If you enjoy traveling and sharing the cuisine of different cities or countries, it can be tempting to start a travel and food blog to document your journey and (hopefully) make a little money while you’re at it.

As a food blogger myself, I understand what it takes to build an blog that people actually read and makes money. If you’re thinking of starting a travel blog or YouTube channel, here are some name ideas that I think would work well for a new brand.

How to Make Money Travel Blogging

Did you know that you can profit off travel and food blogging? It might sound crazy, but most bloggers (including myself) make their money pretty much the same way. Here are a few of the top ways I know.

Note: For the purposes of this article, I think of a blogger as anyone who publishes content online about a specific subject. You could write, podcast, or create videos. I view a blog as a mini-media company.

Apply To Be A Travel Blog Writer

You can get paid to be a writer for a blog site. In order for travel blogs to cover more ground and post different kinds of travel topics, they have writers submitting their articles to them and these writers then get paid.

Check out online job hires for this or you can just apply to your favorite travel blog site if they have any openings. Another option is to join a outsourced work website like Fiverr or Upwork.

While you’re not going to get rich writing for other people, doing a little writing like this on the side is the fastest way I know to make a few bucks blogging about travel. As an added benefit, you can become recognized in the travel space as a quality writer and improve your skills while making a little money.

Start Your Own Blog

If you want to make big money travel or food blogging, you need to own the property. This means either starting a blog, vlog, YouTube channel, Instagram account, or podcast. To make the big bucks, you won’t get rich working for someone else.

If writing is a no-brainer for you, start a travel blog. Write your experiences, tips, and travel finds. Once you get your content going, you can do the following:

Affiliate Marketing: This is recommending stuff to your readers by including links found on sites such as Amazon or Etsy. For every person that uses your link to buy a product, you get to earn money.
Advertising: Allow brands to advertise their products or services your website. These brands will pay for the exposure just like they would a magazine or television station. The first platform I used to host ads on my blog was Google Adsense. I never made more than $500 monthly with this program, but it got me started and covered the expenses of my Starbucks coffee habit.
Create Products: Write an e-book or offer detailed travel itineraries. You can then sell these for a price.

Monetize Your Video

If writing isn’t your thing, create a travel vlog. Youtube lets you monetize the videos you upload once you reach a certain subscriber and viewer count so concentrate on building that audience.

How much can you make travel blogging?

The income a travel blog makes, depends on the blog. Some bloggers make more than $1 million in sales per year, while others don’t make anything. Most bloggers make nothing or next to nothing. I generate 5-figures monthly from the blog you’re reading right now. Most of my revenue is made through the ads you see on the page.

But don’t let the average low revenue numbers discourage you. Why? Most people that start blogs don’t approach blogging as a real business. When you start a blog, vlog, or social media account, it’s almost always slow going. Most bloggers will give up in the first year or month or so of publishing and not seeing results. You’ve got to have faith and find a way to power through the early days.

Here are a few different income reports from travel blogs that demonstrate how much money you could make. I’ve included a few reports that show the range of incomes that are possible from high to low. Keep in mind that many of these bloggers have been publishing for half a decade or more. They didn’t start making this money on day 1.

ItsaLovelyLife.com – $1,169,677.40 annual revenue.
LivingtheDreamRTW.com – $8,080 monthly revenue. This is a nice report with not only revenue numbers, but expenses too. The revenue numbers are updated monthly on this page.
NomadNumbers.com – In 2020, this blog made less than $2,000 in revenue. They started their blog in 2018. Unfortunately, this slow slog is part for the course with most blogs.

Pro Tip: As a new blogger, I recommend studying these income reports. These websites explain how to make money and reveals the expenses of a blog. If someone else is making money through ads or affiliate marketing, you can too! You’ll notice common themes in the way bloggers make money after reading a few income reports. There’s no mystery to making money from a blog.

Based on my conversation with other bloggers, it seems like it takes about 3 years to hit a full-time income by blogging on average. I’m defining a full-time income being as $32,000 – $50,000 USD in revenue per year. Depending on where you’re at in your career this might sounds amazing or be terrible. Of course you might be able to do it faster than myself and the other folks I’ve met.

One last tip…

A lot of people assume that you need to jet set to destinations like Paris or Fiji to become a travel blogger. But I think you should do the opposite. Start by writing reviews and travel tips of the place you live. Share the little known restaurants or things to do that only locals know about.

There have been literally hundreds of reviews on what to do in Austin Texas, but there is almost no coverage of what to do when visiting Grand Forks, North Dakota. Start publishing content about the place you live first and you’ll be able to start down the path of building a successful travel blog for next to nothing.

Now that you’ve (hopefully) got your travel blog brand name figured out, it’s time to start thinking about what type of content you’ll be publishing. Click here to learn my process for coming up with blog topics that drive traffic and earn money.
