In this episode of The Creator Passport Podcast, we’re breaking down the real cost of becoming a full-time content creator, no fluff, no BS, just the actual numbers, tools, and sacrifices it takes to build a travel creator business from the ground up.

Whether you’re just starting out and bootstrapping your journey with $30 or scaling to a six- or seven-figure brand with employees, software, and taxes galore, we’re walking you through everything we’ve spent (and what we’d do differently) so you can budget smarter and grow faster.

We're diving into:

The true startup cost of becoming a travel content creator (spoiler: it can be under $50!)
The must-have gear to start creating high-quality content, with just your phone
Our go-to editing apps, photo tools, and where to save vs. splurge
A full breakdown of the software stack we use (and which are actually worth it)
How we reinvested early income to scale our business sustainably
Hidden costs most creators don’t talk about: taxes, insurance, employee benefits & more
The mental + physical toll of full-time travel and how to set healthy expectations
Our top advice for making travel content when you can’t afford to travel yet
How we turned a $20K honeymoon into thousands in blog & YouTube revenue

Plus, we’re sharing the time commitment it really takes to build a successful creator brand, and how to know when it’s time to invest in help or go full-time.
