If I reflect on the the last 4 years of blogging and trace back tk tbe decision that took my blog from a hobby to a profession then it would buying the Superstar Blogging Course.
Travel Blogging isn’t easy! For a long time I struggled.. I was afraid of publishing anything, and no one was reading what I was publishing.
I didn’t know how to run a professional blog. At that time I didn’t even know what my goals were, or how to make my site stick out from the overcrowded blogosphere.
I was fumbling around in the dark in a very competitive industry.
I felt depressed. I was putting my heart and soul into sharing my stories, tips, and advice with other travelers and felt like no one was listening.
I couldn’t crack the blogging code. The harder I tried the more I failed. Nothing seemed to work for me.
Can any of you relate?
Becoming a professional traveler had been my dream from years and I wasn’t going to give up on it.
Luckily right when I was starting my site is when Nomadic Matt first released his blogging course. Can someone say fate!
Right away I bought, and haven’t looked back since.
I leaped at this chance to learn lessons from the top travel blogger. It was the single the best decision I could have made as a new/struggling blogger
This course helped me make that dream a reality, and completely changed the course of my life! .
And Superstar Blogging is launching again TODAY!
This course showed me how to sidestep many mistakes people starting out make.
I learned where I needed to focus my time and energy. I learned the value of growing my audience, developing stellar content, and how to accomplish both.
Now, I know some of you are still doubting, or asking yourself ” Is this course worth the money.”
Let me and breakdown what the course covers, and how it changed my blog forever!
For me this course was invaluable. I am amazed about how many messages I get from people expressing their dreams of running a succulent travel blog.
I am even more amazed at how many people are unwilling to invest in that future by taking a course.
I am not ones of these people, and you shouldn’t be either. This course opened the door to let me build the life of my dreams and because of that, it is the best money I have spent online ever! (Outside of my first plane ticket to Italy where I feel that made me fall in love with travel)
So let’s talk about who Nomadic Matt is and do an complete breakdown of what Superstar Blogging offers.

Do you know what is the difference between Matt’s course and the Travel Blog Success course? Everyone seems crazy about the last one.
Any tips would be helpful!
Hey! I am glad you like the review. I have checked out TBS as well. It is a great program as well, but I would recommenced superstar blogging. I found it a lot more in depth and helpful. It really changed the way I approach blogging as a whole, and mindset of running a travel blog.
Hey Stephen (almost the same name!), thanks for your review! I have exactly the same question and I would ask you to go deeper. In few days TBS will have the fall sale and it’s time to decide. TBS or SB? Need your help!
What about the facebook group in the Nomadic Matt’s one? TBS members are saying that it’s one of the best point of the course.
Then, is the content updated (I mean, TBS was made 6 years ago for example. Some SEO stuff might not work anymore)?
Your answer will probably denfinitely influence me. So glad that I found this article!
Hey thanks for asking and sorry for the delay. So I find more detail, and better webinars are in Matt’s course. Matt’s Course is a lot newer as well. This also means the FB group is a lot newer. So while it is not as active as TBS FB. Which is fantastic. Matt group is picking up steam. Overall I would suggest Matt’s course ( http://bit.ly/2cxey4t) but if you are sold on TBS it is also a great course. The fall sale is going on here http://bit.ly/2duC3xd
Hope that helps.
