Originality and expertise

That way, you can grow your reputation quickly. Besides, carving a travel niche for your blog will further show your audience that you're an expert.

For example, you can focus on family vacations. Then, you can build up a reputation across various social media platforms by targeting family groups/pages.

Both tools will help you to write and optimize contents easily for your audience.

Furthermore, the quality of your blog glues your audience to your contents. In other words, invest in mobile-friendly blogs that are simple to surf.

Guest and sponsored posts

Do you know that travel-blog owners pay travel bloggers to contribute guest posts on their blogs?

The best thing yet about guest posting is the backlink if affords you to your blog. Put simply, guest posting does not only make you money but also brings you some audience.

Once you have a great deal of audience, you can start accepting other bloggers to publish their contents on your blog for pay. This is called sponsored posts.

Google AdSense and Affiliate marketing

Google AdSense and Affiliate marketing are passive means of income for bloggers generally. Once you set them up, you keep reaping yields. Affiliate marketing, in particular, attracts travel kit companies and tourism service providers to you and your blog.

There's one rule though to all those tips: always remember the focus is on your audience. Consider their interest first and the money will follow.
