$5000/Month From His Travel Sites

🏝️ Sean Lau is the travel blogger behind these sites…

• LivingOutLau
• The Turkey Traveler
• Travel Thailand Together

In a recent interview he reveals…

The sites earn about $5k a month through a mix of affiliates, sponsorships, and advertising.

It took about 4 years for me to achieve this level, but since then, I’ve had 5-figure months as well.

Sean started out as a travel blogger because…

I thought, “Hey, who wouldn’t want free stays and some extra bucks while doing what they love—traveling?” Turns out, I was clueless about how to make that happen.

😩 And so he struggled at first…

My first attempts at blogging were about as successful as a penguin trying to fly. But then fate introduced me to some successful travel bloggers in a random small town in Guatemala.

After soaking up their knowledge like a sponge and applying some of the strategies, my blog began to gain traction and started taking off, and eventually reached Mediavine.

(Mediavine = a premium display ads network)

Since then, it has allowed me to travel full-time and share my travel experiences as I continue to explore the world!

So things changed for Sean once he met and hung out with people who’d already achieved the success he was aiming for.

I’d highly recommend trying that yourself 👍

If you can’t do it in person, do it online. Build real relationships with those people, get on calls with them, maybe form a mastermind.

After Sean started seeing success with his first site…

Then came along The Turkey Traveler and Travel Thailand Together, my joint ventures with my business partner. We absolutely adored these two countries, and we wanted to help others fall in love with them, too.

📈 In terms of growing the sites…

I’d have to say it’s SEO. It’s simply the best way to drive organic traffic to my sites. But there’s more to just SEO for getting organic traffic.

How Sean thinks about failure…

My most significant accomplishment as an entrepreneur has been redefining my relationship with failure. It’s no longer a dead-end or a sign of defeat for me. Instead, I see it as a stepping stone towards success.
