Monetizing a Travel Blog

[Petergk]

Hello, I am starting a very niche travel blog and I have a couple of questions about monetization.

Do you think it would be a good idea to build one on these automated booking services on the main page and have a "blog" section or to have the blog on the main page and also have one of these as a page in the header menu? I am talking about hotel booking, airfare bookings, car hires, etc.

I will have affiliate, activities affiliate, etc on the articles but I have read that these types of services pay well even without booking.

What do you think

Any help appreciated

Which automated service is this?

Have a look at TravelPayouts. They offer a variety of very convenient widgets, which can come in very handy, especially for newcomers!

I am talking about the booking services that are connected to travel blogs and compare prices on different websites. I see many people, for example on Fiverr offering services to built such websites.

I am aware of them and will sign-up after I lunch the website but first I want to make sure to build it correctly, So I don't know how to go about doing it.

Don't think making a dedicated page for this is a good practice as it will never rank for being a duplicate.
The widget way + ads is a good approach.
