Clixsense and blogging questions

Hi everyone, I havent been on here for a while but a recent change in life direction/ambition has made me return 
Basically I want to quit my job and go travelling and hopefully manage to earn enough cash online whilst on the road to subsidise the travelling costs. So I have a few questions...
Clixsense - I used to use this maybe 12 months ago and it was pretty good, now when I visit after the adverts and the clixgrid I go to the Tasks and there are none! There are some listed as potential jobs but I cannot access them. Also the offers always used to have maybe 8-10 at once, now there are just 2. When I do surveys sometimes I answer questions for about 5 minutes and then it just says I dont qualify when I have basically answered maybe 25 questions and so I dont get paid! So annoying! I guess my question is 2 fold...first of all....Has clixsense died? Secondly...Are there any other sites people would recommend for this kind of thing, I was never a massive fan of clixsense purely because the surveys felt like a con for the reasons I stated above (I would maybe get paid for 1/25). So is there anywhere else I can try that will allow me to earn a few extra pounds?
Blogging - I am wanting to start a blog or 2. I have heard Bluehost is a good place to go, does anyone have experience with this? Also if anyone can give advice on starting a blog I would massively appreciate it. I know alot of people can make a bit of money from blogging.
Finally, if anyone else knows of ways I can make money from home (I do have a day job) to allow me to boost my income before I go travelling and maybe even something that I can do while on the road if Im on a coach or train with WiFi to allow me to keep a bit of money trickling in, that would be great.
Thanks all

I don't think Clixsense has died. As with all sites like that, sometimes there will be more offers than others and sometimes you'll qualify for surveys, sometimes you won't.
For other sites just have a read through this forum.
With blogging it takes time to build up traffic and get money. There are numerous places you can host a blog, including free platforms (e.g. blogger). With blogging you need to make sure you're blogging about something you're really interested in otherwise you'll find it hard to motivate yourself to write, especially as you are unlikely to be seeing any money from it to start with.
You also need to very carefully read about Adsense and make sure not to break any of their rules. Adsense is the easiest and best option for getting money from blogging.
With blogging make sure all images and content are your own or are used with permission otherwise you could end up with a bigger problem than trying to make a few quid.0
