I did read tons of blog about overlanders on their worldtrip. To get some gear is that what you can get out of the sponsors. Because each year some people start their trip, asking for stuff - it dont gets easier i guess.

To write a Blog is more for yourself. Specially if you just start to write. Ask yourself how often you click on one of these banner ads - when you read a blog. Just if you click these banner (and watch the content) - the blog writer earn money.

One year ago i start with my Blog www.4x4tripping.com I`m happy that there are an growing amount of readers who like my content. I just use Google Adsence and have earned now arround 60 USD with these Banner Ads.

For my travelblog i have disabled the ads, because of not much return, while 93`000 views. I talked with severall travel bloggers about - they had the same experience. So blog for yourself, for document your trip, for have you can watch in some years, to share experience with other travellers.

I dont want to say that you can`t earn money this way, because i didnt earn it. I want to say that you had to create a blog with really unique content, high quality Pictures or Videos and travelodge. To write quality articles for newspapers in your homecountry, newspapers in the countrys you travel. To get media attention, get into the TV.

If you do that you start something like i would say a "new job", what dont match well to the "some time off" we traveller usually look at our trips.
