Good evening, thank you for sharing this video. Any observation on your website's metrics? We used stay22 last year and we had seen a huge dropdown in our pageviews from the pop-up window maybe, and an explosion in bounce rate from 1-3% to over 60%. Any advice etc?
Great comparison of WordPress and Squarespace! I’ve tried both, but I ended up using BlogHandy because it was super easy to add to my website, and it automatically fits my design. It’s been a simple and stress-free option for me.
What month was this ?
How do you get people to open and take action on emails? I delete most emails that I get!
Food for thought.... when trying to teach people how to make money through ads... Skip mediavine beyond a brief description. Anyone searching this sort of content won't have the viewership to use mediavine... not by a longshot. And by the time you get to that point, you'll be well aware.
@@wake118 I respectfully disagree, but thank you for your input.
Bhuddaverse.

Hi Laura. This was super useful. Do you have videos on how to get traffic from Flipbord and Msn?
Are you currently seeing success via SEO today? After the HCU... Everyone with content sites including myself have been hit hard..its really hard to predict..even my regular search results is void of blogs just a bunch if vague answers from big brands and businesses... How are you able to cut through that?
We done Swiss alps last august planned loads of hikes but was a heatwave of at least 34 degrees most days so took cable cars and trains and just took walks along tops
We are hoping to move out of canada soon. When looking at Tahiti we noticed to cost of living is similar to canada. My husband says i thought it would be expensive to live there. I said it is, thats just how insane canada has gotten. Its on par with Tahiti without the tropical paradise. Smell ya later Canada.
How easy is it to get to the summit without being a trained person?

Very helpful video. Thank you so much!

Hey thanks for this! Can you please make a video about how to organize the content in the menu? I see so many variations I got lost... I struggle to finalize especially as a new site with lower content volume. Tnx!!
@@ellileshem5408 hey, thanks for the comment! I'll certainly add that topic to my list of videos for the future 😊
Hello mam i like your content on your channel. Plss make a full video worpress theme customization with cadence theme or astra.
How long do you all think it took to get to your stopping point? We're headed in October and are trying to find info about this hike
@@tnyoldschool9417 mmm maybe like an hour.. but I can't really remember. Honestly, it's a super dangerous hike. I don't necessarily recommend it as there are tons that are just as epic and safer!
@MikeandLauraTravel I really appreciate your input. From what you're saying I will take is slow, with full hiking gear and prep....even then I will be smart and turn around At any irregularity or weather change . Thanks Y'all!
Is fb adds Instagram adds allowed in travel payout or in other travel affiliate.thanks
@@mangkenor5745 hey! No, I wouldn't do FB ads or IG ads. They typically violate most affiliate programs TOS
Some bloggers suggest paid adds .
This clarify my question why they are in one platform
Hey! I have been trying to get there at sunrise too but even the company you linked, Komodo Mas Tour, is saying that it has to be a specific tour with all of these extra places added that I don't care to see. Was this with Komodo Mas Tour?

Hello Laura, thanks a lot for this. I will definitely follow this path. One quick question, though, when you delete the original post, would you 301 redirect it to the new one? or you just 410 delete it? thanks a lot :)
@@Solonomadjourneys it totally depends if you have backlinks, any Pinterest pins, etc! If so, I would create a redirect 👌🏼

oh ,good
Still hard to believe humans caused genocide on these amazing creatures.
I have always had a strong desire to become a travel agent and I am passionate about both the planning aspect and the actual travel experiences. I am curious to know if it is possible to pursue both aspects of travel simultaneously. I genuinely wish I had a mentor to guide me through the initial stages of starting my own business, as I want to ensure its success. For the past two decades, I worked as a hospice nurse, but unfortunately, I am now facing health challenges that prevent me from continuing in that role. As a single mother and the sole provider for my family, this situation has caused significant financial difficulties. I am actively seeking a more stable source of income that offers remote work options or allows me to work flexibly, such as becoming a travel blogger or vlogger. This would enable me to manage my work around my personal commitments and health needs. Ideally, I would like to find a job that allows me to be my own boss or provides flexible working arrangements. I just get overwhelmed with where to really start even after watching videos such as this. Thank you for this video and all the information! It's very helpful although i can't help but to still feel a bit confused and overwhelmed. I think one of my biggest issues with really jumping in and getting going is any upfront cost that may be needed as funds are excruciatingly tight right now. That's my biggest hold up. I've actually tried to figure out how to blog, but they all seem to cost money and I'm not sure what's genuinely legit and what's just a scam. But I love planning especially when it comes to traveling and this is literally right down my ally! I definitely have to get some more vital things figured out though. Thanks so much again for doing this!! If anyone is reading this and want to say hello and perhaps even try and help each other out, please feel free to send me a DM on Instagram at 📸 XPLRHOLLY Would love to meet new people who also enjoy this type of stuff! Wishing all a lovely day!
I have always had a desire to travel, even before I realized it was a popular trend. I genuinely enjoy exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. However, as a single mother and the sole provider for my family, I must prioritize my responsibilities. Additionally, my health conditions require a job that offers a certain degree of flexibility and I've always thought that this would be a great option to look into. I have A LOT to learn still and I'd ideally like to travel with a partner. I think My biggest optical is the cost of beginning. Funds are very tight at the moment and I know this requires one to put money in into this before you can get money out of it. Or so I'm assuming (again, still learning). Thank you for this. I subscribed!
PS I've also always thought being a travel agent would be fun, too, and now that I'm having to come up with more creative ways to make an income due to not being able to contribute my main career as my health requires flexibility. Therefore self employment or work from home (or out of as I'm totally cool with traveling and could definitely do that) either under a company or self employment. Because I'm new, having a mentor of some sort would be amazing! Sometimes I've been so overwhelmed and get confused as to where to even begin. Kinda in that situation right now. Also that's awesome about the lady who does the wedding stuff!! Man. I've got to figure out how to get something of the sort going. It'd sure help keep a roof over our heads! 💚 Lots of great ideas! I just need more specifics. Bless you for these videos!
Great video!! Thank you for the helpful tips.
Of course! Thanks for the kind words 😊 much appreciated!

Hi! We are traveling to Tahiti and Moore in September. Is this at the Residence Legend Moorea-Maiao? We just booked a place there with the little cold Jacuzzi, Unit #30.
YES! it was :) You'll love it!!
@@MikeandLauraTravel Was it unit #30 that you were in?
@@calliechristine yes!
@@MikeandLauraTravel So cool!
Another great video guys, we're doing this in a couple of weeks so really glad to see your experience 🙂
ahh thank you so much for the kind words - you're going to love it!!!
How many hours did it take to ride a bike around island and what would you say around cooks bay how long bike ride is?
Oh goodness, I don't know if I remember the exact time. But I think perhaps 4-6 hours. It was A LOT. Cooks Bay is much easier - it's a small bay, that shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes to an hour.
If you have Travelpayouts and stay 22, where do you get your payout then? 😅
Some will come from Travelpayouts for the programs not included with Stay22 and the programs that are included with Stay22, you'll receive payment through S22!
Such great info. Thank you! I’ve been debating where to start. So I haven’t started because I want to start off right from the beginning. Would you say Wordpress is also good to sell physical items or would Squarespace be better for that? I want to start a blog but also eventually sell physical items.
Laura! You provide so much value. We are so ready to grow and this is helping us so much. Thanks!
Ahh yay! I'm so glad I've been helpful for you!!!! This made my day 😊
So far so good working with Stay22. Great support team as well.
Totally agree!! Yay, I'm glad it's going well for you, too! ☺️
@@MikeandLauraTravel :)
Awesome
Great news! Congrats! I'm not having luck with Stay22 YET! I'm working on it.
How much traffic are you getting to your website? And additionally, are you targeting keywords that lead to affiliate sales? Those two things are huge for growing affiliate conversions with any platform 🙂
why not become an affiliate for these accomodation platforms directly? Why is that we should use a middleman?
Hey! Did you watch the video? I explain this exact question thoroughly ☺️
Thanks for sharing the good word! Much love!
Absolutely! Happy to suggest it when we have seen such good results!
