Nice one. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. New subscriber here. All the best! 😁👌

This was super useful. I'm slowly building a youtube channel, but, also want to branch out with a blog. This video inspired me to finally buy my domain and start my website, which I've been dragging my feet on. Thanks for the discount code! I bought a 2-year subscription, and am pretty impressed with the site-building tools!

Interesting video Jord! What are your thoughts on competition in the travel niche? I know you have some authority, but what if you would start from scratch without any RU-vid channel behind it?

Thanks for sharing, really came at the right time for me personally! Great to get stuck into over easter weekend!

you still alive, congratss🎊🎊

Awesome stuff and points that you made! I'm just about to get monetized on RU-vid and as my channel grows I have been toying with the idea of building a website - I think the detailed itineraries that I make and store in my minder could really come in handy for viewers along with a story from each trip. Thanks a lot for sharing your story and keep up the good work!

How does external ad monetization trend forward when an increasing number of people have ad blocker by default in their browser? I do not see any ads on your site with a standard Opera browser. Same with RU-vid where I use Premium.

Does your blog get most of its traffic from google? what percent of those blog views are from youtube referral?

Maybe there's a more intimate travel insight with the blog since RU-vid has a TON of travel videos (especially a lot of silly fast paced ones) that blog posts can balance out with greater depth. TikTok alone beckons for a shift back to greater blog culture. Narratives and politics infected extreme bias into most of mainstream journalism too, blogs can be the sanctuary of letting readers form their own opinions again.

Well for the website you need to follow SEO rules in order to be seen so it has its own algorithm !

Hostinger's website templates are a game changer ! I myself am a Wordpress girl, through and through, but my viewers loved the one page templates and set up with the builder there... Great job, and amazing valid points. Glad to see you're still doing RU-vid... Funnily enough, was searching for something in my emails and found an email I sent my dad in 2019 that you made about Bucharest LOL so now I'm subbed, won't lose your channel anymore !

I have years of travel photos in my archive but otherwise I am starting my travel blog from scratch. Is it even worth starting social media handles or could I make a business only focusing on the website? And how do you approach the balance between over sharing your personal life with your travel videos? For example, to have a camera out constantly every time I do anything while traveling feels too much... i guess that's just the way of the business?

Hello, can you order?

Been following you since you were travelling/living in Indonesia! Would love to be able to travel like you some day.

Interesting to hear some views with this. The newsletter has seen a massive resurgence in recent years hey

I wish to run a blog too but I'm broke, I don't have money to pay for hosting and domain name. Where can I get it free?

I think this video is just a sponsor video for hostinger😂 that’s how you make the $$$’s.

interesting....

Hello ❤❤❤

clickbait? why differentiate the two of them? you need to have both of them. it's not even a question if you should have just one and not both

It is interesting whilst you (& others) took a break from RU-vid during covid and went into bitcoins Dale Philip came from nowhere to 2M subscribers over the same time.

Who’s buying a website for $10k, that makes $10 a day, which they’d need to spend time on each day making/updating content. Who are these buyers? Please interview some.

I John 2:15-17: 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
