Making Money

Due to the overwhelming response to our travel blog, we have decided to start a separate blog. This blog will share the various ways that we make money while we travel. Yes, we have proven that you can "Live and Travel on Minimum Wage". While our primary income is from the jobs that we work at, we do have many other methods that provide us with some nice secondary income.

Our first recommendation is to take a look at a book. Yes....you may need to invest a little, but it is well worth it. Let us tell you why this book would be a good buy. We will share with you the various ways to "think outside of the box" to make money. If we tried to explain each and every avenue at this very moment, then it would take many hours of typing. If you want a shortcut instead of waiting for us to write each week, then look at this e-book.
Jason and Kelly Odom wrote a book:

Vanabode™ - how to happily camp, travel and live forever on $20 a day

This book has so much information. It helped us set up a plan to truly live and travel on minimum wage.

But if you want to pass on the book, then here is our first way to make a little extra income. Surveys.

Yes, you can sign up and perform surveys through your email. Some will pay you a few dollars per survey. Some offer gift cards, free hotel stays, entries into sweepstakes and more. We have earned money doing these surveys, a couple of restaurant and store gift cards, and some free hotel stays. If you follow our other blog, the hotel in Atlantic City was free with the coupons that we earned through completing surveys. Nice!

Here are the ones that we use:

Again, you will not get rich doing surveys. The trick to this lifestyle is to have primary work that you occasionally perform as you travel. Then put together many smaller projects that can generate a small amount of cash. When you have built up a nice portfolio of these "smaller" ways to make cash, then they really start to add up! How many do we have? Well, at this moment we have over twenty projects that all produce a small amount of cash. But when we add them up....well, now you should get the picture. It may not be too long before those smaller projects become our primary source of income!
