Michelle walked away from her travel blog for years—until a chance conversation convinced her to give it one more shot. Eighteen months later, she's consistently earning $2,000+ per month through ads and affiliate commissions, despite Google's algorithm updates that destroyed many travel sites. She shares how she finally learned SEO properly, which monetization methods work best for travel content, and why posting about the "why" behind travel (not just the "what") completely changed her traffic. Plus, hear about the time she paid $100 to see the Matterhorn and only saw a white blizzard.
