How Anyone Can Make Money From Travel Writing by Jeevan Lim-Nunez
For many people travel writing is the perfect job. You get to go to exotic locations, write about your experiences and get paid for it. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to just write your story and give it to a magazine editor. Luckily, there is another way.
The easiest way which is available to anyone is to create a Blog (use Blogger or wordpress for free), post your articles on it and then direct traffic to your site. This can be done from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access.
So how exactly do you make money from this? Well there are a number of ways.
Use affiliate links. By using programs such as click bank, you can post related affiliate links in your blog and earn commissions on any sales that come from your links
Google Adwords. Adwords advertisements get displayed on your site. Every time someone clicks on one you get a commission.
Promoting your own products. If you have created your own related product, wrote a book etc. then you can advertise it directly on your site.
Resubmit your articles to other sites. There are a few different sites, such as Associated Content or Xomba, where you can submit your articles and earn a revenue share from their commissions. The advantage of this is that these sites are usually very well established and will get much more traffic than your site. Be sure the site does not want exclusive rights to your articles or you won’t be able to post them anywhere else.
Getting Content for Your Travel Blog
The obvious way to get content for your travel blog is to write it. Make sure your articles are interesting so people will want to keep reading and come back to read more. Some suggested topics are top ten lists, food, shopping, travel health and adventurous, unknown or luxury locations.
You can use other peoples articles. There are many article directories out there, and most of them allow you to grab there content to republish for free. Just make sure you follow their publishers guideline which usually consists of not changing the article and leaving the resource box. A great one for you to try is my own article directory which specialises in Travel Articles. First Action Articles.com. You can get the link in my resource box.
Once you’ve created your blog and gathered some content you need to drive traffic to it. There are many different ways to do this and you should do as many of them as you can.
Submit your articles to other directories. Don’t just submit your article to the places that will pay you, also submit them to free article directories. It is a great way to get people to link back to your site. These are the same places you grabbed your content from. Don’t forget FirstActionArticles.com! Hint; There are article submission services which, for a fee, will submit your articles to hundreds of article sites so you don’t have to spend the time doing it.)
Ezine advertising. Have a link on your site where people can sign up their email address. To entice them you could offer a free ebook, e course, a periodic email, or a combination of these. This is a massive subject on its own. There is plenty of information on this on the internet. Hint; I offer a free ebook on my website firstactionarticles.com which you can redistribute for free as long as you don’t change it.
Participate in forums regularly. Sign up to forums that are in your field and post in in them at least once a week. In your signature you can put a link to your website.
Submit your website to search engines. The two most well known ones are Google and Yahoo, but don’t stop with those two.
Pay for traffic. This can bring in a ton of traffic, but the downfall of course is that you have to pay for it. There are a few options for this but to start with I recommend Google Adwords.
Other Added Benefits
Apart from making some money, there are many other benefits and ways to take advantage of owning your own travel writing blog

Excerpt: Saipan Sucks (SaipanSucks.com) is a politically and socially critical website about the United States’s Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), particularly its principal island Saipan. The website seeks to call attention to what it sees as systemic societal corruption in the CNMI. It has been in existence since 2001 and has been reported in a variety of ways in local, regional, and international newsprint and magazine outlets, on ABC Radio Australia, and Internet forums and blogs, including the personal blog of travel book author David Stanley. The website has been the subject of intense debate and scrutiny by the CNMI government, who has threatened to sue the website’s author. Image of one of the dozens of variants of the Saipan Sucks logo. Other versions contain different sayings under the main caption “Welcome to Saipan”. The website also makes available for purchase t-shirts and other paraphernalia featuring the logo and above saying.Saipan Sucks seeks to call attention to what it sees as systemic societal problems in the CNMI that are supported by misuse of United States taxpayer money. Press outlets have quoted the following excerpt from the website: Nepotism rules on the islands. Fueled by money paid by American taxpayers and diverted to the far-off territory, politicians run for office primarily for the sake of being in a position to appoint their relatives to high-paying sinecures. The website presents allegations of corruption, racism, nepotism, jury-rigging, worker exploitation, employment discrimination, and mismanagement of the CNMI tourism industry by local CNMI officials, and seeks to warn U.S. mainlanders about moving to the islands to accept employment offers. Since July 2001, shortly after Saipan Sucks was pub… More: |
