Hey Rachel,

That’s really inspiring me to get ideas on how blogging could earn money but also bring valuable content to the readers! I’ve been running my travel blog 1 year now and I hope to get the amount of traffic you have. Let’s keep it up!

This really was a wealth of information, thanks so much for sharing! As a freelancer, I am flexible with my projects and time commitments and I’m wondering if I could realistically get into travel blogging as a part-time gig and earn some income from it? Would it be feasible for someone like me who travels about 3-4 times a year? I also really need to get cracking on the frequent flyer and cards rewards programs. It would be great to hear from you. Cheers!

In reply to Brittany Jane Sneller | Bits of Bri. I'll be in the first two weeks of Feb then traveling, and it would be good to meet up! Send me an email when you are here :) glad the blog has been helpful to you - good luck with yours!

Hey gal!

I’ve been on your site for literally over an hour now (lol) — I started my own travel blog Bits of Bri because I was drowning in stories to share from living in Nepal, Colombia, Europe (and soon Mexico) and traveling/backpacking Europe + SE Asia. But I started two other websites with my partner which have taken priority in my time and writing. But thanks to you, I think I’ll start publishing again and get back on track! BTW, we will be visiting India for 3 weeks in Feb and probably will take some time for Goa, it would be crazy to see you there!!

Cheers,
Brittany

In reply to Christie. So glad you found my blog! I haven't been to NZ or Aus :( I would say the best trip is to write a LOT so you start to get in Google's system and show up in search results.

I just came across your blog through the Female Travel Bloggers FB group and am loving it :) I’m an American expat too, currently in NZ but I was living in Australia before that. I’ve had my blog for a couple years now but just wrote it for fun to share with my family and friends really. But now I’m starting to focus on growing it some more. Of the tips above, which would you say is the best one to focus on first for someone just starting out? (Press trips and campaigns sound the most exciting but probably not very realistic for me to focus on yet) :)

Great tips. I’ve gotten more serious about my blog this past year and am looking to make it my sole source of income, so all advice is welcome. Love your site and will definitely be back for more!

Hello Rachel, I just popped over to your blog from Jen Stewie’s. How nice of you to share ideas on how to make the blog into a money-churning venture. I am much enthused. Cheers. Arundhati.

In reply to Ankita Shreeram. Hi Ankita! Yes, it's a balance between reviews and travel tips. I try to make a list of travel tips articles I want to write and space them out in my calendar.

I’ve been travel blogging since 2015 but I’d like the traffic to be a lot higher..I think the parts about personalising, posting often and posting useful+great content ring true for me. I find it strange to reveal myself in my posts too – and because I have a full-time job, I don’t post often enough. Also, I think travel tips should outnumber reviews – which is something I need to correct. Thanks for the inspiration!

In reply to Emma | Luxurybackpacking. Hey Emma! Hmm, that's a tricky one. I was the exact opposite and my blog grew faster than my social. It must be like this for everyone though (one way or the other) so keep at it!

These are some really great tips! We started our travel blog back in October and are really finding it hard to get people to our site despite having over 70,000 followers on all our social media platforms!
We use Avada Theme too and love it :) Happy Travels! xoxo
