ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Let's talk about how to build an algorithm-proof travel blog in 2026!
From constant algorithm updates to massive changes to organic search to increasing AI advancements, the blogging landscape has changed dramatically—and will continue to change.
Nowadays, it's important to move beyond posting and waiting for search engines to like you, to treating our blogs like businesses by building an engaged community, serving our audience through aligned revenue streams, and increasing brand visibility across platforms.
I'll share exactly how to do all of this (and more!) in the below blogging roadmap!
The recommendations are based on doing a deep dive into my own blogging business across my three sites, as well as what I'm seeing in my creator student community and the broader creator economy.
Suggestions will be grouped into the following topics:
- Business Planning
- Content Creation
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Traffic & Visibility
- Blog Monetization
Additionally, I'll share tips and examples to help you implement this 2026 blogging roadmap for success faster and easier!
