In this episode, I’m sharing some exciting news—I got my second site, Southern Crush on the Road, accepted into Journey by Mediavine! This travel blog started as a passion project after spinning off a section of my crafting blog into a niche site. Even though travel blogs seem to be a tough niche right now, sometimes going against the grain pays off.

Tune in as I walk you through my journey, from repurposing content to launching my new site, committing to one post per week, and eventually getting accepted into Journey with Mediavine, even though I didn’t hit the traffic minimum. I’ll also share why adding the Grow plugin was a key step, what you can expect when starting out with low RPMs, and how your first earnings, no matter how small, are worth celebrating.

Key Takeaways:

  • How I spun off my crafting blog content into a separate niche travel blog
  • The importance of the Grow plugin for Mediavine’s Journey program
  • Why quality content can get you accepted to Journey even if you don’t meet the traffic threshold
  • Early insights into RPMs and ad revenue with Journey by Mediavine
  • Tips for staying motivated with a new blog and planning for long-term success
