Ants beware…
Struggling to get your content out there?
If so… you’ve come to the right place.
Because no matter how fantastic your website may be, the sad fact is…
Great Travel Content – No Matter How Brilliant - Goes Unread Every Day!
Until someone reads it… finds value in it… and shares with others, your content exists in a black hole.
Therefore, instead of publishing content and “hoping” it goes viral, use the following 101 methods to get the word out about your travel blog.
Creating killer content doesn’t have to be hard.
In this action-packed interview, Geraldine DeRuiter from Everywhereist reveals how she continuously churns out fresh, interesting takes on everyday situations like cupcakes, restaurants and mean women in Lego stores.

Do you know Mike Richard?
He’s the guy behind Vagabondish.com, a travel blog which gets between 200K and 300K pageviews a month.
Mike and I have worked together on a number of projects, and he stopped by the Academy to answer some hard questions about building a successful travel blog.
In this 38 minute interview you’ll learn:

We’ve talked a LOT about products lately.
And rightfully so. Products separate hobby blogs from businesses.
It shows your readers you’re in it for the long haul… and lets you build long-lasting relationships with your readers and other influential travel bloggers.
But it’s not just products.

And if it doesn’t… ditch it.
So why pick on Lonely Planet? Why pick on the most popular guidebook on the market today? Wouldn’t writing for them help build your business?
Well… yes and no.
You read the last lesson, right?
If not, you should. Because we covered why travel bloggers should create their own products (if you want to make money, build relationships with your readers and afford your next plane ticket).
So if you haven’t already, read the last lesson before tackling this one.
Ready?
In this lesson, we’ll look at how to create your own travel product. It’s super easy to do and shouldn’t take more than a week.

And once you have the traffic, it’s time to monetize your blog.
But I must warn you: choosing the right mix of monetization techniques is more art than science.
While some monetization methods work great for everyone – creating your own products, for example – others (like public speaking gigs) are more of a personal preference.
So in this spirit, here are 7 smart ways to make money with your travel site:
