Monetize your travel blog and never return home

Chances are, if you're reading Gadling.com right now then you've probably once thought about abandoning your current office job, hitting the road and never returning home. Maybe you've even set up your own personal travel blog that has earned a few hits and gotten rave reviews from a few dedicated readers (thanks mom!).

Could you actually make the jump into a profitable, commercial blog though? Could you generate enough creative, interesting content to get enough people to return, browse around and click on some ads? Maybe. But where to start?

Nomadic Matt, the serial traveler/entrepreneur/twitterer has put together an e-book on the topic. As the owner of the (profitable) nomadicamatt.com, he's got all sorts of experience in e-marketing, optimizing his site for hits and revenue and working the system to make money off of his blog -- so he's compiled all of the information into this book.

If you're new to the industry and technology it's probably worth a read. You can buy a digital copy of the book at Nomadicmatt.com, the site from which he claims to earn $3,000 a month with these tactics
