This article is a “guest” article. Thibaut, who created the Hello Barcelona blog , suggested that I publish it here. It is therefore he who speaks and shares his experience directly. On the Internet there are different themes for earning money. Among the most classic, we find the field of tourism. The tourism industry is a very good way to make money on the internet . I launched the Bonjour Lisbonne site in 2014 to try to make a living through a tourism blog for French speakers in Lisbon. I have tried different means of monetization and I will reveal in this article which methods work best.
The blog is now so profitable for me that last year I launched Bonjour Porto and Bonjour Email Data Barcelona to apply these same means of monetization to the cities of Porto and Barcelona. I first tried several methods which did not prove to be profitable. I tried advertising in particular but I realized that unless you have a lot of traffic, it is not a profitable lever for travel blogs. The “one-shot” Business Model of the tourism blog Before talking about monetization, it is essential to understand the heart of the business model of a tourism blog. What many blogs do is capture emails on their site to build a contact base and thus have regular customers.
This is what Quentin does, for example, from the Merci Vegan blog that I have been following for several months and who has set up what we can call a premium group that he calls the “Vegan pass” on which he sends free content via email but also on which he talks about his paid training courses. This strategy is super effective in the field of nutrition, marketing or even cooking classes. In the field of tourism, it is essential to understand that the strategy is different so as not to waste several months like many beginners do. You can certainly capture emails to talk about your products and services, but the heart of the business model is based on your site and on.
