Blogging. One of the ways we make money to travel full-time. Blogging tips and updates from World Travel Family travel blog, perfect for travel bloggers but the same principles apply for all blogs.
Before the pandemic, I was a 6 figure blogger. That works out at a little over $8,000 earned through the blog per month. That figure really is quite achievable and as travel starts getting back to normal, we will hit 6 figures per year once more.
Blogging has changed a lot in recent years. It's complex and to get to the top you will need to become a super-geek.
You need to understand how the internet, Google, and social media work.
I used to say that once you had the basic skills in blogging you could pretty much print your own money. In 2022 it's harder, much harder. But it's achievable.
