Tips that will make you able to actually earn money while on travel:
Rent out your house or flat while away
Every time I go travel I rent out my apartment to travelers coming to my city. This is a great way to cover the travel expenses and sometimes I even earn more than I spend.
I've put my apartment on several websites that allows me to advertise my rooms and my flat for free. These sites take care of marketing, secure payment, and some even offer insurance!
A good place to start is to create a free account on Airbnb, Flipkey and Roomoroma (and if you're using my personal invitation link on my blog you'll get a $75 travel coupon as a start ;)

Collect travel vouchers
As member of different travel sites I can often collect travel vouchers to use for my next holidays, and by collecting them over time I can travel for free. Sometimes I even get vouchers to give away to others.
Airbnb allows members to invite friends and give them free travel vouchers. Get a 25$ voucher here
As a member of Flipkey I sometimes get $50 travel vouchers
WIMDU gives travel credits for writing and getting reviews, inviting friends, etc
