How much can I ask $$ for a guest post with sponsor in my website?

    So far my website has 0 advertising, 0 affiliate links, 0 everything. We tried the tactic of the donation, which proved to be a complete flop, a total of 20 € received in almost two years. So it is perhaps time to change (unfortunately) strategy. I received several e-mails asking me to put advertising on our site, but until now we ignored them. I'm still quite reluctant to advertising in general, while I might think about a sponsored link within an article. Considering that at the time my site is quite small, PR1 and has about 10,000 page views per month, but we are slow but steadily increasing, and is a travel blog, so in the tourism industry, how much can I ask for a blog post to be published in my site? Because one of the last e-mail I received is from a guy who works for a British site similar to skyskanner, which seems quite popular (Page Rank 5) and asked me how much I would like to receive for him to publish an article on a destination, with links to their engine search for flights, hotels, offers etc.
    A general idea by the "professionals" of the industry? € 20? € 50? € 100? I's intended like a one time payment not based on visits or clicks.

    Try anywhere between 50 -100. That link that you'll provide may translate into big money for that person and they know it. That's why they contacted you. They've been doing their homework, so don't sell your site short.

    You can even work out an agreement where they'll pay you on a monthly basis to post. Good luck.

    use services like postjoint, they allow you to charge for posts to potential advertisers. You can ask from $5 to $500 if i remember well or something like that not 100% sure, just go over their website to check. Also use myblogguest, as soon as you start building relationships you will find paid advertisers and you can charge some money. All the best

    Use services like blogads.com, offer advertising.
    Use straight up advertised posts about things, people are well aware you're entitled to make a living.

    I did something similar on one of my sites and got paid $120 for it.

    I think $50 - $150 is around the money for it.

    I asked 80$ for one year and he accepted. So maybe next time I should try to rise the request

    i got $250 from wix.com last month for 30 days. If you have a nice site, try to send them an email to see if they are still working on media buying.
