Don’t underestimate the money you can make by monetizing your travel blog with ads, sponsored articles, affiliate marketing, etc. Say affiliate marketing for example, you can share on your blog your favorite site to book a hotel or buy travel insurance, then receive a commission every time your reader clicks onto the link and make a purchase.
