Wouldn’t it be great to be able to travel around the world and get paid while you do it? With a little creativity and a lot of courage, those who intelligently plan their world travels can make a serious income while living it up in exotic, worldwide locations. Let’s get into the ‘meat’ of how this can be done. There are 3 types of travelers. Which one are you?1) Savers – You get a job, or jobs, in one location, save and save, and when you have enough money and nothing tying you down, you go travel. If you’re reading this article you probably already know you don’t want to have this type of job. So, world travel job type number two is…2) Traveling job seekers. These are people who seek to land jobs that pay them while they travel. Included are tour and adventure guide jobs, film and writing jobs, flight attendant and airline jobs, medical jobs, military work, and so on. You can get one of these jobs following a very simple formula: Apply for a bunch of positions. Send recommendations. Make follow-up calls. Send thank-you cards. Sooner or later, someone is going to ‘bite’ and give you a position. 3) Systems travelers. These people are referred to as the ‘new rich.’ They set up systems using simple (but new) technology to constantly deliver value to other people, for which they get paid over and over again. If that was jibberish to you, don’t worry about it. Let’s go a little more into depth about what, exactly, this type of person does. Here’s an example of a ‘systems traveler’ at work: Katie likes training dogs, so she makes some YouTube videos and writes a few 1 page articles about some of the stuff she knows. Her ‘job’ is to help other dog owners train their dogs. When she puts these resources on the internet for others to benefit from, the people who are serious will click on the links in her articles and videos to get more information. When they do, Katie sends them to a product she has found online that pays her every time someone buys a product. In this case, she makes $66.46 per sale (the actual amount I make for selling a dog training product). One in twenty people buys the product, so if Katie sends 40 people per day to the product, she makes $132.92 per day. Getting the idea? Here’s a hint: 40 people a day in terms of traffic is NOTHING. And once the systems are setup properly, your travel job consists of tons of traveling and not a lot of job. Jobs that travel the world are a dime a dozen. The ideal situation is to become a systems traveler with a job that travels the world. In other words, your online system covers all your expenses and more, while your ‘job’ is for fun and anything they pay you is just gravy.

Travel Jobs & How to Make Money While You Travel
Category Uncategorized
Ever had the desire to quit your lame 9 to 5 job, tell your boss to shove it, pack up and start traveling the world?
All of us have had that desire at one point! The thing that stopped you was probably the same thing that stops most people: money.
“How will I pay for my flights, food, lodging, transportation, yada, yada, yada,” you asked yourself.
Don’t let these concerns bother you too much, because there is an underground, growing group of travelers who are utilizing some simple but hidden techniques to make significant incomes while traveling.
Here’s an overview of how we make money traveling and by landing travel jobs:Underground Travel Income Method #1 – Traditional Travel Job – Hold a job that either a) pays for us to travel or b) is located in the place we wish to travel to. This is the lowest paying and most complicated method of all, but is the most commonplace.
Common jobs that pay for travels are for professional speakers, salespeople, package couriers, flight attendants, travel nurses/doctors, conservationists, cruise ship workers, etc.
Travel jobs located in the places we wish to go to can be any of the above, but also are specific to the location we travel to. There are some FUN jobs overseas that are looking for foreign workers!
Underground Travel Income Method #2 – Travel Writing – Travel writing jobs for magazines are more common than you may imagine. However, there are LOADS of other ways to write as you travel and make money, including blogging, picking up projects from sites like Elance and Guru, and writing travel guides, both online and offline.
Underground Travel Income Method #3 – Selling Affiliate Products – Using a simple website, you can drive online traffic to a product that will be of interest to your online followers. Don’t be intimidated by this! It can be as easy as using your very own Facebook or Myspace profile. Affiliate products typically pay 50% to 75%, so you can make a very healthy income for selling just a few objects. Underground Travel Income Method #4 – Filming Your Adventures – If you’ve got the camera out and you’re taking pictures, why not switch it to ‘film’ mode and make money from it? You simply make a video of your destinations using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, then use your videos to create a customer base!Underground Travel Income Method #5 – Podcasting – If filming scares you off or intimidates you, you can make an iTunes podcast. It is easier than ever to get listed in iTunes and there’s a HUGE audience of podcast listeners. Simply talk about the places you visit two or three times a week and watch how your following grows… and how your bank account grows!Underground Travel Income Method # 6 – Ebay – The common misconception about Ebay is that you have to sell a physical product to make money. Here’s the trick: You can set up a fulfillment house to ship your product (or hire your little sister or the neighborhood kid). All you have to do is create your Ebay post from an internet café and collect the money!
Take any one of these six ‘travel job’ methods, and there are hundreds of travelers all over the world making more money than they would at a regular ‘job…’ and they’re living it up at exotic, world-class destinations. Take your pick, and take action on the ideas here!

Getting Legal Support Jobs Online
Category Legal
Most legal firms are very particular about the quality of legal support staff they engage – people like the paralegals who complement the works of the lawyers, receptionists who welcome the clients and secretaries who type the various legal documents as they become necessary. The law firms realize that the quality and success of their practice might ultimately depend on the people they engage in these capacities – than on anything else. And based on this understanding, many legal firm administrators are willing to go to almost any lengths to ensure that they get the right people for these jobs. It is therefore not surprising that the lawyers and other legal firm administrators are always on the lookout for any forum through which they can gain access to the very best staff for their operations – and the latest such forum is the Internet.
As it turns out, more and more legal firms are posting their legal support jobs online – and the Internet is indeed the place to find a job if you are, for instance, a legal secretary, a paralegal professional or a legal receptionist.
Most legal firms post their vacancies on the public online job forums – because with the exception of the very top legal firms, most are relatively smaller operations and their websites don’t get that many visitors. In any case, the nature of the legal business is that it can only deal with so many clients at a time- and therefore it might not even be desirable for them to want to attract the masses.
Take note however, that many online job forums may not have specific sections for jobs in legal support. Instead the jobs could be found in various other sections – like for instance, under the section for receptionist jobs. Even if a particular online job notice has a specific section for such jobs in legal support, there is still a chance that a law firm (in a bid to reach the widest possible audience) could post its vacancy for a receptionist under the section on receptionist jobs – rather than on the section for jobs in legal support. In the case where the law firm is looking for a person proficient in a particular language, they could post in the section for ‘language jobs.’ Thus if for instance an international law firm with clients in France is looking for a legal secretary who is proficient in French, they might post the job in the section for language jobs on the online job notice board– rather than on the sections for jobs in legal support or secretarial jobs you would otherwise expect such a job to be posted. The moral here is that it pays to widen your search.
Needless to say, you need to ensure that you are dealing with a credible online job notice board, as a few could be hoaxes. In most other professions, people are advised to look at the websites of the firms they want to work with for vacancies but as noted earlier, the online job forums might be the best places to check for jobs in legal support. It is worth noting, however, that the more prominent law firms do indeed tend to have a ‘careers’ section on their websites, and this is also one of the places you can check for the jobs in legal support. But then again, competition for jobs in legal support in these prominent legal firms tends to be rather stiff and their standards and expectations can be what many people consider a bit too high for them – though on the other side, their salaries and benefits tend to be commensurate.
