How We Make Money While Traveling (And How YOU Can Too)

[@benl8413]

Thanks for telling us the actual numbers, you’re the first creators I follow that have actually been honest and told us what they are making from everything.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

We are glad that you appreciated it ❤️ we found it hard to talk about money - but thought it was important to be as transparent as possible for you guys!

[@rachelffong]

i appreciate how honest you are in this video, sending good vibes to you both in the new year!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much ❤️ we are happy you like the video! Sending you all of our love, Happy New Year 💞✨

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

Thank you both for being so transparent about your finances, especially as a travel KZbin channel. Information for this specific niche is SO RARE and this gives me a lot of hope as I start my new travel channel this year! I am so grateful for you guys taking the time to share this, because so many do not. Subscribed!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

It makes us very happy to know that this was helpful for you 🤍 thanks so much for watching! And welcome to the channel 🥰

[@thekajalflaneur]

Thats such insane amounts of money, especially brand deals! Well done! It must be not so much a profession, but a lifestyle. Lots of love to you both 💖

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Definitely takes up the majority of our lives - but we absolutely love every aspect of it. We’re super grateful for the amount of success we’ve found, and can’t wait to keep growing with you guys ❤️❤️ we love u too!!

[@LuizaSilva-di6nc]

I came across your channel literally last month and i’m already in LOVE. your videos are so entertaining and my dream is to travel the world with my partner some day. thank you for being so authentic and genuine with your audience. i’m already taking notes on where to go, where to eat etc and now i even know how to manage my money. you’re the best!!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Aww this comment really made our day 🥹❤️ thank you!! We appreciate your support!

[@mochiandco.]

I appreciate the transparency and the honesty so much!!! Loved the video!! I am and always be your supporter!!! 🤍🤍

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind words & support ❤️ we truly appreciate you!!

[@vickie7312]

Thanks for this, it’s fascinating. I’m a photographer and would love to combine that with travelling. I’m going to Costa Rica in February and can’t wait. Happy Days x

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Photography definitely has a ton of potential avenues for income!! Including shooting for resorts / activity providers, affiliate marketing through a travel blog & even getting involved in test shooting for models in the fashion industry! Hope you absolutely love Costa Rica, we LOVE it there!! 🤍🤍

[@tailoredtrippers]

We’ve travelled to a lot of different places but only recently started documenting the trips. Hoping for our channel growth this 2024 and thank you for the transparency on this video. ❤

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Excited for you & your creation journey! It’s an amazing and fulfilling time.. enjoy every moment of it ❤️❤️

[@mikaelarosethwaites5770]

You guys are so genuine! Love watching! 😊

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much 💞💞 we appreciate you!

[@scottsdaletravelchick]

Well done you guys! We started the same time as you guys, not professional models but avid travelers (every 2 weeks) love all of your helpful hints. We are excited to see what 2024 will do for us, from last year to this year our channel grew 126%. I'm going to use your tip on the travel payouts. Thanks again!!!!! Rhylan I miss seeing your mom at the gym in the mornings, tell her hello for me from Lara. Thanks again you guys, really love watcching your channel grow!!!!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Hiii ❤️ thank you so much for watching! Congratulations on the channel growth this year, we wish you much more success in 2024 😍 and aww haha I'll be sure to tell her you said hello!!

[@RandysWorld]

Everything you said is correct. I also did some modeling and currently a brand ambassador for companies. Tons and tons travel. Thanks for the tips!

[@MELVELADLAWAN]

The first video I’ve watched from you both✨And right at the bat I can tell how genuine hoomans you are wishing you both more powers🫶

[@jacqueen_infinity]

Thanks so much for sharing.. super helpful ❤

[@vampycatt]

great way to start of 2024 i always wondered how people did it thank you for thoroughly explaining you methods as well it was more helpful when i got confused happy new year🎉❤️

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

We figured this would be the perfect video to start off 2024 ❤️ hopefully it’s useful for you, and anyone else who has always wanted to know about this 🥰 Happy New Year!!

[@JohnRPike]

Super range of great ways to make money online. You guys can speak from experience, so you set a great example with credibility.

[@ShannonQT85]

Been fun watching your channel continue to grow and that you still are always being so authentic and real....and that you keep interacting with your subscribers as well. One question I have though is how complicated are paying taxes for you guys? I have a traditional job but I also have a small business that is just extra income for me and I have a CPA help me with it and even then it's a ton of bookkeeping to be on top of haha. So just makes me wonder how complicated taxes would be for you guys.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to us 🤍 and to answer your question.. taxes are a nightmare for us at the moment 😂 we have to show proof for all of the things we write off - and since we operate as an LLC, almost all of our travel expenses are tax write offs. So it’s a ton of book keeping (we aren’t very good at it, and taxes take FOREVER hahaha) definitely going to be one of our first hires when we can.

[@izabelarocha7077]

Are Ruan and Rhylan ok? Don't stop traveling and recording videos, going through a deep desert for 1 year and a half due to a divorce, watching you gave me hope again, something that I love doing and that I want to continue believing that I can travel. You have no idea how videos heal me, numb my pain and sadness and put a smile on my face, they remind me of reasons to dream again. And besides all that, I'm taking the opportunity to learn to speak English by watching the videos with English subtitles too! God bless you! And may you become more like Jesus Christ every day! A kiss! Isabella. Ruan e Rhylan tudo bem? Não parem de viajar e gravar os vídeos, passando por deserto profundo a 1 ano e meio devido a um divorcio assistir você me trouxe esperança de novo, algo que amo fazer e que quero continuar acreditando que poderei viajar. Vocês não tem noção do quando os vídeos me curam, entorpecem minha dor e tristeza e coloca um sorriso em meu rosto, me trazem a memória os motivos para voltar a sonhar. E além de tudo isso, estou aproveitando para aprender a falar inglês assistindo os vídeos com a legenda em Inglês também! Que Deus os abençoe! E que cada dia mais vocês se assemelhem a Jesus Cristo! Um beijo! Izabela.

[@pamgallego]

Thank you for sharing guys! Lots of all ❤️ Looking forward to the next destination.

[@pauladpimenta]

Happy new year!!! I love your videos so much and my dream it’s to post videos! Thank you so much, sending love from Brazil💖💖💖

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Happy New Year ❤️❤️ thank you for your kind words & support! We believe in you, and can’t wait for you to start posting videos of your own in 2024 🥰 this will be your year!!

[@hakusmovielists]

Thank you for the honest and detailed information and Happy New Years 💛 I hope, as a movie channel, I can start monetizing my channel as you do :)

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Of course 🤍 we hope it was useful!! And that’s such a fun niche! I’m sure the CPM’s aren’t too high, but you can definitely make some great money through affiliate marketing & potentially brand deals!

[@SINIESTRA]

This is so honest, thank you for the information ❤

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thanks guys What camera do you use and/ or recommend?

Up to this point we have used the Canon Powershot G7X mark iii 🥰 but we just recently upgraded to a Fujifilm Xh2s. Would definitely recommend both!!

Thank you guys, Your videos are great! Be safe !

Thanks so much for showing what's behind the curtain. We like your content a lot and admire your style. Love from Istanbul, Turkey!

[@Ann-MD]

You guys are so sweet. Thanks for your transparency. How did normally get brand deals? Do you use a company?

[@micazev]

guys, talk more about modeling! feliz ano novo 🇧🇷

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Any specific questions you have about it? Would be happy to consider this as a future video ❤️

[@micazev]

@@juanmarcelandrhylan you could approach as any video about freelancing: how to get into modeling, what you have to learn to get into the market, the avarage payment, how to grow in this kind of business...

[@SajadHussain]

Thanks for being honest and transparent ❤❤

[@meshaninisansala5224]

You are so genuine💫 Love both of you!💞

Good on you guys for being so open and transparent about the income sources. Do you think will continue traveling like this forever or move back to the US eventually?

[@kylakailuatravel]

I love that I found you guys about a month ago! I have a question: what camera do you use to blog with?

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

So happy that you found us 🥹💓 and up to this point we have used a canon Powershot g7x mark iii - but we recently upgraded to a more powerful 4k capable camera 👀 it’s the Fujifilm Xh2s. We haven’t filmed a video on it yet, but it is AMAZING!!

[@kylakailuatravel]

@@juanmarcelandrhylan thanks so much for the information 🙏🏾

[@franparker4103]

This is super helpful and a dream of mine one day. Just returned from 6 months travelling South America and for sure have the travel bug now! Can't wait to go away again and maybe one day make it a career. One question is do you have any advice for staying on top of posts? Do you guys follow a schedule? I really find it difficult posting and I am about 4 months behind on posts haha. Thanks again! :)

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Ooh that’s amazing!! Once you get that Travel Bug, there’s no going back 😩 hahaha. As for your question, consistency is definitely super important - especially in the beginning of your content creation career. Even when no one was watching, we held ourselves accountable to once per week on KZbin & three times per week on IG & TikTok. This is mostly just for YOU to get into the flow and really get comfortable with the whole process. As well as earning those first subscribers & supporters.

[@franparker4103]

Thanks so much for responding! Super helpful ☺️

[@SavingtoInvest]

Nice video and appreciate the transparency. Some other revenue sources or cost offsets to consider 1. Paid sponsorships at hotels/resorts. You get a fully paid holiday and they can leverage your authenticity for reviews. 2. 1-1 consultation for places you have been. Easily 150+ p/hr and can eventually become your digital content. 3. Incorporate as a business and all your travel, expenses and equipment is tax deductible (which you may already be doing). Keep traveling and vlogging in 2024!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Hey! These are all fantastic, we've definitely done #'s 1 & 3. But, #2 is a new idea that we haven't even considered. Thank you so much for bringing it to our attention! Hopefully other people reading the comments can get inspired by your comment as well 😍

[@willis1777]

Tnz for sharing guys this actually helps alot hope i start mine soon tnx

[@hxial7iso287]

Thank you for your help Juan & rhyaln thank you this will help me move forward have a lovely day 😁

[@TravelSprings]

So all those KZbin guru's promising $10,000 a month on KZbin, are just talking BS?

[@diegocaleiro]

how much money do you spend per month overall? including plane tickets, health whatever, hotels, food, all of it, what's your total monthly expenditure as travel vloggers?

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Great question! It varies wildly depending on the destination that we are traveling to for the month. But we’d say we spend anywhere from 4-8k a month on average between Airbnb’s, food cost, activities, business expenses & flights. With some months being significantly above or below that range.

[@rodart1945]

Do you not need to have a substantial amount of followers to make money with affiliate marketing??? Thank you so much for sharing this content and being transparent. How long did you take to get to this stage?

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

With Travelpayouts (the brand we spoke about in the video) you can get started right away - with no requirements in terms of audience size. All that matters is that you have some sort of blog or travel content to promote the affiliate links on. The amount of money you make is dependent on how many sales you convert with your links. So for that reason, a bigger audience will usually = more money from affiliate marketing. But some people make more with a smaller audience, because they have a highly engaged community, and are in a hyper specific niche. Either way, our biggest tip is to always be authentic & never promote anything that you wouldn’t personally vouch for!
