Monetization of travel blog. Any ideas?

[eagleye101]

Hi,

I have a travel blog about Greece which was created somehow by mistake.

Let me explain.

Back in 2015, I wrote (actually outsourced) a travel Kindle book about Greece since the country receives millions of tourists each year. The book itself was not really a success but one of the ideas I had to promote this book, was to create a Facebook Group.

Somehow disappointed for the little book sales, I didn't pay much attention to the group but I noticed that people were joining.

Looking for domains, in 2018, I bid for a very strong domain about traveling in Greece (SEO-wise) and actually won it. My immediate reaction was to create a website and sell it and include the group as a bonus.

For reasons that are out of the scope of this conversation, I didn't sell it (even if I was offered up to $3000) and I decided to improve the website and maybe sell it later in a higher price.

Right now, the website is growing almost on autopilot (I outsource some articles and there are others writing guest posts for backlinks). Instagram is going crazy, Facebook not so much, yet it has some activities.

The thing is that I don't have too much experience with travel blogs. I show google ads but the earnings are almost zero.

Any ideas on how to monetize a travel blog?
Here's the website: Welcome - Visit Greece

Thank you
