This weekend I finally had the chance to purchase and study Nomadic Matt’s Make Money With Your Travel Blog.
The information in this guide is not limited to travel blogs. The SEO section alone which covers keywords, link building, Google page ranking and Article Marketing is worth gold and can benefit any blogger.
How Many Sites Should I Have?
This is one of the questions I’ve been struggling with for a while. According to Matt: Have one flagship blog that you use to share information with other like minded bloggers and to establish a brand and a community and at least 2 static sites to monetize by selling ads. He even reveals the name of one of his static sites in the guide.
Reading Matt’s book also confirmed what I realized several months ago: It’s much easier to monetize a static site than a blog and it takes a lot less work. I sure wish I’d have the benefit of Matt’s guide a year ago when I started blogging.
More Valuable Tips
To make money online it is important to consider SEO from the very beginning. After you’ve been blogging for while, it becomes very time consuming and complex to make a blog SEO friendly.
For beginning bloggers, Matt includes a bonus guide on setting up a brand new blog which includes information on WordPress settings, plugins, CSS, PHP and HTML.
Make Money With Your Travel Blog will definitely save you time and money. Some of the information in this guide I have slowly figured out over several months of blogging and taking courses but it’s still useful to have this valuable content neatly explained and summarized in one single 38 page document.
One thing I love about this guide is the fact that it gives just enough actionable steps to get up and running, without overwhelming the reader with too much information. I highly recommend it.
