I've been filming holidays for 3 years and I absolutely love it, it's always different and exciting, you meet great people and it's very creative work. After people kept asking me how to do my job I decided to share my secrets with people who are also passionate about travel.

If you have a camcorder and a computer then you can get paid for creating promotional holiday videos or at least get free holidays depending on your skills.

I've financed all of my trips in Europe, Africa and Australia this way and got to go on safaris, trekking tours, adventure holidays, camping trips, stayed in hotels and resorts and all while being paid to film and edit. You can view my videos on www.authenticholidayfilms.com

Now I want to share with you the secrets of getting paid to travel in my manual: How To Get Paid Filming Holidays. I will also give you the contacts to hundreds of specialist operators who are eager to use video and will endeavor to send you work after you have created a couple of tourism videos and you can do both the editing and filming or send the footage for editing.

I am a travel videographer and travel writer from Germany, and have published two books about strange and incredible occurrences in South America: Return to La Paz and Generation 911.

I also studied Tourism Management in the Uk and Australia and have travelled for the past 10 years. I got tired of roughing it though and now get paid to go on tours and stay in nice resorts and hotels.

I began as an amateur videographer, using a camcorder, a tripod, a mic and Final Cut Pro to edit. My first videos certainly look a little amateurish, but my contractors were happy and I was willing to improve and learn. So I gradually received bigger contracts, more money and worked for larger companies. In that sense I began like most other people shooting videos and uploading them on youtube or sharing them with family and friends, except I now get paid for it.

I do have a background in tourism, so I know about tourism marketing, but the basics are quickly understood and the emphasis is on shooting good footage and creative editing to sell the holidays you were contracted to film. So you can do it and I can help you on your way.
