel and want to experience every culture. Thank you in advance for writing back.
Beatrice, what's great about right now is nobody has cornered the new way we are traveling. Where people are staying in vacation homes for months as opposed to weekends, so people need to know even more about places. We're thinking about Palm Springs as a winter rental but don't know anything about what it's like to live there for 2 years
Can I start blogging on places without actually visiting those places?
Would also love to hear how you started your journey?
I would really recommend blogging about what you know and have visited. It'll be easier and more interesting for you
Man, my full-time job is a freelance videographer and I’ve been looking for ways to expand my reach and ability to create more revenue streams. Thinking about starting a travel blog to go along with my travel videos. Thank you so much for all the details and ideas you provided! I feel like I need to pay you for all of that info hahaha
As someone who just started off, this was so soooooo helpful!!
Thank you for sharing your stories, it inspires me to become a travel blogger too. I hope 2019 is not too late to start trying! Any feedback is welcome :D
I love this quote, "a year from now you'll wish you had started today."
@@LifeTailored Thank you, you're exactly right, I'm giving it my 100%.
Awesome, every day your goal is to make what you're doing just a little bit better, and slowly that momentum builds
This was a very interesting tip for everyone who wants to start a travel blog
Really enjoyed this video! The information you provided was so digestible and wasn’t too overwhelming. Thank you!
Very inspirational vlog, i am just starting to do.my travel vlog as well, i am learning from you, thanks❤️🙏
Thank you for taking the time to create this amazing video, I have but a question- What type of video, photo editing software /equipment i.e Drone, Selfie sticks, Gyros should one invest in to begin this journey? any advise will be much appreciated.
Thanks for subscribing!
I went overboard and bought all this gear that I'm not really using, so instead of thinking about what gear to get, instead I would focus on what storytelling you'd like to tell.
If you like the drone shots that are wide and expansive, go for the drone
If you want to walk the streets and talk over it, then the gimbal is the way to go
I like to buy all my gear at a discount, so I typically buy used from Amazon and use my Prime card to get 5% more off of it
If you're considering any gear, let me know and I'll steer you in the right direction
Hi Andrew. Thank you very much for this Interesting piece. I look forward to watching more of your video
Great I understood you very well I'm very interested I just need a great life coach such as urself look forward to more!
Leah, happy to help guide you -- please ask me any questions!
My wife and I have traveled to 6 continents and 40+ countries. We love to travel and now we are looking to do it full time. Thanks for the video and if you have more advice on how we can use our past trips that would help too. Thanks!
Would really love to learn how to use part trips for new posts as well!
Great.am really motivated by your tutorial.please I need more of this to become more successful as a travel blogger cos travel is my passion.thanks
I absolutely love your videos. And I like the fact that you are very honest about your paid sponsorships. My husband and I fly free and I work from home my husband works outside the home and owns his own business. We want to start our travel vlog and your videos are helping us a lot get started.
So this is a great video.
Maybe if you get the chance do a video/give some advice on how one would go about using google ads as a travel blogger. There does not seem to be any videos on youtube catered towards how a travel blogger should navigate that space
That's a great question and one I really don't have an answer to right now
The key thing is, travel blogs don't make a lot of money, so you need to develop something you can sell:
like a course
guide
tool
Then you can run Adwords to that tool
@@LifeTailored thanks g. I really appreciate that response. Biggups meng
Very helpful tips and very inspiring. We're going to use these tips to help grow our channel.
Great video. I have been told by a number of people that I should start my own travel blog. Hopefully once this Covid-19 is out of the way, I can begin to think 🤔 about this in more detail.

So much value on here... A huge thanks for sharing.
Johan, thanks buddy, what was the most useful so I can do more of that in the future?
Wow, best video ever, informative, you covered so much info. Can't wait to get started on my travel blog.
This is great!! I am really considering this for myself as a new career path. I love to travel and help people and I think this might be a good idea for me. However I am not 100% sure what I want to wright about. And with everything that is going on today my full time job might be at risk for me. I would love to do something food based but I don't want it to be just anything, I am a christian and I want to be able to help people and inspire them and just be there for them. I also love Mission work and experiencing the world around me. I have thought of "Dinner and a Show" as a name and just trying different foods, making things at home, and experiencing different sights and and activities from the location that I am in. I know that you explain a lot in your video on how to get started but I and still a little foggy on who I talk to and what I do right from the get go. I wish that I could have thought about this 5 years ago while on the adventure of a lifetime!
Thank you SOOO much! Great video, great information. I will look it few times to make some notes. Thank you again! 💖
Great video! Thanks for sharing these tips! But i have one question: did you reach to those hotels first or they reach you for the paid promotion? Or do you know any platforms that connect travel bloggers and hotels?
Hotels will almost never reach out to an influencer, but rather you need to reach out to them first and build up your network
There are a couple I've seen, but nothing really stands out as an awesome option
You can find most press contacts on the hotel's website, then it's up to you to present a good package for them
Life, Tailored [Andrew Wise] Awesome! Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing your experience. This help me alots
Thank you so much for this video is really inspiring to me , hopefully I can start my own blog
Claudia, you can do it! Start building right now. Seriously. Take that first step. If you don't, it will never happen.
Thanks a lot👏
I pray your business prosper more and more
Thanks for the support. Best of luck to you!

Hi there Andrew! I simply wanted to thank you for an incredibly thorough video on how to become a travel blogger ! Every time I come back from a country, I'm already imagining myself at the next destination. I have so many photos and videos and I know I have potential here. I'm working on a 40 under 40 travel goal so perhaps this can become the theme to my website. Still brainstorming domain names. I have subscribed to your TH-cam page and just started following you on Instagram as well. Thanks Again for re-kindling my love for traveling and wanting to share it with the world!
Great info! I have been wanting to start a travel blog and vlog
Love this video! How fun to get paid to travel and help people at the same time. Thank you so much for the tips and sharing your story. You are an inspiration!
Amber let me know if I can help with any specific questions!
This is great video for sharing, keep sending new update. keep safe and stay connected, sending my full support as always...
Thank you for this advice!! I’ve been wanting to start a travel blog for families with multiple children or twins. Any ideas on how I can stand out or products I should specialize in?
That’s a great concept! I would say start local. Focus on your friends in the city you live in now. Get them excited about the content and expand from there
Is there any website you would suggest for finding if your domain name is taken or not? Also, are there any other cameras you would suggest for filming? What do you use for lighting? What do you use for editing? And what works best (for you) for getting your name out there and well known?
Thank you for your help!
Use godaddy.com their tool will tell you
Check my description of the video but there are tons of cameras. All depends your style. You can film with an iPhone
I like aperture lighting kits. But honestly any cheap ring light is good to start
Editing is premiere pro. Getting my name out there, well commenting and collaborating like you’re doing now is a great start. Comment on all your favorite educators on TH-cam and offer to help them. They may feature you
This was awesome 👏- very detailed and honest- since IT is my everyday thing and what you hVe shared truly make sense
Thanks so much buddy! Let me know any questions we can answer
i want to start a blog, but i don’t know what to focus on! i love to travel, but also have so many notes about hot spots and restaurants in the city i live in. i also love health and fitness, and to cook! helpppp hahha
Lizzie, so my advice is to start super small and targeted. What would your friends want to know about most? Create something that answers their questions and share it with them
th-cam.com/video/xcMNMSwxV40/w-d-xo.html
OMG thank you so much... I'm going to start working on this wonderful opportunity right away!! Wow there's a reason why people come into your life..! Thank you! 💖
Thank you Martha, this is why I do this. Let me know how I can help!
Did u started?
Money isn't my issue.. I just want to reach out on social media, and learn how to edit and create videos.
that's what youtube is here for, so mayn resources

Hey, great video ! I got a question i would love to build my own website and because i think it's the fundation of the rest i would like to know from you what is the best laptop i can use for this proces.
Let me know what you think !
Greetings from Holland
Great Video, Just Liked and subscribed. Think I’m set with a name for website/ Channel / media etc, will let you know when I have registered them. Question on equipment, not working at the moment due to Covid-19 but have some savings/ investment, as far as equipment goes do you think I can start with an iPhone , I have a 7, shoot a few videos before I get into an actual digital camera, or do I need to upgrade to an 8 or higher? Want to do voiceovers so got a basic desk setup, Tri Stand for mobile, included light and Mike stand, and a dynamic mic, I’m looking for an audio interface/ sound card any suggestions on how much to spend, in euros, I live in France, for a first unit?
This video is a Treasure !!!
Glad I Found it
