Get paid to travel

Turning travel into a side business.

I started MadTravels in late 2024 with no website, no audience and no idea how any of it worked. Here’s the course that taught me, my honest review of it, and how I run the whole blog on about 5 hours a week now.

Scale Your Travel Blog

The short version

What it is

Laura Peters’ course for travel bloggers: 12 modules plus 10+ bonus lessons, from setting up a site to SEO, Pinterest, affiliates, email and sponsorships.

What it costs

$797 for the course on its own, or $2,997 with coaching. Both have payment plans.

My verdict

Worth it. I took the coaching version and would buy it again.

Best for

Beginners with no site yet, and bloggers who are ready to scale.

Curious about travel blogging?

I run this whole blog on about 5 hours a week

Keyword research, edits, pins and publishing: most of MadTravels runs on automations I built. Saturday Systems is where I share them, so you can spend your time on the trips instead of the busywork.
