SATW Indy: Blogging for bucks with ThePlanetD

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Thank you for having us today here at the SATW, We’re very excited to be talking to you about how to make money with your travel blog because it is an exciting time in the industry. and it is wonderful to see so many people out here willing to embrace the online world. \nIt can be very confusing when deciding to monetize your blog. A lot of people think it involves selling text links, or scrounging for banner ads, but there is so much more to it than that. \n\n
  2. We’ve had a lot of experience working with companies\nOver the past 3 years we have worked on building relationships with companies that we believe in and have established ourselves as one of the leaders in partnering with corporations and destinations to raise their profile both offline and on.\nWe’re currently working with such sponsors as Intrepid Travel, American Express and Expedia.com. \nWe have led social media campaigns, hosted twitter chats and created contests all where we make money. Companies use our influence to promote their product. \n\nvisit lanai, housetrip, in costa brava, visit catalunya\n
  3. Travel bloggers are travel influencers and it is by harnessing this influence and expertise that you will truly be able to make money with your blog. \nIt will take you at least a year before you can make any type of real money because you have to build your brand and gain the trust of your readers. \nExpertise, what is your target audience and what can you offer them? Are you a food and wine specialist, or a family travel expert. Think about what will keep them coming back to you blog each day and who will be reading your blog. \nThis will help you decide which companies are relevant to your brand and are a good fit. \nThese companies will be hiring you for your influence over your audience. If the company doesn’t fit yoru brand, you won’t have any influence. But you also have to take into account how informed yoru audience it. \nYou need to focus on building your audience, your credibility and influence before you can effectively begin to think about making big bucks when blogging. \n\n
  4. Travel has become more social. Social media has changed the way people search for travel, where they get information and how they make those purchase descions.\nPersonal recommendations carry more weight now than they ever did. Consiumers are searching within sm platforms in addition to Google and those numbers are on the rise.\nCompanies are hiring bloggers for their influence and whether you like it or not, your influences is in the social market. \nWe spend more time on social media than we do on our blog and pay attention to our facebook and twitter analytics than our google analytics. \nSo you need to have a FB Page you need to have a twitter account etf. If you don’t you are potentially throwing away a lucrative way of monetizing your blog and business.\nIt is how you interact and build your brand online that will lead you into success.\n\n
  5. Cornerstone of standing out from the rest of the pack and building a business id developing your personal brand. \nEvery successful travel blogger has a strong brand and a strong niche. \nYou have to think beyond travel writing, you will wear many hats. You are the marketer, the social media manager, the accountant and the photographer, so you have to keep that niche consistent in everything that you do. You have to become a business and build the branding. \nWhen you have a strong brand, you can target your audience and be clear as to who you are talking to. You can then align yourself with companies that fit your brand and your niche and easily influence your readers with what ot buy.\nBut you have to build trust and credibility first. \n\n\n
  6. So as we said, you can’t just go out and start making big money tomorrow. Like any business, you have to build your foundation and credibility before you can begin to start making money.\nSo let’s get into it, let’s look at the ways you can monetize your travel blog. \nWe are going to start with some traditional ways, some quick and easy ways to get you started that you can start implementing immediately, and then we are going to build on more creative ways to make money. and more lucrative ways to make money. \n
  7. The first would be affiliate sales. Amazon,commission junction, share a sale, skimlinks and google affiliates\nWhat is affiliate marketing. A company pays you a percentage or commission to sell their product. \nFirst you have to sign up at an affiliate company. Look for travel companies and products that you want to sell on your website. \nMostly this is done through banner ads. \nYou sign up and link your website and then you wait for their approval. \neg - Lonely Planet - When someone clicks on the banner and buys the product, you make a commission. \nWrite a well seod post about photography, put in links to smug and have people sign up. \nA post about a destination, make a link to a lonely planet or frommer guide. \n\n\n
  8. You or the company writes and article. \nMostly they are destination or top 10 pieces. \nPersonal choice, you dont’ have to \nBed and Breakfast in Ireland....link to the bnb\nDisclosure, brought to you by XYZ BnB\nYear, renewal\nFlat\n\n
  9. By no means should this be the only way that you could be making money. You need to diversify.\nCan be in a post - If you have an article all about Italy Food tour, a company like walks of Italy may want to buy a banner ad within that post. They know it is a highly search competitive market and this could be a great way for them to make sales. \n\nHave a rate sheet for each different ad. 125X125 300X250 120X600\n\nthose are the three very basic traditional ways that people have been making money in the past. But we want to point out that by no means should this be the only way to make money with your TB. You need to diversify. \n\n
  10. If you have a service or information that requires more than a blog post, Ebooks are great, you can build it yourself. You don’t have to wait for the publisher to approve it, you can publish it yourself and harness your social network to promote it. EJunkie, Click Bank, amazon\nIf you have more info that needs to go a step further, online course - Dave Go Backpacking\nAfter you take your course, follow up consulting to course or ebooks. \nAs you get more well known and develop a following, you could start your own online magazine. \nPeople ask their social network to review it for them and then they give the reviewer a code for an affiliate sale. \nUsing social networks - reviews, facebook shares and tweets, \nOffer affiliate sales for inscentive 50%\n 20something, artofbackpacking, \n\n\n
  11.
