Travel Bloggers – Earn More with Journey Ads by Mediavine!
Since September 2024, I’ve been using Journey Ads, and despite having only ~40% Tier 1 traffic and mostly Africa content, I’ve been getting high RPMs—way better than I expected! 🚀
Now, you don’t even need 10,000 sessions to apply! Journey Ads connects you with premium brands that pay top dollar, without slowing down your site with junky ads. That means higher earnings with less clutter—even if most of your traffic isn’t from Tier 1 countries.
You work hard to grow your blog—let Journey Ads monetize smarter while you focus on creating, traveling, and living your dream.
