When I first started travel blogging, I remember reading an article from a successful blogger titled, “How To Make Money as a Travel Blogger.”

I must have read it 50 times. I was in complete awe that it was even possible.

That article is what pushed me to start in the first place.

Most of the recommendations in it are outdated now, but there was one piece of advice she was absolutely firm on. She said it was non-negotiable if you wanted to blog long term, so I took it seriously from day one.

Fast forward to 2026, and she was right.

That one principle is what has helped me keep my blogging businesses stable, even through major algorithm updates.

The only problem is she really didn't explain how to do it, she just said it was important. So I had to figure that part out through a lot of trial and error.

If you want to hear what that principle was, I shared it in my free live training that I hosted yesterday.

The training is called, The Only Way To Start & Grow a Successful Blog in 2026

If you’ve felt like blogging has gotten harder, you’re not imagining it.

But as I explain in the training, the opportunity isn’t gone. And blogging definitely isn’t dead.

What has changed is how we need to build our blogs if we want long-term stability.

Inside the training, I walk you through:

• Why blogging feels less predictable than it used to
• What really changed behind the scenes
• A blogging framework that gives you long-term control
• How your blog and platforms should support your audience, not be the foundation of it
• How this leads to more consistent growth and income

At the end of the training, I also introduced Scale Your Blog 2.0.​

If you’ve been around for a while, you've probably heard me mention my flagship program, Scale Your Travel Blog, which has been on a waitlist since last July.

Scale Your Blog 2.0 is the updated version of that program, rebuilt around the framework I teach in this training and expanded beyond just travel blogging.

Inside Scale Your Blog 2.0, you'll learn how to..

• Choose a niche that has clear paths to income
• Build a newsletter and blog people genuinely want to read
• Turn emails into blog posts (and blog posts into emails)
• Grow your list through SEO, Pinterest, social, and more
• Monetize through affiliates, sponsorships, your own offers, ads, and more.

There are also 4 weeks of live implementation, monthly coaching, and ongoing support built in, so you’re not figuring this out alone.

Doors close next Monday (February 9th) because our live cohort starts on Tuesday, February 10th.

Once we close, enrollment won’t reopen again until later in the year.
