The Right Way to Travel
**********************

*** THE TRAVEL WRITER'S AND PHOTOGRAPHER'S PLEDGE ***
(Raise your right hand and read aloud)

I pledge to read the next four free reports from upcoming issues of The Right Way to Travel.  If they don't come into my in-box, I will look for them online in the archives. 

I pledge to pick at least one way that I will get paid travel and take my first step forward within seven days.

In the name of a more free, exciting, and enjoyable life, I will devote a portion of my time to getting paid for my stories or photos -- whether they focus on someplace I've traveled or on my home town. 

I recognize that the travel writer's or photographer's life that I dream of will not come about on its own, but that I have to take steps towards getting it.  By combining the advice in this eletter with my passion -- and some of my time -- I will be closer to my goal.

I pledge that I will aim for my ultimate dream lifestyle and I won't give up until I get there, because I know that the most successful writers and photographers succeeded through passion and persistence.

And, finally, I pledge to have fun and experiment, learning how to better do what I love to do -- get paid for my stories and/or photos.

(You can put your hand down, now.)

Congratulations!  You're on your way.  Watch this eletter next week for four ways to get paid to travel and all the how-to you need to get you there.

P.S. Don't forget, too, that the best way to learn how to get paid to travel is to attend one of our live workshops like the one coming up in Ecuador with Victor Englebert (our amazingly pedigreed -- and personable -- photographer/guide).  There you'll learn how to take better pictures, write articles to go with those pictures, and even learn Spanish, too. 

It's guaranteed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience you'll never forget.  I hope to see you there: http://www.thephotographerslife.com/ecuador .
