hey guys let me ask you a question do you enjoy traveling is this something you'll want to get
paid to do if so just give me a couple of minutes because i'm about to open up your mind on how you
can build a whole entire business doing this and get paid to travel whenever you want you ready
let's go alright so unless you've been living under a rock you'd know that we have been going
through a pandemic now it looks like things are finally getting to somewhat normalcy
as they have lifted the mass mandates in my area and the numbers are drastically declining
so i am hoping and praying that we have seen the worst of this
now some people are just now starting to travel again and some people never stopped whichever one
you are it doesn't even matter i just want you guys to know that you can make money traveling
for years and years to come and the way to do that is to start a travel blog now no you do not have
to be an excellent writer to start a travel blog because i'm one of the worst writers that i know
yet i still run a six figure blog all by myself because when it comes to blogging you write like
you talk you know it's very conversational this is something most people can do and i have a whole
step-by-step guide to help you get started in creating your blog now the first thing i recommend
you do is to do your research that's step one now that i'm telling you to start a travel blog
you want to know what other travel blogs are out there you know you're going to want to know what
social media platforms they're using what kind of articles they're writing you also want to just try
to understand how they're making money i want to talk about that in a second but you can do a quick
google search for travel bloggers just to get you started now step two is to decide on a niche
now this will help give you purpose and help you build a core audience so do you want
your blog to be about traveling solo to help other solo travelers or do you want to blog
about traveling with your family to show other families what they can do and where they can go
whatever it is just think about it and let that be the reason you're doing what you're doing because
the only way to make money blogging is by helping people step three is to create your website now i
have a whole step-by-step guide like i mentioned that i'm going to put in the description below so
you guys can click on that follow that along to get you started in creating your website
after you do that the next thing you need to do is figure out how in the world are you
going to get traffic to your website now this is part of the way that i've been able to make
six figures every year with my blog and it's by finding out what people are searching for on
google yes google this is important because everyone searches for everything on google
think about what pops up in the search results when you search for something
it's blog articles and because i have many of my blog articles showing up in the search results
this is how i'm constantly getting traffic to my website and because i'm constantly getting traffic
to my website i'm constantly making money now the trick is finding out what people are searching
for on google so you can answer their questions through your blog articles now there are a couple
of tools that you can use to do this but i want to show you a quick example in this video so say
for example i wanted to go to seattle now i need to be intentional about this in order to write my
trip off on my taxes and disclaimer i am not an accountant so definitely consult one about this
but my understanding is that anything that you spend for your business is a business expense
also known as a tax write-off and your blog is now your business but back to my example so say
i want to go to seattle so i use this tool called kw finder to see what i could possibly write about
when i go to seattle so let's go to the computer so i can show you how this looks
all right so here on kw you find i'm gonna put in things to do in seattle just to get me started
all right and i see that it's 51 out of 100 so this is going to be very hard to rank for on
google and 108 000 people search for this question every single month so this is telling me that i
should not write an article about this because it's going to be too hard to bring on the first
page of google for this question so what i like about this tool is that i can filter it by just
pressing kd now kd stands for keyword difficulty the easier the keyword that better for you
so anything 29 and under is going to be good for you so you can see that red is hard i don't want
to worry about anything hard anything orange so i want to stay in this green area right here
so i want to look at these questions right here and i see that this has a nice search
volume it's 1 000 and it's things to do in seattle at night and it's 23 23 is the keyword
difficulty so that's not bad at all so this would be something that i could write about
so if i write my article in a certain way i can get this to rank on google and i did a video
that shows you how i write my articles to rank on google so i'm going to put that in the description
below so after doing some research now i know what i could write about so i could plan a trip to
seattle and what i would do i would do different things at night and document it on my blog
now you want to think of this as a side hustle at first your full-time job is going to be funding
this for you and the idea is to get to the point where you will no longer need your full-time job
or it will at least just be an option if you want to work still so how are you going to make
money from this article the answer is affiliate marketing and affiliate marketing is how i make
the most money on my site and it's my absolute favorite way to make money now in a nutshell
affiliate marketing is when you refer a product or service to someone using a unique referral
link if they make a purchase using your referral link you would get a commission let me give you
an example now if i had a travel blog i would sign up for travel payouts because they are the
only travel focused partnership platform that has over a hundred affiliate programs like booking.com
trip advisor get your guy rentalcars.com and just a ton more so what i would do is sign up
for travel payouts and then i would go up to their programs once signed in and i would look
at the different programs that they have and just scrolling down i would try and see which
ones make sense for my article now i was doing a little research before this video and i saw that
get your guide would be a great opportunity for this now what get your guide is is basically it's
a platform used for booking tours excursions and other travel activities around the world
now this would be perfect for my article because if people are looking for things to do at night
i could use get your guide in my article for any tours or activities that they have available
so what i would do first is i would go to get your guide right now and i would just put it in seattle
to see if they have anything in there so i see that they have like underground walking tour and
some things that i can include in my article so say for example i included this walking tour my
article this is a cool thing to do at night so if they actually clicked on this book the tour
i will earn a commission for that and the chances of someone actually clicking on one of these tours
is very high because they are actually looking on google for what to do in seattle at night
so they all want something to do and if they see this they click on it make it to book a tour i
made commission so i go back to travel payouts go to details to get your guide and then i'd
read the affiliate program description and then i accept the terms and then i would join it and then
what i would do is go through the process and then get my unique referral link so i can use that link
every single time that i mention something from get your guy and side note here guys
travel payouts is the only affiliate platform that i know that actually gives you 25 just for signing
up so be sure to register with my link below so you guys can take advantage of this today
because i don't know how long they got to give this offer all right this is just one example i
could use to monetize my blog if i'm showing up high in the search results on google for
things to do in seattle at night i could show local places that and offer them to pay a monthly
fee to be in my article now i do that right now on my website and this one company pays me fifteen
hundred dollars a month just to be on my website because i have their targeted audience's attention
now it would take you some time to get to that point but it's just nice to know what your options
are and i also have this really good article just to show you different ways that you can use get
your guide for different affiliate opportunities so i'm gonna put that in the description below
because that's gonna be another helpful article for you just to figure out how you can monetize
get your guy in your travel blog now another way to use affiliate marketing is by using social
media so you could do a real or a tick tock video showing video footage of your trip to seattle
and you could leave the caption saying oh my gosh best trip ever and it only cost me 500 or whatever
and you can say i wrote about how i did it on my blog check the link in my bio now that
could lead them to another blog article you wrote breaking down your whole entire trip and the cost
so if they click on any of your affiliate links you gotta earn a commission from just writing
about your experience so before you book that trip i would see what affiliate programs travel payout
has just so i could use them so i could say oh i use cheapo air to book my flight i could use
booking.com agata or tripadvisor to book my hotel room my rental car i could use get your guides to
book any tours and excursions just honestly the list can go on and on so i recommend just taking
some time to look at the programs they have and seeing what you could write about and as your blog
grows you can put ads on your website to monetize it and make a nice passive income there as well
searching for keywords is the hard part but it's necessary and when you find the right keywords you
need to take advantage of that and write the very best article on the internet concerning that topic
so you can rank in the search results in the number one or number two spot so you want to try
and get the ones that are easy to rank for it's going to be hard to find but they are out there
and i have a video that i did to show you how i do my keyword research and this is how i've been able
to make over a hundred thousand page views every single month just from figuring out how to find
out what people are searching for on google so i'm gonna put that video in the description below
so you guys can check it out okay so did that all make sense are you guys ready to get started leave
a comment in the comment section below saying yep i'm going to blank and let it be the place that
you want to go to the most so i'll know that you actually stick around until the end of this video
mine would be hawaii alright thanks for watching guys and if you want to further understand
how i would build this into a six figure website check this video out here right
now and don't forget your 25 travel payouts all right thanks for watching guys have a great day
