While it is not easy to make money especially in the time of current recession, stepping out and looking around will pop up many opportunities which one can use for an extra income.

 

Internet touches our lives almost everywhere and most of us are familiar with it there are many such opportunities available online to get to started. Writing blogs and using them to generate income is very popular but not everyone can be sure of returns from that direction.

 

One interesting option is available at a site www.traveldaddy.com. This is a social networking site for travelers and can help you find travel buddies across the world. All those who are fond of traveling and would like to share experiences with other like minded people can write reviews, travel tips and blogs here and earn points. These points can alter be redeemed for specific gifts, this is not all. If you write reviews which are liked by members, they come back for you and you continue collecting points.

 

After having collected good number of points you can contact the travel agencies who are already registered on the site promoting their own tours to make you their travel expert of a particular region/ country/continent. They will benefit because being their expert your points will add on to their own and their ad/ listing will be higher in the site. As already mentioned the listing depends on the number of points the travel company has, more points means higher listing and vise versa. 

 

Your  points give you the power to bargain with these companies to make you their travel agent which will benefit them and in return you write about their tours, destinations etc. Since you are popular with the members they will come back to read your views and thus giving more publicity to the respective travel company.

 

Now what does the expert get in return? The expert can get these companies to pay him in return for the services. It is a great way to make money online while all you do is write about destinations being promoted by the tour company you are associated with.

 

Moreover you can be associated with more than one company maybe become and expert with them for a different region/ country. It will depend on how well you sell your self. This will obviously mean more money.

 

This is a very innovative and yet very simple way to make money online for all those interested in travel.
