BE MORE THAN ANOTHER INFLUENCER
Hi! My name is Matthew Kepnes and I’ve been running the website Nomadic Matt since 2008. Like you, I didn’t know where to begin or have any technical skills when I started. I had no background in writing, technology, or marketing.
I just knew I liked to travel – and wanted to find a way to keep doing it.
Now, eleven years later, my website has become the top travel blog in the world, with over 1.3 million visitors per month, a 300,000-person email list, six employees, and seven-figure revenue. I also wrote a New York Times bestseller and even started a conference.
But I didn’t have any of this when I started.
I started at zero.
All I had was a dream.
So I know exactly where you are because I’ve been there too.
Everyone starts at zero.
But imagine being able to share your travel tips, set your own schedule, travel wherever and whenever you want, inspire others – and get paid to do it.
Imagine doing what you love and being the captain of your own ship.
You don’t need millions of followers or visitors from Google to do this.
All you need is a few dedicated fans.
I created this course because I firmly believe there is plenty of room for new, quality blogs. With billions of people on the Internet, there’s plenty of readers for all of us.
This course gives you everything I know about blogging. It will show you how to get those dedicated readers and turn your dream job into a reality.
It is your toolkit to success.
What Our Students Are Saying
“Superstar Blogging was the perfect course to learn the fundamentals of building a functioning blog. Before taking this course, things like coding and SEO terrified me! Now, I have hundreds of readers a month, after launching my site only two months ago! Thanks, Matt!” – Stacia, stumblesafari.com

“Though I’ve been blogging for 5+ years, I still found Matt’s course extremely beneficial. It helped me to rethink my strategy and come up with a more long-term and sustainable business model. Even as an established travel blogger, this course was useful because it helped to change my mindset and taught me advanced tactics I didn’t know. The information he shares is required to run a successful blog and business in today’s climate.” – Jeremy, travelfreak.net

“I’ve tried other create-your-online-business courses (one was even six times the price of Superstar Blogging) and they never worked. This course works because Matt has been through it firsthand and knows how the travel blogging business truly works. He doesn’t fluff things up to market to you and is honest on how much work it takes. AND he’s not lying when he says he’ll actually respond to emails!” – Trang, travelwithtrang.com

The Brutal Truth Why Most Bloggers Fail
Most bloggers fail because they give up.
They expect fame and wealth right away, and when it doesn’t happen, they blame “the system”, throw up their hands, and give up. They blame a lack of time or technical skills.
They say “I can’t” instead of “What can I do today that will make this website a little better than everyone else?”
I see it all the time.
People who have great ideas but lack the support system they need.
I know all about the mental game of blogging. I know how hard it can be to blog on your own and feel no one can understand you or offer you help.
Success is more than just finding information online. It’s about knowing how to put it together, having the right mindset, and knowing how to create a strategy.
When you sign up for this course, I’m going to give you personal advice and feedback throughout.
I’m going to be your mentor. I’m going to be here every step of the way to give you the honest feedback you need to grow and succeed.
Because I had teachers who helped me put the pieces together and support me when I was ready to give up.
I will be there to answer questions, provide encouragement, and read your work. The way my teachers were for me.
Over the course of 10 lessons, you’ll learn all about:
- The how and why of blogging – Get a deeper perspective on blogging with the story of how I started, lessons from over a decade of experience, and underlining principles so you can better serve your readers and learn what can elevate you above the noise.

“Since starting this course, our blog has transformed from just a fun way to write about our travels into a professional, thriving source for families traveling abroad with kids. Nomadic Matt and his team break down the technical material in a way that’s easy to understand. Which is good, because all that technical stuff makes my head spin! We’ve been implementing his lessons and have truly seen a difference! We would have never been able to do this on our own.” – Amanda and Ben, kidontheroad.com

“When I signed up for this course, I had no experience with WordPress, web design, writing, email, or social media marketing. I felt so overwhelmed and discouraged. How could I compete in the sea of travel blogs? But, on my launch date, I received almost 400 website visits, far more than I expected. In addition, this course will walk you through the technical side of creating a blog, providing information you won’t find anywhere online. If you’re serious about creating a profitable travel blog, then The Business of Travel Blogging is a must.” – Somto, somtoseeks.com

“I was tremendously skeptical about the course, but I figured I could always take advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee. I thought that information is free, so why pay so much for it? But, the fact is that, in addition to the information you can’t easily find elsewhere, the course includes access to two of Matt’s employees and an amazing support group of other bloggers. Just a couple of weeks into the course I managed to totally crash my website and Matt’s team fixed the issue and had my website up in just a couple of hours.” – Nate, travellemming.com

What Our Students Are Saying
“Before Matt’s program, I was determined to figure it all out on my own. I didn’t want to fall victim to just another blogging course trying to sell me things I could find for free on Google. The frustration started reaching new levels after digging through dozens of unhelpful websites just to find myself back at square one every single time I had a question. I knew I needed actual help with my site. After week one, I knew I got my money’s worth. By the time I finished the course, I finally started making money from my website!”

“I purchased this course because I realized I had no idea what I was doing and needed guidance. Since then, I have used the advice from Superstar Blogging to reach a larger audience. I have been featured on local news outlets and will be in two podcasts in the upcoming months due to the advice I learned here. I also earned my first money using affiliate marketing this month and have been contacted by two websites asking if they can feature my blog. I didn’t really have a direction at first and now I’m starting to get traction after four months! The response has been better than I expected due to the help I got through Superstar Blogging.” – Rachel, amaptoanywhere.com
