How to earn money while traveling the world

Billed as a combination of TikTok and Expedia, the social travel app Otsy (an acronym for “Organize Trips, Share Yours”) allows users to book trips directly from social media content—and creators to earn a commission on bookings made through the trips they share. Want to tour that Napa winery you just saw in a post or catch a gorgeous Hawaiian sunset? Each video includes real-time pricing, allowing for a seamless leap from aspiration to transportation. And on the other side of the transaction, the person who shot and shared the content that inspired your journey earns a cut of the trip you just booked.
