Write. Travel. Get Paid for Both.
Make sure you're headed this way...
You’ve only got three choices…
… and depending which you choose, your blog either blossoms into a wildly profitable, scalable business – equipped with an army of writers, recurring passive income and the possibility of a six-figure buyout…
… or it sputters along like a near-dead VW bus along the frigid Icefields Parkway.
You’ve only got three choices… those are two of them.
But the third option kills it.

Keyword research is simple: use the Google Keyword Tool to see what people are searching for (e.g. “best beaches in Southeast Asia”) then create valuable content about it (e.g. “The 7 Best Beaches in Southeast Asia for Backpackers”).
See how easy that is?
The trick is to do keyword research before you start.
BUT don’t just write about topics you find in Google. Create wacky, off the wall articles like “The Ultimate Guide to Lederhosen” or “7 Nude Beaches in Australia That Don’t Allow Old People” to keep your existing readers entertained.
It’s a balance, really. Create content that is entertaining AND informative. It will get you new readers and help keep your existing ones.
(Note: For the nuts-and-bolts of keyword research, read Rand’s article.)
