I made six figures in six months WHILE travelling and without a full time job – here’s exactly how I did it
GETTING paid to travel is something most of us could only dream of.
But it’s a reality for 25-year-old Alexandra Hallman after she discovered she could make a mint selling pictures taken on her iPhone.
The globetrotter, who goes by the Sleepy Millionaire, can make up to £10,000 in one week flogging pictures.
She snaps photos of her surroundings (typically while travelling) and then sells the images to companies to use for marketing on social media, websites, ads and more.
The entrepreneur has made nearly £100,000 in the last six months alone.
“Sell companies your photos – you don’t even need to be in it,” she said.
“Sell that photo. It is so much money.
“Every single company needs photos.”
Alexandra has a template email and pricing guide that she sends out to “as many companies as she can” to garner business.
Before doing this, the nomad was trying to carve out a career in the film industry.
“I was barely scraping by, working three exhausting jobs to pay rent and afford groceries,” she told MailOnline.
“I love taking pictures and I noticed that any item or product or surfboard that I held over this beautiful bright blue ocean just looked gorgeous with the view behind it.
“A pair of sunglasses, or a coconut or even a banana – anything.
“I was like, ‘wow, these look like magazine covers, brands should be using this’.
“And brands need photos in order to sell anything.
“Especially hotels, you want to know where you’re staying.”
