If you are wondering how to monetize a travel blog, you might consider several options, but certainly the fastest way is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing and travel blogs go hand in hand, and you don't even need to change the way you write or reorganize your blog to adapt it.
Affiliate marketing is best because:
It's easy to implement
There are many famous sites that offer attractive commissions.
Recommendations are always searched by people.
How to implement affiliate marketing in your travel blog
In essence, affiliate marketing simply recommends things people can buy. Perhaps this is what you already do a lot on your travel blog.
Choosing to monetize your travel blog with affiliate marketing means that you’ll get a small pullback for recommendations you’re already making.
This is perhaps the most popular way to monetize a travel blog, because:
In any case, the recommendations are always executed, so why not make money on it
People are actively looking for recommendations - that’s half the rest.
And most importantly, it is unobtrusive - you, as a rule, no longer need to change anything in what you are doing now.
In a travel blog, content is king. I don't want you to change that at all.
Unlike advertising and banners throughout your site, affiliate marketing slips right into the content you are writing, and people sincerely want to hear about your recommendations. This is perfect.
Here are 5 ways you can use affiliate marketing on your blog without being distracted by it:
1. The work product is mentioned in your blogs.
When you write your travel related posts, you will always recommend services and products that the person reading your message should know about.
If you find that you are making a recommendation, check to see if this company has an affiliate program.
This is a good way to build your affiliate marketing over time.
2. monetize your past blog posts
Monetizing your old blog posts is a fantastic way to pour rocket fuel into your affiliate marketing.
Older blog posts will be filled with product recommendations, website recommendations and more. Use this using a tool such as the Autolinker module in ThirstyAffiliates Pro.
This tool allows you to provide keywords for your affiliate links, and then these keywords will be automatically linked to your affiliate links in real time. It's amazing.
There is no better way to instantly monetize all the hard work you have done.
3. Side graphics for high-level recommendations.
The graphics and sidebar banners are still an excellent option for recommending high-level products and services that will appeal to almost all travelers.
Things like insurance, booking sites, special equipment and other things that you often talk about using. Graphics draws attention, and this can very quickly translate into commissions.
4. News summary
Have you ever written such posts as "10 best backpacks for ..." or "8 family cruises that you need ...".
Modest news publishing is very powerful content that is not only well rated, but will also be shown on social networks. For a post that attracts such attention, you will want to tag several affiliate links among these recommendations.
It can also help to return to your old consolidated publications, which, as you know, are already popular, and see if something of what you are talking about can be associated with a partnership offer.
5. Transactions
When you talk about certain deals, you should know that most of these deals will have an affiliate program, of which you could become a member.
Considers related posts (for example, posts like “10 romantic holidays on this Valentine's Day ...”) during peak periods can lead to serious sales figures.
Secondly, having a specific and permanent “Transactions” page on your site can help you collect all this information in one place for visitors to search. Many travel bloggers report that such pages are quickly becoming the most popular on their site.
