What to sell — Travel guides
Sell your travel itineraries
A travel guide is the PDF your videos can’t be: the day-by-day plan, the addresses, the real budget, what to book ahead. It sells to the people asking whether you’ll share your itinerary. Delivery is automatic after payment, and the same guide keeps selling season after season without being rewritten.
“Can you share your itinerary?” is the comment that follows every travel video that lands. What people want isn’t inspiration — the video already gave them that — it’s the logistics: where you slept, what it cost, how you got there.
Your guide beats a generic one on a point nobody can copy: you lived it. The addresses you tested, the connection you missed, the budget you really spent are worth more than a list put together from a desk.
Novoca puts your itinerary on sale straight from your profile: sales page written for you, card payments, automatic PDF delivery.
€0/month. Novoca only earns when you sell.
Payouts currently require a French bank account.

Why this niche works
Lived, not scraped
Buyers already saw you there, in your videos. Your guide extends that trust with what a video never says: opening hours, prices, real travel times, and the mistakes not to repeat.
You’re selling hours of planning
Planning a trip eats whole evenings of research. A day-by-day itinerary with the budget attached replaces all of them — that’s what the buyer pays for, not the photos.
Every trip grows the catalog
Japan, Portugal, Bali, a weekend in Lisbon: your collection grows every time you leave, and happy buyers come back for the next destination without having to be won over again.
Questions about this niche.
What’s in a travel guide that sells?+
A day-by-day itinerary, every place with a map link, the real budget broken down line by line, the stays and transport you actually booked with prices and dates, and a “what I wouldn’t do again” chapter. The level of detail you wish you’d had before leaving.
Won’t my information go out of date?+
Prices move, the structure doesn’t. Put the dates of your trip on page one — that makes the guide honest rather than stale — and publish an update after each time you go back. Every update is also a reason to talk about the product again.
Can I name hotels and restaurants?+
Yes, naming a place and giving your honest opinion is fine. What isn’t: reusing their photos without permission, or implying a partnership that doesn’t exist. And if somewhere paid for or comped your stay, say so clearly.
What should an itinerary cost?+
A market benchmark, not a promise: €9 to €24 depending on how much ground the guide covers. A full two weeks in Japan sits higher than a weekend city guide — the price follows the hours of planning it saves.
How do I get paid while I’m abroad?+
Through Stripe, into your bank account: activation happens online (bank details, ID, five minutes) and sales keep running while you travel. Payouts currently require a French bank account. Novoca takes 10% per sale, plus Stripe processing fees (1.5% + €0.25).
Is a heavily covered destination worth it?+
Yes, if your angle is sharp: “Japan in ten days without Tokyo”, “Bali with a toddler”, “Portugal in a van”. On a crowded destination it’s the constraint that sells — it tells the buyer the guide was written for their situation.
