Do you want to make money blogging but don’t know where to start?
I’ve been there. It’s tough. You’re not sure what kind of content people will actually pay for. and you’re not sure how much time it will take up. But here’s the thing – if you can figure out a way to monetize your blog. without having to constantly create sponsored content or go on trips, then that is going to be so much better for your business (and soul).
You are not alone. There are thousands of other bloggers out there who feel the same way as you do about sponsored content, but still want to make money from their blog. I know what it’s like to be stuck in that cycle and how frustrating it can be. Passive income means freedom, security, and more free time with family and friends. It also means being able to choose where you live. instead of living somewhere because of your job or business (like most people).
I’m not like other bloggers. I don’t make money the traditional way – with a blog and content creation. but instead my most valuable skill is in speaking to audiences of all sizes around the world through public appearances or consulting gigs; plus there are always those video edits that need doing (if you want them done fast).
I like keeping it real: This is how many creative professionals generate revenue streams outside their blogs/content curation efforts!
What are the benefits of being a travel blogger?
A lot of people have misconceptions about this job. Some think it’s all sunshine and rainbows, while others worry that they’ll never be satisfied with their work. because there will always be something new happening in the industry. but these beliefs couldn’t possibly compare to reality! For one thing, traveling can make you much happier than staying home does; another reason why many bloggers find themselves choosing freelance writing over traditional 9-5 jobs is due simply. because there’s more flexibility when dealing with deadlines (and less stress). Who wouldn’t want some time off every now then??
So you want to start your own blog? Here are the steps. First, sign up for an account with WordPress (www.(insert link).com) or a similar platform that has themes available in order of importance: beginner -> intermediate -> advanced -> expert-level design – whichever one best suits what kind of content/experience you have planned out online! The second step would be deciding on a name. given by yourself and then choosing between different skins like dark skin. which makes everything look darker or light background etc., but there’s also pink if all else fails 😉 Lastly, put together some good stuff about who this website will cover; topics could range anywhere really
How do travel bloggers make money?
Travelers turn to blog as a way of sharing their adventures with the world. A few months ago, I would have said advertising was my most consistent form of income. but lately, Coronavirus and Google’s latest update has had an effect on both page views and earnings. RPM is also fluctuating slightly at times which makes predicting. what I’ll earn each month is difficult without knowing how many people will visit or convert into customers. But even if you’re not getting traffic numbers like before. there are still ways for those who write regularly can generate some cash flow from web publishing!
Affiliate marketing:
The idea of affiliate marketing is simple. Post a link to an item you find beneficial and if people buy it. they can pay with their credit card or PayPal account without leaving the site (as long as there are no hidden charges).
It was not until I became pregnant that my focus turned towards making money through blogging: rather than writing posts. just so visitors could read them, now we needed content for search engines too! As soon as Build, Blog Freedom training came out last year. it helped me build up an income from these channels while caring full, time about raising kids at home
Sponsored Posts:
How do travel bloggers make money? sponsored posts are my next biggest source of income. I tend to accept them. if they come from brands. that have kindly offered their product or service for review in exchange for an honest opinion. shared exclusively with all readers, not just those who might be interested through paid advertising channels like Google Adwords (and yes there is such thing).
Having said this though please don’t think it’s only because these advertisers pay us anything! All content on our blog has been contributed by me. even around topics where other sources were available. so when someone wants something written up about themselves. which matches what we already know best how to cover them.
Blog Trips:
In the past, blogging about paid blog trips has been one of my biggest sources of income. While these types of posts can be well-paid and labor-intensive they also come at a cost: time spent setting up content before any trip starts as well as maintaining an active website afterward with frequent posts that require much editing/proofreading to turn them into interesting reads for readers who may not live near you or even know what your passions are besides traveling!
Priority number one should always remain on building long term partnerships—whether it’s through tourism boards & travel companies OR by becoming brand ambassadorships themselves because this will go hand in hand when starting out new blogs abroad – especially if there is no established community yet within whichever country(ies)
Content writing:
Content writing is one way to monetize your blog, and it can be done in several ways. One of my favorite methods has always been contributing pieces for publications on occasion – most blogs will have an open invitation page where you are free to submit content if there’s something specific they need to be covered (such as flights). To date, I’ve written articles for Lonely Planet Australia. Skyscanner Airline Review website etc. but last month came this request from Instagram: “Do any freelance writers/bloggers want to handle our social posts?”

Social Media Promotion/Campaigns:
I’m a travel blogger with an extensive background in social media marketing. so I don’t personally tend to do one-off ads like you see lifestyle bloggers doing on Instagram. (Not because they’re bad but more often than not it doesn’t come up as being honest!) However, when commissioned by brands or other influencers for their amplified campaign – those are always nice :p My favorite thing about this type of work though isn’t just running sponsored posts into that sweet spot between content and promotion which can lead to some awesome engagement opportunities from people that might have otherwise never seen your blog before!
