How to Make Money as Travel Writer

January 24, 2012 • moderator

To many, the idea of earning through travel writing sounds like a dream job. Wandering the world, visiting exotic locales, meeting interesting people, seeing sights and having adventures do sound great. But what if you could get paid to write travel articles online? How great would it be to plunk down with your laptop under the shade of a palm tree and earn some bucks to help finance your journeys? This may sound like an impossible dream, but trust me when I tell you it is quite a realistic goal.

One of the simplest ways to start earning money travelling is by posting on other people’s blog. Blogging is huge today and it’s all over the internet. The neat thing about blogging is that for almost any subject you can think about, there’s going to be several blogging sites. Check out some travelling blog sites and offer them your articles. Although most sites require you to write at least a few hundred words, if you have a lot of travel experience, you’ll have no problem completing the assignment. Set a certain fee for your article and begin making money. Blogs are constantly in need of fresh new content, which you can provide for them.

Another way is to start up your own blog post. If you’ve never created your own blog before then a free blogging platform like Google’s Blogger is a good choice to get your feet wet. However, if you want to eventually make a living at this then buck up for your own hosting and domain name, and create your travel blog on the WordPress platform. With an endless number of themes, plug-ins and widgets to play with you can customize the look and feel of your travel blog until you find the combination that works best for you.
If you’ve ever thought of becoming an affiliate partner with some business, this is a great opportunity. While your travel articles will generate traffic to your site, the ads will bring in the revenue!

Okay, so you’ve written some articles, and you’ve started to get some traffic to your website. How do you go about making money with your travel blog?

There are a number of ways to monetize your travel website, and as your website gets bigger and more popular you’ll find no shortage of money-making opportunities in this popular niche. If you are still a small fish in a big pond it is recommended to use Google Adsense. It is the most popular and easiest way to monetize your blog is to join Google’s Adsense program. Set up an account and paste the code into your blog posts on in the sidebar and Google will custom tailor the adverts to match the content on the pages they are displayed. Each time someone clicks on an ad you’ll earn a small amount of money and Google will send you a check (or Paypal deposit) for every $100.

Like in the case of affiliate marketing, one of the easiest ways to monetize your blog is through Amazon’s Associates to develop banners and links for travel related products. Anytime someone follows one of these links and purchases a product or service you’ll get a little bit of money for it. Never advertise products you wouldn’t buy yourself (jeopardizing the relationship you have with your readers) and place a disclaimer (here’s the Travel Blog Advice disclaimer) somewhere visible on your blog letting people know you make use of affiliate links.

Joining blog contest like Contest Beat and Contest Blogger is another way to earn money through your travel blog. They post a number of free contests with cash and gift prizes everyday. Most are asking for essays or interesting photos, two things your travel blog is already filled with. Even if you don’t win a prize you’ll at least have a post or two for your travel blog.

Lastly, some travel bloggers have had some success writing paid reviews of products and services using Pay per Post and Review Me. Based on the popularity of your blog you’ll get paid a few bucks for 100-400 word reviews you post on your travel blog.

As you can see there are plenty of options to earn money travel writing online. Grab a laptop, a digital camera and start documenting your vacation experiences. Be prolific and passionate and one day you can be living the dream as a full time travel writer.

How to Make Money Blogging

January 6, 2011 • tony

Is it possible to make money blogging? Some people might be doing for fun as a side income. But there are a few people who are serious in blogging and make a full time living through their blogs. A good example will be Darren Rowse who makes a 6 figure income through blogging. Another success blogger will be Brian Clerk who blogs on copywriting. There are many more successful examples. So how do you actually make money out from blogs? Below are 4 common monetizing methods that bloggers use.

Make Money Through Google Adsense

Google Adsense is the easiest way to make money with any blog. It is an online advertising application by Google. What you need to do is sign up an account and put in a piece of code on your website and it will automatically show relevant ads on your blog. When a reader clicks on the ad, you will receive a commission. The average commission is around $0.30 depending on the ad. Once you get more than 100 clicks a day, you can easily make an extra few hundreds from your blog every month. With substantial volume of traffic, you are able to earn more than a thousand each month!

Advertising Sponsorship

Putting up banners is the most tradition way of advertising. If you have traffic on you blog, you can find advertisers to sponsor your blog. It can be header ad or sidebar banners. Selling banner space can be a stable income for your blog every month. So for example if you blog about baby early learning, you can find advertisers in your baby early learning niche to advertise some products.
Another method is to approach advertisers to offer them a sponsored review of their products. You can charge $50 or more for a quick review. At times you might also get free products from the sponsor to try and keep it! I know of some bloggers who get sponsored trips to travel and blog about it. Really interesting job!

Selling Affiliate Products

Another strategy bloggers use to earn money from blogs is to sell affiliate products. You might have a blog on dog training and you can find relevant products like dog training ebook to sell on your blog. You just need to insert an affiliate link from your site. Once the reader clicks the link and makes a purchase of the ebook, you will get a commission on it. Comission usually range from 30% to 50% or more which is actually quite a good income. Many bloggers have gone in affiliate marketing and make thousands every month. To find affiliate products to sell, you can check out Clickbank.

Membership

Making a membership site is a very profitable business model. There are bloggers offering premium content and selling for more than $50 a month. You do the maths and you will realize how much you can earn with just a mere 100 members a month. To create a successful membership site, you will need to be an expert in a field or an authority blogger whom people trust. A typical scenario will be a guitarist shooting his own video tutorials and upload on his site and charging readers to sign up as a member to learn some cool flicks. The recurring membership fees make this a very lucrative income for bloggers.

I hope the following examples will give you an idea how to make money blogging.
