How To Get Paid Every Time AI Uses Your Content 😲
|
Hey there, how's it going? Today, I want to talk about how you can stop AI stealing from you! Back in the day, search engines like Google would just crawl your site to help people find you in search results. They Googled something, your site came up, and they read your content Simple enough, right? But now, with AI everywhere, things have changed. Many companies are utilizing something called AI crawlers — these are automated bots that scan websites and quietly collect vast amounts of data, including your blog posts, articles, images, and more. That means your precious content … is all getting grabbed without you even knowing. Here’s the frustrating part: AI can now use your content to generate answers, without linking back to your site. That means no credit. No traffic. No revenue.😲 You're doing the work… and someone (or something) else is benefiting. However, I've recently discovered a solution!
Cloudflare has begun blocking AI crawlers from looking at website content. Now, they can only do so if the site owner consents or if the AI company pays for it. But wait, …. What is Cloudflare? Well, Travelpayouts just released a new guide that explains everything about Cloudflare in simple terms — including how travel bloggers can start earning money when AI companies use their content. And if you haven’t heard of Travelpayouts yet, it’s much more than just an affiliate platform. It’s a dynamic learning hub for travel creators, offering actionable resources to help you grow your blog, boost your income, and stay ahead of the curve in a fast-changing online world. With expert insights, step-by-step tutorials, and smart tools, they’re constantly creating content that truly supports and empowers the travel blogging community. Cloudflare is a web infrastructure and security company that helps websites:
Here's a simple breakdown of what Cloudflare does: 1. Speeds Up Your WebsiteCloudflare has a global network of servers, known as a Content Delivery Network (CDN). When someone visits your website, Cloudflare sends them the information from the server closest to their location. This makes your site load significantly faster. Let’s say your website server is in the USA, and someone trying to visit your site is in Malaysia. Your website data has to travel a long way, which makes your site slow. Cloudflare helps by loading your website data from a server closer to you. This makes your content load faster. 2. Protects Your Website Cloudflare acts like a shield between your site and the internet. It protects you from:
3. Improves ReliabilityIf your main website server goes down, Cloudflare can often keep a cached version of your site live, so users don’t see an error page. 4. Security FeaturesIt also offers:
Bonus: You Can Use It to Block AI BotsCloudflare lets you create custom rules to block certain bots — including AI crawlers that might be scraping your content without permission. The best part? It's free!If you want to learn more about how it works and how Cloudflare can help you get paid every time AI uses your content, Travelpayouts has created a guide just for you! It's also super easy to set up, with no complicated coding or processes. Go give it a try, you have nothing to lose :) That’s all from me today.

You know the type. The person who slides into your DMs with “Can I pick your brain real quick?” … and suddenly you’ve written them a full consultation — for free. It happens to every business owner and blogger at some point. And while generosity is part of who we are, here’s the truth: you can’t build a sustainable business if you give away all your time and expertise, all the time.
