Testimonials From TBMS 2017
Success Stories
-
Last year’s summit helped me strongly define my blog brand which in turn led to my being approached by a media company offering me both expense paid, and actual payment for reviewing properties and training their team members. Matt Gibson’s talk and templates were invaluable for helping me understand how to price and negotiate these services.
-
Learning how to improve my affiliate marketing has already resulted in an increase in revenue which has paid back the price of joining the summit, many times over! After performing a stocktake on old content that I updated using tips from the SEO talks, I was thrilled to see many key posts shoot to #1 on google and a corresponding increase in traffic.
-
Scott Eddy’s talk gave us the much needed push to really pursue monetizing our blog. We’ve seen some great results even though we only blog part time. Although we were brand new to blogging in 2016, the SEO talks have seen us grow domain authority from zero to 23, and we’ve also seen a consistent traffic increase over time from targeting specific keywords.The pitching course and campaigns module helped us save over $1,000 on our big trip last year, as well as building our experience working with brands. Across the board, speakers shared their strategies with full transparency which gave us a real insider view of an industry we were only just starting out in.
-
I joined the 2017 summit and have gone from 40 email subscribers ever, to 170 since commencing the email marketing module just 3 weeks ago.There is so much practical information in this summit that I now have a massive list of over 40 tasks that I am going to implement.I have learned so much. Its incredible! How to write better headlines, how to market my content, how to use affiliate links, how to engage with brands, setting up an email funnel and email sequences – and it goes on and on!

Testimonials
Geert Leysen, Inspiring Travellers
A lot of travel bloggers go to TBEX for learning how to monetize their blog, I can honestly say that the Travel Blog Summit offers a lot more insights and practical advice for your buck.
Marie-France Roy, Big Travel Nut
I got more information regarding blog-related monetization techniques in the Travel Blog Monetization Course than in any other course or conference I've invested in over the last 3 years. It's definitely the best value for money. You can do it all in the comfort of your home, and then go over the materials as many times as you want!
Andrea Whitaker, Andi on Adventure
As a beginning blogger, I found this summit to be incredibly beneficial. I had been struggling trying learn all of the monetizing aspects and was feeling totally lost. I didn't know what I didn't know...and that was a lot! This summit really helped me focus and gave me hope that it's possible to turn my blog into a business. Thank you!!
Carlie Galloway, A Cajun In Cali
Within minutes of starting the first video I was blown away by the content! I cannot say enough about the value of this course and would pay double what I paid just to get this much-needed education! A huge thanks to Tom & Megs for sharing their knowledge and time!
Kerri McConnel, Beers & Croissants
I am literally up to my eyeballs in notes, actions, things to think about. Best course I've ever been on and I'm only on module 2. Well done
Elizabeth (Liz) Smith, Peanuts or Pretzels
Travel Blog Summit has been by far the most useful travel blogging / digital nomad course that we have attended. It's well organized, fabulously thought out, professional, and full of useful and practical information
Josh Bender (2016 Speaker), Travel With Bender
The content covered in Travel Blog Monetization Summit by real-life expert travel bloggers is priceless. I wish I had access to all this when I started my travel blogging career. It will help beginners leapfrog their competition, and experienced bloggers are sure to find golden nuggets that will take their businesses to the next level
Gemma Hilton-Tapp
The thing I love and respect about you both (Tommo & Megsy), is that you provide so much actionable information. Most other courses give broad tips, but you go the extra mile to provide clear examples, lots of detail and most importantly, actionable steps that we can take to achieve that goal. Very few other courses I've taken do that to the same level and quality that yours does!
I think that if someone buys only one course during their blogging career, it should be this one

Thomas Levine, Travel Food Health
This summit has changed my thinking and business plan. It has been the single most valuable thing I have done to make my blog work. From using the SEO section I have been watching my traffic go up day by day when before I completely failed in that category.
Richelle Gamlam , Adventures Around Asia
Compared to other courses like Travel Blog Success and talks at TBEX, I’ve found this course to be way more value for the money you spend. Since attending Travel Blog Summit I’ve noticed an increase in affiliate sales and I got invited on my first press trip!
Lindsay Niemenen, Carpe Diem Our Way
This [2016] summit was a GOLDMINE of information from bloggers who are out there DOING IT! Speakers are not hypothetical, they are open, honest and sharing their successes!
Sarah Hughes, Live Dream Discover
Just finished listening to your [Goats On The Road] Summit talk with the awesome Megsy and Tommo hosting, and had to tell you how much I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your insights and tips so freely. I am inspired and excited to grow my own affiliate sales! I've been blogging for 2 years and have decided this is the year I get serious and really start monetizing!
FAQ's |
When is the summit happening?
The summit runs 19th April to 16th May. Talks will be spread out over 4 weeks with content being released in batches that allows you to truly consume the content, and even start to implement the things you’ve learned, before moving onto the next group of talks. Discussion and Q&A for talks will take place in the private Facebook group as well as during scheduled Q&A webinars.
I don’t have a blog / audience. Will this summit / course work for me?
If you are new to blogging, it’s actually the ideal time to get blogger training. Having the opportunity to understand how to build a profitable blog from the ground up is going to save you sooooo much time in the long run. Get it right first time and you won’t have to spend months or more fixing past mistakes. Package 3 is the best option for newbies.
I already tried to monetize, but it didn’t work.
This is why we enlisted top speakers for this summit and course – people who are making travel blog monetization work. The proven methods that you will learn are better than any free resources you’ll find online. Most new members start to see what they were doing wrong previously, and those who put the time in start to see results.
What if i change my mind after purchase, or the talks are not what I expect?
We are confident you will find value way beyond the ticket price. If you don’t feel you have, we’ll happily send you a 100% refund so long as you notify us within 30 days of purchase.
How long will the summit / course take to complete?
We estimate,
Summit 2017: 22 Hours
Monetization Course: 28 Hours
Start A blog Course: 3 Hours training + Implementation time (that’s down to you!)
Pitching Masterclass: 10 Hours
Compared to the amount of hours we put in to become successful bloggers, this is no time at all. We just didn’t have access to a step-by-step, actionable set of courses back when we started.
You get lifetime access, so take all the time you need to complete the training. But we recommend committing 5 hours per week to see rapid results.
How long are the training videos?
The main guest speaker talks are each 45 to 75 minutes.
How long will it take me to monetize my blog?
This depends on how much time you put in, how closely you follow the training material and how much traffic and audience you already have.
If you already have a solid audience then you could be making more money the second you implement changes.
But, as a newbie, do everything right and it’s actually possible to make money from the day you launch your first blog. However, that is a best case scenario and very rare for newbies.
If you make a concerted effort to follow the training, launch your blog and implement the monetization strategies then it is realistic to see some income within 6 months. Then grow from there.
This is not a get rich quick scheme, it’s a model for building a sustainable online business. Currently we are not aware of any travel blogger, whether from this course, or learning on their own, ever going from zero to full time income in less than 12 months. There is no such thing as overnight success – most who proclaim it, already had a lot of business experience before launching new ventures.
This sounds like a lot of content, I don't know if I have time to study it all?
The summit and courses are broken up into modules, each module into sections and each section into bitesize lessons. Mastering any topic takes time but breaking up the learning and being able to easily track your progress automatically with our software will give you the best chance of staying focused and succeeding.
Furthermore, if you already put many hours into your blog, but are not seeing financial results… Stop! Stop wasting time on methods that are not working. Put that time into learning what really works instead.
Can I upgrade to a higher package after purchase?
YES. Upgrade options are available from summit to monetization course to fast track. The price is roughly the difference between the two packages. But may vary if you purchased originally at a discounted rate.
