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.
