Make money writing about your holiday

Have you just enjoyed your annual holiday? Or maybe you are still planning it. Either way have you considered making extra income from your experiences? 

There are a multitude of opportunities available to you including a personal experience piece, letters to magazines, short fillers and full length articles. There are even opportunities to get paid to write reviews about hotels you have stayed in.

You could write a traditional travel piece however you will increase your chance of publication and payment if you look for a less obvious angle that will appeal to the readers of your chosen publications.

Here are some suggestions:

• Tips for travelling abroad with a disabled child – finding hotels, public transport, medical facilities
• Pack light for less stress and costs – whether driving, flying or using public transport packing the absolute minimum can make travelling easier and cheaper
• Eat well for less – tips for saving money when eating out whilst on holiday
• The hidden attractions at your holiday location – shops, restaurants, museums, buildings, parks, beaches
• Interesting people who live or have lived where you are holidaying
• Keeping children amused on long journeys
• Tips for travelling alone
• What to take on a walking holiday
• Wildlife in the area
• Taking pets on holiday
• Cooking whilst camping.

As you can see there are a multitude of topics relating to your holiday so take a break, have fun, and come home with a host of ideas to earn you some extra income.

Happy writing.
