Earn Money While Traveling with YouPlanet
I bet most of you are aware of travel sites such as Wayn and Tripadvisor. YouPlanet, one of the fastest growing travel communities in the world, takes this concept one step further with their special ambassador program enabling travelers to finance their trip. The Swedish entrepreneurs and YouPlanet founders Petter Hedestedt and Johan Lilja opened a beta version of their site www.YouPlanet.com today.
The travel community is aimed for active people between 18-30 years of age. On the site, registered users can participate in forums, join groups, upload photos, read travel destination guides, plan their trip, read travel blogs and stay in touch with friends. YouPlanet gives backpackers and other travelers everything they need before, during and after their travels.
And with the unique ambassador program people can finance their travels while giving local hotels, hostels, restaurants and clubs an opportunity to promote their business in an easy and inexpensive way. The idea is comparable to a MySpace service for companies.
Johan Lilja, co-Founder of YouPlanet, commented: “This launch is not just yet another community at the market. YouPlanet will offer travelers the unique opportunity to maximize their travel experience and as ambassadors earn money while traveling. Several partnerships and improvements of the site will be announced going forward but to meet the market demand and involve our users in the final phase of development we are now going public.”
YouPlanet’s ambassador program truly sounds like a great way for people to boost their travel budget and at the same time gain valuable sales experience.

I came upon YouPlanet after doing a research on google about ways to make money while traveling from a website.It looks great as an idea about becoming an ambassador and sell memberships to small businesses that are related to tourism and it is an advantage for those who are living on a such a tourist place like Rhodes.My only concern with this idea is the unpopularity of this website and that is obvious when someone enter the key word such as travel community or travel guide and sees that websites like tripadvisor,booking.com,lonelyplanet and many others are ranked on top on the google and many businesses that are related to tourism would like to advertise with them because are very famous.So how could small hotel,bar and restaurant owners be convinced to buy membership from YouPlanet as it it not well ranked on google?I guess it’s all about marketing and tricks that the ambassadors follow to find ways to convince small business owners related to tourism to become partners with an annual membership.
@Stefanos: I’m glad to hear that you like the concept of YouPlanet! It is a unique idea indeed, and we have seen that Greek businesses (among other nationalities) within the hospitality industry need some help and support to get introduced to travel web 2.0. As an Ambassador you are the key link to this, and you get rewarded for every Partner (business) that you enlist. Especially in the current difficult economic situation, hospitality businesses need to find cost efficient smart tools for their online marketing.
Ranking well in search engines is an important part of the Partner program and we’re constantly improving our presence. YouPlanet is simply still quite a new site and it takes time to show the top results. However, we’re getting there and besides that our Partners also enjoy great benefits such as:
A complete professional venue page in the travel guide with all contact details visible.
An own website with an own web address with a real-time interface enabling you to write news, upload photos and much more.
Online reputation management; a communication platform for the Partner and its customers.
