Getting
to travel blogging for making money was by selling links and having 40-50 niche
websites with Google ad-words ads. Press trips didn’t exist for bloggers and
getting paid for our work was tough.
Thankfully
it is much easier to monetize travelling these days. It’s also a more
competitive market currently. There are ways to jump ahead and there are
several travel storiesand methods which can help in giving an
understanding about how the whole procedure takes place.
Below
are three of the most common and best methods by which you can monetise
travelling in 2020.
1.
Working as a virtual assistant for other blogs
Working
for a more established blogger will help you understand how to become more
effective with your own travel blog. These jobs are mostly come from
in-person networking. At first, it’s great to attend industry events like travel
events, and even travel conventions, if for no other reason than to network
with other bloggers, to market your VA services, and to just become aware of
opportunities.
Or, try
to just offer your services to a blogger who you absolutely admire. You would
be surprised how many bloggers need help but don’t know where to look, but when
they did take help, they got themselves into a high platform.
2.
Getting
into affiliate marketing
It’s
never too early to start with affiliate marketing. The reason why this is suggested
is, as getting into this early is because the pages that you put on your blog
earlier will have more time to be indexed by Google. This is a long game, and
you may not see the results from the labour you put in for a year or two, but
this can become incredibly worthwhile with time.
For
example, bloggers have written about Southeast Asia four months into their
blogging career and now it’s one of the most successful affiliate pages. It
took a bit of time but it paid off. This is always true for most people in the
travel blogging career. The key is to only promote products that you truly
think can help others to know more and learn more, and can interesting for the
audience in general. To successfully market products to your audience, their
trust always has to come first, and to gain that you must work on your products.
3.
Working on any sort of paid campaigns
Eventually,
when you have built up a proper platform your audience and social media
channels, you may have paid opportunities coming your way. It might include
product partnerships or destinations wherein you agree to a certain amount of
deliverables in exchange for things such as an all paid trip and some cash in
return as well.
This
sounds like the dream job, and it is, but it only makes sense if the
destination and the campaign really make sense with your brand and your
business motives, and if you are capable of delivering everything that you
promise to your boss and your audience.
