Starter Course
Launch Your Travel Blog is our starter course that will help you set up and design your travel blog from the ground up.
With step-by-step video tutorials, you’ll watch over my shoulder as I create a website that is optimized for ranking well on search engines. And I’ll also show you the tricks and tips you’ll need to customize your website to match your style.
Is Launch Your Travel Blog right for you?
- Do you have a website set up yet?
- Is your website set up on WordPress (.org) and NOT on Wix, Blogger, Blogspot, or WordPress(.com)?
- Did you use the traditional WordPress(.org) editor as opposed to Elementor to design your websites?
- Did you use a theme that loads quickly like Kadence?
If you can answer NO to any of the following questions, Launch Your Travel Blog is for you!

Why Trust Us?
We get it. There are thousands of gurus claiming to have the secret sauce when it comes to blogging, SEO, affiliate marketing, and other marketing strategies. So why should you trust us?
Because we are YOU. From 2014 to 2019, I tried everything to monetize my blog. I took course after course and did what the experts told me to do. From Instagram to Pinterest and everything in between, we didn’t make a penny from my efforts.
But in mid-2019, everything changed. I learned everything I could about SEO, affiliate marketing, and email marketing; it took me six months to go from 3,000 monthly readers to well over 50,000 monthly readers.
And we have the social proof to back it up. Here are a few of our favorite interviews and podcast episodes we’ve been featured in:

Our Favorite Travel Blogging Resources
Searching for top-notch travel blogging tools? We’ve been in the blogging game for quite some time, so we’ve got the inside scoop on what hits the mark and what misses.
Best Travel Blogging Hosting Provider
Above all, you’ll want to self-host your blog. This means that YOU are in complete control of your site. Every aspect is under your direct oversight, from customizing the design to managing the content. It’s like being the captain of your own ship.
Self-hosting also means you’re not tied down to the limitations or rules of a free hosting platform, giving you the freedom to expand, monetize, and grow your blog exactly as you envision.
Here are our two recommended hosting providers for new bloggers:
- Lyrical Hosting (also use code SYTB for 10% discount)
- A2 Hosting
The #1 mistake I see new bloggers make is not self-hosting their site. We see a lot of new bloggers using platforms like WordPress.com, Blogger, or Wix. Unfortunately, these are NOT your best bet if you want to monetize your site. Believe me!
Best Blogging Courses & Coaching
Above all, you can’t go wrong with our #1 rated course and coaching package, Scale Your Travel Blog. It includes everything you could possibly need to get your blog started and monetized.
