Thirdworldfoodblog.com - 1 year to grow traffic an monetize.

Hi Warriors,

First post here. Really enjoying the forums.

My sister, Dot, is going on a year long mission trip with a charity called "The World Race" that travels to 11 different countries. She's kind of a free spirit and has yet to figure out what she is going to do when she gets back.

I saw this as a great opportunity for her to start a blog and focus on nothing but growing traffic for a year. I mean, what else is she going to do... I was trying to think of the best niche to set her up in that could possibly be monetized when she comes back. The safest thing I could think of was food. Not exactly the most specific niche I know, but there are some options with it it at least.

So I set her up with a blog (the first time I ever used wordpress) and told here to blog about all the stuff she eats during the year. Apparently, it's some pretty interesting stuff.

Welcome to the Third World Food Blog! - Third World Food Blog

I said take as many pics and videos as possible and write down as many recipes as you can.

So that's where I'm at. We have a year to develop it. I'm looking for some ideas. Mine include:

1. Third World Diet Book
2. Build a list of people interested in food and travel.

After 1 year, she can hand off the blog posting to the next "World Racer", presumably paying the new person with a donation to their charity fund. So there is potentially unlimited "free-ish" perpetual blog posting.


Can any of you marketing geniuses help me with a plan?
