A full-time income with a part-time plan…
Here’s how to earn $90,000 a year
while you travel the world on
permanent vacation
Hi, my name is Tom Reissmann, and I currently live in Panama.
I am going to tell you today about the very enjoyable way I finance my travels and my life overseas.
I work part-time – with three months off every summer – and I currently earn between $80,000 and $90,000 a year with this method.
This is me at work…
I use the record button on my camera to create short simple videos, as I travel the world, often on someone else’s dime.
Can you create short, simple 2-minute videos on your smartphone or camera?
I know you can because it’s as simple as pressing record and your Smartphone will actually create videos for you.
$90,000 a year working part-time!
I had never heard of this opportunity until a few years ago when I met videographer Tom Reissmann.
When he showed me what he was doing with quick 30-second to 4-minute videos, I was shocked at just how much money he’s making doing this.
He started at $30,000 - $40,000 working part-time.
In the beginning, it was mostly a way for him to take paid-for trips to places like Egypt. But over the years he’s grown his video income to $70,000…$80,000 and now $90,000 a year. And he’s still working part-time.
He takes three months off a year to rest and relax wherever he wants – Australia… the Canary Islands… Europe.
And he lives anywhere he wants to, too.
He’ll also tell you that he enjoys life even while he’s working because he’s basically paid to do things other travelers pay a fortune to experience.
He’s been to Africa and Australia… all over Europe, and New Zealand. He was recently in Canada recording short videos of winter sports and Canada’s amazing National Parks.
Most of his videos are in the three to five minute range, but some are as short as 30 seconds.
And it’s actually pretty easy.
Here’s what you already have…
People think “video” and they think production crews and models. They think fancy equipment and lights.
But all you actually need to do this is your phone or the video function on the camera you take with you on vacation.
If you can click the shutter and take a still photograph, you can click the video button and create a video -- it really is that simple.
Once you get the hang of it, you can use these videos to barter your way around the world and work your way up to bigger paychecks like Tom.
And lots of other travelers are doing this, too. I know because Tom created a course on how to do this and I published it.
My name is Lori Allen and I’m the Director of Great Escape Publishing.
For the last 15 years I’ve been profiling opportunities like this one for people who want to travel and see more of the world. And this opportunity is one of my favorites.
I write and research all kinds of fun ways to explore the world, but this one takes the cake because of its ease of entry and the minimal amount of equipment you need to get started.
You can literally decide to start today, practice at home with short clips of the trees rustling in the wind, wind chimes swinging on your porch, or the rooms in your own house, and be ready for your first project by the end of the month.
Test the waters on a restaurant or a bed and breakfast near you and you’ll be hooked. That’s how fun it is. And I bet you’ll never go back to traveling any other way. Certainly not after you get a taste for how much you can make from these videos -- even as a beginner.
The most fun you’ll have while earning a living…
And what a fun way to earn a living! A few years back, when I met Tom he told me he was living on permanent vacation.
That’s what he called it because he enjoys it so much.
He makes these clips and then strings them together into $2,000 and $4,000 videos. His best clients pay him $8,000 or more.
And even today, after working with him for four or more years now, he says the market is wide open.
Your get paid to travel plan
More experienced folks take on the highest paying clients. And folks like you who are just starting have all the smaller tour companies, hotels and mom and pop shops to cut their teeth on.
A lot of hotels and businesses can’t afford the big guys. And you need some experience so it’s the perfect match.
It’s how you can get from the Mexican Riviera to the Panama Canal. The Dead Sea to The Indian Ocean. Wherever you want to go, this can get you there.
And destinations are often happy to foot the bill in exchange for your videos. After you get a few of those “bartering” videos under your belt, you can start charging for them, too.
Hotels around the world want videos of their rooms, pool, and restaurant for their websites.
Tourism boards want videos of their attractions.
Online magazines want videos to go with their travel articles.
There is a huge demand from destinations all over the world and this opportunity is as hot as ever.
And let’s face it, this opportunity to video your way around the world isn’t really about creating travel videos you can sell. It’s more about the intangible benefits like:
-
The ability to travel when and where you choose.
-
An excuse to travel – finally you have a reason to get out more.
-
When you make money with it, there’s the potential to turn your travel expenses into tax write-offs (with the help of an accountant, of course).
-
And when you’re on the ground, you have a purpose. You’re not just there to see a few sights, you have an assignment and things to do. All fun things your friends will be jealous to hear about.
You basically need three things:
-
A mind shift. Maybe you never thought taking videos could be fun. But when I show you how much you can make and where you can go with it, you have to admit that it’s worth a try…
-
A few new toys. You’ll need to purchase some new equipment online. I’ll tell you what to buy (Tom says it’s all under $100), but you need to go to Amazon and get the right gear… it’s very important.
-
A quick-start plan. Once you’re familiar with your new gear and creating short clips, the next step is getting them into the hands of the people who buy them. Tom has all this figured out so you can just do what he does.
Folks who have tried this Tom’s wayabsolutely love it
Here’s what they’ve told me...
Global nomad Elizabeth Coughlan wrote in to say:
"When I retired after 40 years of teaching in international schools around the world, I knew I would have to find something else to allow me to continue traveling. By chance, I happened on the Great Escape website that mentioned photography as a way to travel the world. I thought I would look into it, never realizing it would change my life forever!
My main focus these past few years has been photography, but then at Lori’s suggestion, I tried creating videos, too.
And now, thanks to Tom’s sales plans and how-to guides I now have videos selling with stock agencies, and recently I was hired as a videographer for a tour group going to the Hidrellez Romany Spring Festival, in Edirne Turkey.
What's not to love about my life? I am traveling the world as a global nomad, and at 73 years of age, I would say that is not bad at all!"
Sophie Parmantier told me she now makes anywhere from $300 to $1,000 on each of her travel videos.
She says “I take half a day to shoot the entire hotel, piece by piece, and make each video dedicated to a specific part of the hotel – the rooms, the spa, the pool, the tennis courts, etc. These little clips are easier to sell because they’re cheaper. They’re also a great way to approach clients who might want a full video once they’ve seen what I can do with these little bite-sized chunks. I can make a quick $300 with just a few hours of work and hopefully convince them to buy a bigger video which is nothing more than these small ones stitched together for something more like $1,000.“
And Melanie Wood wrote to me and said she put Tom’s advice to good use, tapping into this market to fund her travel with videos.
“For my last adventure, a trip to Peru, I was comped about $3,000 toward my trip because I photographed and took videos of our group doing ceremonies and visiting sacred sites in gorgeous landscapes. The outfitter featured these on her website.
Videography appeals to me because it shows a more intimate relationship between people and place than a still photograph. It is also surprisingly easy to do with a camera or iPhone. I’m doing a lot of videography now when I travel!”
Adding your personal adventure and profit story to this group isn’t difficult.
After all, the videos you’re creating aren’t fancy, over-the-top productions. And everybody wants them.
And if you’re willing to shoot short 30-second to four-minute video clips from your travels, the travel market is BIG!
Studies have shown it’s in a hotel’s best interest to add videos to their website.
And the #1 thing guests want a video of?
The rooms! 57% of visitors want to see a video of the rooms first.
Do you think you could hold your camera and circle it around a hotel room?
Maybe get a moving shot of walking into the room… a quick peek into the bathroom, circle around the sleeping area and show off the view?
The kind of videos I’m talking about here are very simple to shoot on your own. You just need a little advice and some simple tricks and techniques to make them look professional.
Tom has just returned from shooting video in Canada.
He had a great adventure taking a boat down the cool Canada waters and getting up close and personal with the bears.
And when he got back, he sold one of the short videos he took there for a handy $800.
Can you do this?
Of course you can. And, if you choose to learn from Tom, he’ll tell you exactly what equipment to buy, where you can find great music for your videos, and how you can get into your video, too.
The extra equipment’s not expensive – maybe $70 to $100 – and you can layer in the music with a click of a button.
So who will buy it?
Well, it’s not just hotels and attractions who want videos.
Start local.
Tour companies, non-profits, manufacturing plants, and real estate agents want video, too.
And actually, the real estate market is huge in and of itself.
Real estate listings that include a video receive 403% more inquiries than those without.
It’s such a good market that one of the experts we feature regularly charges anywhere from $200 to $5,000 for his real estate videos.
He, too, is only working part-time and making a full-time income.
And remember, local businesses want videos for their Facebook and social media pages, too.
Companies all over the world are happy to pay for these – and it’s not that hard to create them and travel your way around the world.
Every business on the planet should know…
-
A website is 53 TIMES more likely to get to page 1 of a Google search if it has video in addition to plain text.
-
YouTube is the second most popular search engine in the world.
-
52% of people feel more secure about making a purchase when they can view a video first, and 90% of people say that seeing a video about a product is helpful in their decision process.
So even at the basic $100 a minute rate, businesses know they get a great return by hiring you… and it’s very simple to break into this market, even as a beginner.
Armed with a little insider know-how, you can be the one to provide hotels, resorts, and businesses, with what they need.
For them, a short video is a clever investment. For you – it’s a great way to earn a fun income and see the world.
Dede Fulk wrote to tell me:
“Before I finished Tom’s Travel Videos for Profit program, I had my first place in mind where the ocean waves lapped up on the beaches of a beautiful resort. I began my adventure with a vacation rental owner marketing his property at an upscale resort in Mexico.
I used the exact words and benefits featured in the program to sell video services. “Have you ever thought of using video to promote your vacation destination?” Then I followed with all the stats that emphasize why video works.
You know what? He jumped on the opportunity in a heartbeat in exchange for a complimentary stay.
Tom didn’t leave anything out.
Next stop, Bella Sirena and the beautiful Sea of Cortez.
My husband Jeff and I rehearsed what we would do the minute we arrived. We went up to the room, followed the checklist, focused on close shots, medium shots and panning in different directions… and grabbed lots of footage before we brought everything inside.
Then we ran outside to check out the property and dip our toes in the water. We saw how the shadows and reflections affected the palm trees, infinity pool and fountains at the entrance.
We went into town and captured videos of Old Port, landmarks, beaches where the locals swim, and people in authentic Mexican restaurants eating gargantuan fresh clams.
You want to capture as much footage as soon as possible - more than necessary, as Tom said.
Not only did I create a short clip for the condo owner to place on VRBO and YouTube, but I have footage for a travel magazine and plan to approach the Mexican Tourism Board to sell a short clip promoting Puerto Peñasco.”
Tom makes all of this easy. His training program shows you how this opportunity works.
As the years have gone on it’s actually gotten easier and easier to sell these videos because so many companies know how valuable they are.
It’s great news for you because it means there’s less to learn and more clients willing to pay for you to visit their establishment and create a short video.
It means you can land your first assignment in no time. And it means there are very few start-up costs.
If you think this opportunity is for you, I’ve created a special page below that includes a breakdown of what you need -- including Tom’s Travel Videos for Profit program. He makes it so easy, you can start as early as tomorrow.
There aren’t many other income opportunities out there that are quite this fun with little to no set up costs or time.
Unlike other programs, you don’t have to invest a lot or wait a long time to see results. It’s pretty quick and easy and you can start right there at home.
It’s one of my favorite get-paid-to-travel opportunities and I can’t speak highly enough about Tom.
He’s not doing anything crazy or fancy. And in fact, if there’s a skill you need most, it’s the patience to sit in a café in Italy and film little video clips from your table. It’s to take a cruise down the Seine and film the view. It’s to sit on a mountaintop and wait for a hiker to break through the clouds.
