Laptop Travel Lifestyle

This has become my 'tool of the trade' for 2007. I purchased the computer November 2006.

Mac and I got off to a very rocky start. Within three weeks the computer broke down with a defective hard drive. I was puzzled that the computer had a scratch on it when I purchased it and was given $30.00 off for the blemish. When I took the computer in on warranty I discovered that this was the second time the hard drive had failed on that machine. I had purchased a 'repack' that had been returned on warranty prior to my purchase. I was upset for not having been told I'd purchased a used computer and to make good the store gave me a new one off the shelf as a replacement.

Six weeks later the new computer died. I took it back in. This time they sent it across Canada for warranty repairs. It was gone for nearly eight weeks. When it finally returned I discovered the hard drive had failed and the logic board had suffered a meltdown.

Three hard drives and one logic board failure behind me; what do I think of the new Core 2 MacBook? It's great! It's a relatively quick performer, faster than my previous Acer Ferrari gaming/graphics machine. I switched to Mac because of the new Intel processor and Parallels. Parallels Desktop enables me to run Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux as well as Mac OSX Tiger... all at the same time, if I like, but that's slow. It needed a RAM upgrade from 1GB to 2GB to make the MacBook perform well enough for the demands of two operating systems at once.

Two of my streams of income are web design and blogging. I like having all major platforms readily available for testing my websites and those of clients. Plus I'm able to use all my old Windows XP software. Way to go Apple, making the move to Intel!!!

I carry an external firewire drive along, for backups, but the 120GB internal drive's increased storage is welcome. I also went with .Mac for a year. I backup all of my data to the external hard drive automatically every night with .Mac's Backup.

Here's the bible to blogging for success. I printed it out, three hole punched it and didn't put it down until I'd read all fifty-nine pages. The ebook covers everything from the can-do winning attitude that's required to make it in blogging, to choosing a topic you're passionate about, monetizing your blog... everything you need to duplicate John's rise from zero to over $10,000/month in blogging.

Anyone who travels regularly is aware of luggage and carry-on restrictions post 9-11. However, if you travel abroad, there are other considerations to keep in mind. No foreign country wants undesirable insects, rodents, or diseases to infiltrate their population via border crossings.

Before reading further, remember that if you have outstanding police warrants or a criminal record, you should probably forget about foreign travel. Period.

* What NOT to Take With You *

Regulations vary by country. The snacks you pack for a domestic flight may not pass customs inspection for an overseas destination. Start with a good dose of 'common sense' and you will quickly realize why most of the items on the following list are not permitted:

- Beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages that have been opened

- Pets without appropriate vaccination certificates

- Native wildlife

- Weapons - or toys and other items that look like weapons

- Big game bagged while on your safari or hunting trip

- Prescription drugs without an accompanying doctor's prescription

- Drugs, vitamins, or nutritional supplements with unreadable labels

- Illegal drugs or paraphernalia - *DEATH PENALTY* in some countries

- Potted houseplants, seeds, soil, pebbles, or sand

- Natural products like seashells, pieces of coral reef, whalebone

- Uncooked pork, poultry, beef, and other meat or animal products

- Unprocessed or uncooked vegetables, fruits, tubers, roots, etc.

- Hay, straw, oats, and similar items

- Any other natural products that may harbor diseases or pests

- Fireworks and incendiary devices

- Clothing and souvenirs manufactured with any of the above products

Some prohibited articles may be allowed with appropriate permits or certification. If you don't know for sure - don't pack them or bring them back home with you.

* What you MUST Take With You *

Imagine your chagrin should you go through customs on your return trip and discover that you must pay duty on your laptop computer, digital camera, and jewelry - even though you purchased them in your own country prior to your trip. Yes, it can - and does - happen. Protect yourself!

Pack copies of documents such as sales receipts, credit card statements, insurance policies, and appraisals for all valuable items to prove ownership and purchase date - especially for anything that looks like new.

No receipts or paperwork? Take a picture of each item next to a newspaper that plainly displays a readable date. Note the serial number(s) with each photo. Keep all photos and paperwork in a safe place along with your passport and other important documents. They will be invaluable when you fill in customs declarations - both leaving and returning.

* Do Your Homework *

Spend some time doing research on the internet before you travel. You should be able to find a government or embassy website that provides the regulations online. Do searches such as:

- customs regulations France

- customs regulations Spain

- customs regulations Brazil

- customs regulations USA

Advance investigation may save you considerable time, money, and effort as you pass through each border crossing.

Be aware! The resulting peace of mind will make your holiday much more enjoyable.

Taking your dog with you when you travel, whether you go by land, air or sea, can present real problems. I know - I do 100k miles a year, and most of them I get to take Beck with me. It's worth the extra hassle, no question. But what tips can I offer you?

Air travel with your dog

It takes most dogs a long time to get used to traveling by plane. It took Beck about 6 flights before he stopped getting stressed about it. The big thing is to make sure your dog knows that it's just a temporary thing - to a woofer, a flight can seem to last forever! Each airline has their own set of rules - you need to check these before the flight. No good turning up and finding you are denied access to the plane because you didn't bone up on the regs!

Number one tip is - get a vet to sign a health certificate for your dog certifying that he has no diseases. Also make sure the dog is up to scratch on his anti-flea programme, and bring documentary evidence with you if you can. No airline wants a flea infested plane! Check his dog tags. Make sure YOUR contact details are there and easy to read. If you do get separated, this ensures you'll be re-united fast. For the same reason, you carry a photo of your dog in your wallet.

Number 2 tip - no food for Fido for 6 hours before the flight, and no water for 2 hours before. We wouldn't want any nasty 'accidents' now, would we???!!! Also put a note on his crate saying what his eating and drinking needs are - if the flight gets delayed, the ground staff will have a duty to live up to these.

Number 3 tip - buy a crate big enough for your dog to stand up in. Only buy custom made crates from your pet shop. Buy one that is designed for the rigors of air transport. NEVER try to 'get by' with any old crate. Trust me - your dog will thank you for the gift! Also remember that the airline you are using may have specific requirements for cases that go in the hold. Check the livestock regs.

Car Travel with your Dog

Tip 1 - Just like air travel, make sure your dog has all his ID with him, and you carry a photo. Even in the car, keep him leashed. Dogs have been known to get excited and leap out the window. Bad things happen on the freeway!

Tip 2 - Always book your hotel or motel ahead of time. If they don't allow dogs, you will be turned away whether or not you have a booking. I learned this the hard way with Beck - sleeping in a car ain't fun!

Tip 3 - acclimatization. Get your dog used to trips - start out with short trips, and gradually extend them. Let him experience the aircon, and maybe even stick his head out the window (dogs love this - make sure he's on the leash first, and that there is no contra traffic!)

These tips have enabled Beck and I to enjoy many great trips together, and believe me, it's nice to have some company on those long empty miles! If you like Beck, please vote for him on the petmillions.com contest at Vote for Beck in the petmillions contest!

Terry Hanson is in sales, but doesn't like to be separated from his pooch Beck, who is entered in the http://www.petmillions.com/ pet contest.

I recently picked up the Booq Python XM System for my MacBook. Amazing! It's the sturdiest, most well thought out accessory I've ever used so far.

The bag has many pockets for all of the my MacBook's accessories as well as my iPod, digital camera and lenses, lunch, water bottle, spare jacket and just about anything else I can think of for a day's excursion. It's not bulky and even when it's stuffed with heavy items it carries with ease.

While you're abroad, or even if you're traveling in the country, keep in touch with global phone cards. Cell phones can stop working at any time, subjected to the rigors of travel. Roaming and long distance charges for cell phones can also be atrocious. I prefer the Pingo Global Phone Cards particularly when I'm in the U.S. I can order one in advance online and carry it in my wallet.

Always be prepared.

 

I came across this really neat portable USB hub from Tiger Direct the other day and have one on order. It will look really nice with the black MacBook, and for only ten bucks!

Are you one of the many web estate flippers, blog owners or web designer/developers who has shied away from affiliate marketing because of the labor vs risk factor? True, all of the risk in affiliate marketing is assumed by the blog/website owner. Affiliate marketing is often referred to as a Cost Per Action (CPA) model because the customer must take action and make a purchase before money is paid to the affiliate. Click through advertising is so easy. Just drop in a block of code for AdSense and a line of code for Kontera's in-text program and you've monetized your site.

So why bother with writing articles around the affiliate links to the seller's site? Because, done right, affiliate marketing can be by far the most lucrative stream of revenue for your blog or conventional website.

It's tempting to grab the code from Commission Junction, paste it into a post and consider yourself and affiliate marketer. Occasionally visitors will actually click through on an affiliate banner and you can generate a trickle of revenue that way. If you've tried this, and experienced little or no revenue, don't dispair.

Effective affiliate marketing is all about the presell. Long before your customer clicks a link and makes a purchase, you've been developing the level of trust required to make that happen. Your customer must see you (and your panel of writers, where applicable) as credible resources of valuable information. They've come to look upon you as an expert in your field, so when you make a recommendation in your article they believe that purchasing the product or service will benefit them just as the information in your articles has. A banner is naked in-your-face advertising, and most of us have become adept at filtering out advertising. Affiliate links are embedded into article copy, as your personal endorsements, and most prospective buyers don't even know they are clicking on an link that benefits you.

Target affiliate affiliate deals that match your niche. (Advertising gardening supplies on a travel site would not produce great results. I can't even imagine how you'd thread the anchor text into an article on planning a trip abroad. :-). It's worth studying up on affiliate marketing, whether you're adding value to a web site you plan to resell, or are building a revenue site for yourself.

Some time ago, I purchased James Martell's Affiliate Marketing Handbook and it changed my business and my life. If you're going to cash in on this very lucrative stream of internet income I suggest you visit his website.

Here's a clip on affiliate marketing I think you might enjoy:

 

I read recently in Wired Magazine that laptop (notebook) computers are the number one stolen piece of electric hardware. Most thefts can be prevented simply by locking the laptop to a fixed object like a radiator pipe in your hotel room, or a piece of furniture at the coffee shop when you go to the washroom. That's a particularly important one, by the way. Turns out many laptops are stolen by the very 'honest-looking' person who agreed to watch your computer at the coffee shop. So get a sturdy cable lock. It's cheap insurance.

What's your 'laptop travel lifestyle' dream? I'm developing the ability to live in Europe for an entire year at a time, working a few hours a day on my laptop, kicking back semi-retired. I think Paris would be nice for 3 months, Tuscany for 3 months.... maybe share the time with someone special (still looking; thanks for nothing Lavalife :-)...

I've read of other travel buffs who have managed to cut most of the ties and make portable residual incomes they maintain on a very part-time basis. This blog is a journal of the realization of my dreams and goals and the opportunity for me to share in the journeys of others in similar pursuits of freedom.

I'd love to read your comments.

Here are some books I've come across to help get good rankings on Google, Yahoo! and MSN. To make money with a website or blog, you need eyeballs. Blogging mogul, John Chow estimates each pair of eyeballs is worth a penny, providing the site is properly monetized and the content keeps them coming back. If you want $5,000/mo. you need $50,000 pairs of eyes (visitors) each month.

One of the questions I'm asked most often is, "how can you live on permanent vacation? Is it really possible to make money as you travel, without being cooped up in a hotel room, slaving over the laptop most of the time?" The answer is yes, you can live the laptop travel lifestyle by developing residual streams of income. And the good news is you don't have to wait years before you're ready to head out. Here are a few options that are open to you.

Network Marketing

One of the most lucrative streams of residual income you can develop is a network marketing business. Choose a company with international sponsoring options and you can develop a larger network wherever you travel or live. In fact, you can write off your travels, putting network marketing at the top of the laptop travel lifestyle residual income list.

Robert Kiyosaki in his Rich Dad books, and Robert Allan in Multiple Streams of Income, both promote the addition of network marketing as one of your streams of income.

A network marketing income can provide true walk-away income. This is a stream of income I'm currently researching. Know any good programs I should consider, with a good compensation plan, in the health and wellness industry, with a proven internet-based lead generation system? Be sure to post a comment.

Affiliate Marketing

This is the residual income vehicle I'm most familiar with. I love writing and a few hours a day spent writing for one of my websites today can build a stream of income that will continue to come in even when I'm traveling and taking time off. While part of my income comes from blogging, a well built affiliate site differs in that daily (or at least very frequent) posts aren't required to maintain traffic. Google, Yahoo Search and MSN Search provide the traffic. I could be kicking back at GTA Hotels for a week, check my PayPal account and discover I've earned another $2,000.00 during my week off.

If you're considering the laptop travel lifestyle, affiliate marketing is one the best choices for generating the residual income you need to enjoy plenty of time off with a dependable and respectable income. And you can continue to build your income while you travel, if you like. One to three hours a day spent with your ThinkPad Notebooks , publishing new articles, can develop this stream of income on an ongoing basis.

Two years ago I came across an article that changed my life. It put me onto URL: The Affiliate Marketing Handbook by James Martell. I printed the eBook out, three hole punched it and put it in a binder. Then I began feverishly highlighting the pages and making copious notes. In that eBook I found a blueprint for making a very substantial residual income and a way to realize my laptop travel dreams. You're reading this post today, thanks to James Martell :-).

Writing Royalties

If you have a flair for writing, you can make a great residual income writing a novel or perhaps a book on travel. My younger daughter is pursuing a career in writing and one day I expect the royalties will provide her with a substantial stream of residual income.

You could of course write for travel magazines and do copywriting for websites and publications (Helium), but you'd have to write on an ongoing basis to maintain your income, much like the blogs I publish. To fully experience a travel lifestyle, more and more of our income needs to have a residual component.

I welcome your comments, particularly if you know of another way to make a stream of residual income while you travel.

The single greatest improvement you can make to your laptop is adding memory. When I updated my MacBook from 1GB to 2GB the increase in speed was incredible. As they say, there is no such thing as a fast enough motorcycle or computer.

You'll find a RAM upgrade particualrly beneficial if you have an older laptop/notebook computer. I've still got my Acer Ferrari 3000 and HP Pavillion n5425 kicking around and running strong. (It's amazing what a little TLC will do.) I updated to Windows Vista Premium on the Acer Ferrari and 512mb just didn't cut it any more. 1024mb was just the ticket for the older machine and I handed it down to my younger daughter, ready for it's next life.

Here's a laptop memory selection widget I hope helps:

You've probably become sick of spam and advertising about Agloco and the Viewbar. If you're a Windows user, you can generate cash just by browsing on the internet. Mac users, such as myself, can use the Agloco viewbar in Windows, using Parallels Desktop.

But there's a network/affiliate marketing component. You make money when you get other people to join Agloco. Add an invitation to the signature of your outgoing emails. Add a link from your website and blog posts.

What is Agloco? On the Internet, advertisers and marketers are eagerly and greedily gathering information about you, your interests, your shopping patterns, and other pieces of your personal information. They use this information to build a “profile” which can be used to target advertisements to you. In fact, some “data brokerage” companies will sell that profile information — your information! — to the highest bidder.

An infomediary turns this equation upside down by working as an agent on behalf of consumers to gather the same kind of data profile, but this time the profile is kept private and under the ultimate control of the consumer. The infomediary then pays consumers a share of the advertising revenue. As the community of users grows, and the quality of the targeting profile improves, the infomediary can provide advertisers with a richer and more valuable advertising audience and in turn the infomediary can deliver more value back to the community. Agloco is good for us!

The successful laptop traveler relies on many streams of income. Join Agloco today and start cashing in on this lucrative stream of additional income!

I find that as I travel, some countries favor one chat client over another, and soon you have to have five programs open to keep up with all the friends met along the way. Having many chat programs open can really slow down your computer. And then there's the three MSN Messenger accounts I monitor (home office computer, laptop computer and a mobile phone). With Meebo I can monitor all of my chats with a single program, including multiple MSN Messenger accounts.

Meebo currently supports chat rooms and MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, Jabber, Google Talk and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). It's the traveler's dream, especially in areas where internet connection speeds aren't the best. If you have a blog you can add a Meebo widget to your sidebar, making you accessible to your friends and fans.

You can download Meebo free.

It has been my mission to not only provide a travel blog that focuses on creating the income streams required to travel, but also assist my visitors in the other part of the equation; keeping prices affordable.

I'm very excited to announce that the Destinations and Luggage Travel Deals went online tonight. I'll keep you posted as I put together other deals for you.

It's a happy day for me!

After more than ten years as a hardcore PC advocate, I finally 'converted' and bought two Macs at the end of 2006. When Apple went with Intel chips it opened up new opportunities. Running Parallels Desktop, I am able to run Windows XP at the same time as OS X Tiger. I can use all my old XP software. I love my iPod for listening to music and training seminars, and I now enjoy tracking my runs with Nike+ iPod. So you might say I've become a fan of products from Cupertino.

So what's the big news? After being rejected previously (blog too small and too little traffic... still assessing emotional damage from rejection) I was accepted today and I can now offer the Apple Store through Laptop Travel Lifestyle to all of our readers. Thanks to everyone for visiting this site and bringing my traffic figures up high enough so Apple gave me the nod. You rock!

We're just hammering out the details, but it looks like I'll have Lenovo ThinkPads in the Laptop Deals section pretty soon... fingers crossed.

Someone You Meet in Your Travels

If you're a single laptop traveler, foreign attraction will most likely give you the opportunity for romance in your travels.

So do you have a whirlwind fling or attempt to make something more? The two of you could live on opposite sides of the world. Your goals, dreams, aspirations and culture will likely be completely different. But for now, you have this moment, this time when your dissimilar paths cross. You feel alive, in love. Do you go for it and enjoy the time that you have together? Or is it better to deny your feelings, close that door and lock your heart away?

If you have actual feelings for the other person beyond attraction, the situation can be very complicated. There are no good answers, so talk the situation out with the other person. How long will you two be together? Are you likely to see each other again? How do you both feel about long-distance relationships? Can you handle a few days or weeks of love followed by a sad but necessary breakup? Only the two of you can answer those questions.

If you decide to proceed, be truthful with yourself. Recognize that the unusual situation can intensify everything, both the good and the bad. Enjoy your time together, but do not place expectations on the relationship. When it's over, part on good terms. Exchange email addresses and phone numbers, leaving the door open for the future. At the same time, it would be better not to wrap up your future dreams and expectations in what are ultimately two ships passing in the night.

Someone You Meet Online

It is becoming increasingly more common to meet people online and have a friendly face waiting when you arrive at the next destination. If you decide to add cyberdating to your travel itinerary, it's important to be honest about your intentions. If you're completely up front it is possible to date exciting people on your travels. Dating people from other cultures can enrichen your travel experience. However, if you entertain false hopes of a more permanent relationship, or lead your partners into expecting more, you're likely look back upon a string of heartbreaks.
