Grow & Monetize A Travel Blog in the Age of AI with Nomadic Matt
Between constant algorithm updates and ChatGPT churning out content in seconds, how can travel bloggers actually grow and monetize? The truth is, it’s still possible to run a profitable blogging business, but the road to success looks much different than it did before AI became so prevalent.  In this episode, Matt Kepnes, founder of the popular budget travel site Nomadic Matt, breaks down how he’s adapting his content, visibility, and income strategy.  You'll learn:  ✔️ Whether he still optimizes for SEO and how he approaches “AI SEO” for tools like ChatGPT ✔️ What pivoting away from Google looks like and where he’s seeing the best results ✔️ How he’s building community in the age of AI ✔️ How his monetization strategy has shifted as traffic sources have changed ✔️ What he thinks the future of blogging looks like in the AI era ✔️ And more!
