Ask An Adventurer gives you all the essentials on turning your hobby into a paying profession: from managing time to engaging audiences, pitching to clients to self-marketing. A really interesting read, yet down to earth and practical, I think anyone intrigued to learn about becoming any kind of full-time ‘artist’ would get something from this very lucidly written book.” – Buzz Magazine

Adventurers cross deserts and row oceans, appearing to live the dream. Yet they also must pay the bills and carve out time to get away.

Are you trying to make a career doing what you love, daring to go freelance in a creative industry, growing a tribe or curious about an unconventional career? What is it like to build a life from living adventurously?  

Whether you are adventurous, creative, or just curious, Ask An Adventurer answers your questions from behind the scenes. All of the questions in the book were posed to Alastair by readers on social media.

Description

Adventurers cross deserts and row oceans, appearing to live the dream. Yet they also must pay the bills and carve out time to get away. 

Are you trying to make a career doing what you love, daring to go freelance in a creative industry, growing a tribe or curious about an unconventional career? What is it like to build a life from living adventurously? 

Whether you are adventurous, creative, or just curious, Ask An Adventurer answers your questions from behind the scenes, rather than the usual questions adventurers hear: there are no kit lists, practical expedition planning advice or daring deeds in these pages. Instead, Alastair tackles questions asked by readers on social media such as:

  • How do you make a living?
  • How do you make time for adventure?
  • How do you stay motivated and focused?
  • How do you deal with post-adventure blues?
  • How do you deal with the dilemma of flying and travel?
  • How has social media changed the way you tell stories?
  • How do you become an adventurer?
  • How much does an adventurer earn?
  • How do you decide what you will or won’t do for money?
  • How do you find sponsors?
  • How do you get your work done?
  • How can we make the world of adventure better?
  • How do you get a book published?
  • How do you get paid to give talks?
  • How do you become a better speaker?
  • How do you deal with emails?
  • How do you start a podcast?
  • How do you launch an email newsletter?

    Hi Alastair, congrats on the book project. I have no idea what the time investment is to do an Audiobook version, but if you do, please let us all know–that’s about the only way I consume books these days!
