Travel Blogging in the Age of AI - In Person MeetUp

In-Person MeetUp at the NW Portland Hostel, 479 NW 18th Ave, Portland, 97209.

Travel blogging isn’t what it used to be. With the rise of AI-powered search and changing online habits, content creators face new challenges — and new opportunities. In this talk, Angie Drake, founder of Not Your Average American and NYAA Consulting, will share practical insights on how travel bloggers can adapt to the evolving digital landscape.

We’ll cover:

• How AI is reshaping search traffic and content discovery
• Practical strategies for maintaining authenticity while using AI tools
• Affiliate marketing opportunities that align with meaningful, intentional travel
• The latest AI-powered affiliate marketing tool for travel bloggers (and soon for anyone who wants to monetize a website)

This MeetUp is perfect for bloggers, travel writers, and small business owners looking to understand affiliate marketing and AI’s role in the future of online content.
