10. Travel blogger
Pay scale: from zero to hero (according to travel bloggers from Goats on the Road);
Optimal earnings from an established and respected travel blog: around $60,000;
Although you don’t need work experience for starting a travel blog, your earnings in the first phases of your blog’s development might be incredibly low. After one year of writing most people earn enough money to pay for their website hosting fees, but if you are willing to stick to this occupation, travel extensively and work on improving your writing style, you can earn millions of dollars. We have taken Goats on the Road blog as an example of the well-established and respected travel blog. Last year their earnings increased to $10,000 per month. Their overall income is split in two because the blog employs two writers and it is mainly generated from native advertising, pay-per-click ads and freelance travel writing. This sum can easily finance long trips, especially if you take into consideration that most exotic destinations in the developing world are much less expensive than Western cities.
