Do you want to start a blog or did you just started one? Do you want to earn money with your blog? In this blog we share you how to it. It is not that difficult as some people say. In this article we tell you why we (Travel your Memories) started a travel blog and how we earn money with it. Also, we explain how you can start a blog and we give you our personal financial overview. Finally, we tell you our vision for the coming period to meet our goals.

Introduction why we started Travel your Memories

We are Cynthia and Alexander who started Travel your Memories in 2019 with a vision: sharing our travel passion. Each year we travelled during holiday period. This was one of the highlights of the year because it means a lot for us. We love discovering new places and cultures.

We worked for a couple of years where we thought at a certain moment: is this lifestyle they we want. Currently it is “easy” to do what you really want. We started Travel your Memories because we wanted to follow our passion.
In our blog we write articles about each destination we’ve been visited. We share our experiences and give our personal tips to help other travelers.

To decide to start Travel your Memories was not easy. We did a lot of research what kind of business suits us best. Important for us was that we can do the work anywhere. Traveling is our passion the only question was: can we make a living out of it? We believe a travel blog is a good business model. Do you want to read more about Travel your Memories check our about us page for more information.

How to start a travel blog

Before you start you need to think about some aspects, which you read below.

First of all do something you really like. Don’t start something that drain all your energy. If you start a travel blog write only about the things you personally experiences. There are travel bloggers who write about places that they have never been, don’t make this same mistake. Be personal so that you become a trusted writer.

Determine your niche

A very important part before you start is to determine what your niche is. When you build your site you have to take this into account. Our niche is travel. Do research on the internet to determine what kind of blog suites you the best.

Step-by-step plan to start the blog

It is very easy to start a blog. First choose a web host. We use WordPress and recommend this to for bloggers. When choosing your web host check if they have a WordPress ad-on. It is very useful to have all your applications in one location. We recommend HostGator. If you are from the Netherlands, like us, we recommend Hostnet. When you bought the domain and activated WordPress you can start building your site.

You can find a lot of information and videos on how to build a site on the internet. If you do not want / cannot do this, you can also outsource this via Upwork. We recommend to build your site yourself, because this teaches you the whole structure of WordPress and background.

We have used the theme newspaper and built everything with it. After you have set the structure correctly, you can start writing blogs.

How to earn money with a travel blog

It is important with a blog to focus on multiple sources of income. AdSense and affiliate marketing are the most important and easiest sources of income in the beginning.

AdSense works very simple. You sign up with Google AdSense and place advertisements on your website. You receive a commission when a visitor clicks on an ad on your site. In our opinion is affiliate marketing the best way to make money with blogging. You refer visitors to a product and upon purchase you receive a commission. Important is that your site is authentic to make affiliate marketing a success. You have also other earning streams such as selling digital products (course), set up a patron environment or start coaching, but this is not what you should focus on in the beginning.

We currently choose to focus on AdSense and affiliate marketing.

What is essential to know before you start

Be unique, honest and positive. Know how Google works, make sure your site is fast, appeal to target visitors, maximize your AdSense and get a high ranking in Google search queries.

Know how Google works

To have a successful website, you should focus just like us on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Keyword Research (KWR). You can find a lot of information about both topics, we will not discuss this in this blog.

We would like to introduce you to Rankmath, this is an application like Yoast SEO that is used by bloggers to focus on SEO and KWR. We personally like to work with Rankmath, because it is more user-friendly. The most important tip we can give is that before you start writing a blog you already know what your KWR is. Do not go for the difficult KWR in the beginning, because as a new website you are still too small.

To grow your site on Google you need to increase your Domain Authority (DA). In general when you have a high DA you will rank better in Google search queries. To increase your DA you need backlinks. There a lot of tactics how to increase your DA with backlinks. Use Neilpatel or backlinko as information resources.

Have a fast-working site

You need a fast working site to score well on SEO. No one wants to visit a site that is slow. So be careful not to make your site too heavy with, for example, photos. Important to have a good hosting company, because some servers are faster than others. The theme you use is also important for speed. The theme Newspaper is very good and can be easily purchased at themeforest.net

Income is about targeting your visitors

Affiliate marketing is the best way to earn money with blogging. Important that you have considered affiliate links on your site to help your visitors. Don’t put random links on your site, this doesn’t make any sense.

Example: for each destination which we have visited we give a recommendation where to stay. Normally we recommend two, both accommodations have been visited by us. This helps us to know what kind of links we are places and what we recommend to our readers.

Financial Overview

A lot of people are asking for sure: how long does it takes to earn money with blogging. This is difficult to answer because it depends on many factors. At this moment we do not earn any money with blogging, because we just started. At the moment we can’t blog full-time because we both work full-time

Fortunately, running a blog doesn’t cost a lot of money. Below you see an overview of our costs per year for running a blog. In addition, we have also included an optional costs overview.

Hosting domain name: € 18
WordPress via hosting: € 95
Theme (Newspaper): € 55*
*Amounts are one-off expenses

So it costs you € 113 per year to run a blog. You have to pay around € 55 for a theme. It is important to know that there are of course a lot of more things that you need to purchase, but these are very different per person. To give you an insight into what additional costs we’ve had, you can consult the overview below:

Camera + accessory: € 2900*
Drone: € 500*
GoPro: € 450*
Laptop: € 2000*
Travel costs: € 5000
*Amounts are one-off expenses

As you can see, the cost of purchasing products is € 5850. We spend approximately € 5,000 on travel costs per year. So the first year cost us about € 11,000. In addition, we will travel for a few more months for which we have a budget of € 24,000. All in all, starting a travel blog can be very expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t have to do it like us. You can also start small and local and expand from there.

Expectation

Our goal is to have an income stream of € 1000 to € 2000 in one year. To realize this we need to work hard, travel for a couple of months and quit our job to fully focus on our goals.

Conclusion

If you really want something don’t wait to long. Follow your dream!

Start A Travel Blog

If you’re brand new to the world of travel blogging then read this guide on how to start a travel blog.

There is another style of blog which for many bloggers is a more suitable option, and that’s a blog that I call a quasi-niche site.

What is a quasi-niche?

Going by the dictionary definition, quasi is:

“having some, but not all of the features of”.

So a quasi-niche site is a blog that has that has some, but not all of the features of a niche site.

Transitioning from a general travel blog into a quasi niche travel blog

I’ve noticed a trend in travel blogs that start out as a general travel blog that then evolves into a quasi-niche site.

As I outlined in my defence of general travel blogs, it’s often the case that a travel blogger doesn’t know what their niche is until they they start blogging and find their voice. Then over the life of the site it becomes apparent that the blogger has a particular passion for a subject and blogs more about that.

The travel blogger still keeps their blog about their travels, but it now features a strength in a particular niche.

The good thing about a quasi-niche is that it lets you become an expert in your chosen field, yet it still gives you room to blog about other topics you care about.

When you pick a niche site you are generally wedded to it. For example if you start a blog about diving in Indonesia it will look out of place if you then posted an article about a weekend trip to Vienna.

A quasi niche can be about a place or a subject. Quasi destination niche sites are ideal if you are a regular traveller but are based full time in one city.

Examples of quasi-niche travel blogs

Sometimes a quasi-niche develops over time. Not everyone knows what they want to do straight away, but once you start travelling you find that you know what your interests are.

A good example of a quasi niche is Dave’s Travel Pages. This site has been online since 2005, where is began life as a general travel blog. To quote Dave:

“Over time, I have become known as a down-to-earth expert in two completely unrelated travel niches. The first is bicycle touring, and the second is Athens and Greece. I certainly never started out with that in mind – It’s funny how life works out!”

The site still allows Dave to write about other places while being an expert in cycling and Greece.

Another example is another Dave. What’s Dave Doing started out life as a general RTW travel blog, and over time Dave started doing more long distance walking. Pretty soon that became a central them of the site, so the semi-theme of this site is hiking, with room to write about anything else to do with travel.

Quasi-niche sites work well if you are based in a city and travel a lot. rice / potato are a travel and lifestyle blog based in Bangkok. They have an extensive archive of in-depth articles about Bangkok beyond the usual known tourist hotspots. They have enough content to make it a stand alone Bangkok guide, but as a quasi niche-site they get to blog about other destinations they visit in Asia. Their tagline sums it up: “An Urban Travel Guide to Bangkok and Beyond”.

The Island Drum is also a quasi-destination guide. Vanessa is based in Langkawi and travels extensively around Southeast Asia. The Island Drum features lots of information about Langkawi, and has a roundup of weekly events. Instead of being boxed in as just a Langkawi guide, this blog has the flexibility of writing about other places while still being seen as an expert on Langkawi.

To go quasi-niche or full niche site?

A quasi-niche is good as it gives you the flexibility to blog about other things, and you might find that you don’t have enough content to write a full site about a specific niche.

If there is enough to write about then it would make sense to create a new blog specifically for the niche subject. Dave from Go Backpacking found himself enamoured with Medellín, to the point where he moved there and started Medellin Living.

In this case it made more sense to make a new site and keep the general travel blog. Dave has since left Medellin but he is able to maintain the site with on-the-ground writers.

In defence of the general travel blog

Read most guides on how to start a travel blog and you will read the mantra to “pick a niche”. By writing about a defined topic you will get a more readers compared to just being a blog about anything.

As a publisher with several niche websites (including this one) I agree with this principal, but sometimes it makes sense to have a general blog without a niche. So what is the case for keeping a general travel blog?

When you don’t know what your niche is

This could also be called “because you don’t know what you want to be when you grow up”.

It’s one thing to say “start a niche site”, but what if you don’t know what your niche is? For some bloggers that’s not an issue. Some people are lucky and know exactly what angle they want to cover in travel. If you know, then yes jump straight in and start niche blogging.

Many internet marketers start new sites on the strength of keywords and expected sales commission, without any previous knowledge of the niche. A famous example was Part Flynn starting a food truck niche site. He picked this specifically as public case study to show how you can grow a niche site without any prior knowledge.

For most people though, starting a blog you either know nothing about or aren’t passionate about isn’t an option. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start a blog though. Sometimes the only way to find your way is on your way.

It took me years to work out what I wanted to do with my life, let alone what I wanted to blog about. What I did know was that I wanted to travel the world while figuring out what I wanted to do with my life.

I started out writing about general travel at Nomadic Notes, and then it became more nomad focused. Then I started writing more about the business of travel blogging, so I set up this niche site. And then in my travels around Asia I started writing more about transport and infrastructure issues, so I set up another site about transport and construction in Asia.

Start a blog and work it out as you go

By starting a general travel blog you are learning about publishing and promotion, and most crucially you will start writing. Maybe you need to travel for a while to discover what your passion is.

Jub from Tiki Touring Kiwi started out as a general travel blog. It wasn’t until he was a couple of years into his blog that he realised that he should be blogging about sport and travel. By the time he came to that realisation he already had an established blog with the skills to run a website. If he had waited until he had a niche to write about, who knows how long he would have waited to start his site.

If you wait until you know what you want to write about you might still be waiting.

You’re not looking to make a business out of it

There is a lot of noise online where bloggers are selling the dream of becoming a full-time travel blogger. Believe it or not, not everyone wants to “make money travel blogging”.

It’s certainly an enticing dream, being paid to travel the world. Making websites and blogging has been part of my life since going full-time in 2003. I started this site to help people start a travel blog.

In my travels though I’ve met plenty of people who have no desire to make a business out of a blog. They have good jobs and would rather travel and occasionally write. In this case, a general travel blog is the best option.

Using niche sites to fund general travel blogs

Some niche sites are better off being purely informational without the need of having personal narrative or editorial attached. A niche site that makes money can then fund your travels and let you write unconstrained on a personal blog. Having a non-commercial blog under your own name can then be about general travel, or any other topic you feel like.

The world still needs story tellers

Finally, the world still needs good story tellers. With the rush to nichify and commoditize travel blogs, the art of telling travel stories is being lost. Travel blogs have been turned into travel guides, and the content is being turned into keyword-rich articles.

Even if you are running a niche travel site, it’s still good to keep a general travel blog to keep the creative writing juices flowing. There is a way to combine personal narrative with travel guide writing, and that is by running a quasi-niche blog.
