Last year I was invited to speak at a conference called BACon. While I was there I had my mind absolutely blown by an incredible group of bloggers and world travelers. While there I had the great fortune of meeting René de Lambert. René was kind enough to join me on the podcast to pass on some of his knowledge about blogging for a living and traveling the world on points.
Our topics include:
- An introduction to BACon
- What is BoardingArea.com
- Blogging for a living, ads, affiliate marketing
- Traveling on points
- Targeted spending based on your travel goals
- Milage runs
- Manufactured spending
- Crossover rewards
- Blogging is the future
If you’re inspired and want to get started, these two posts will help. Fair warning, there is a LOT of information on both of these posts!
You can find René online at deltapoints.com or @deltapoints

John, loved this conversation with Rene’. The stream of information was non-stop. I will be hitting Deltapoint.
RIGHT!?! I loved chatting with Rene. And, his blog is chock-full of great information.
Still jealous you went to BAcon without me but it was great to listen to you chat with Rene. Reminds me it’s time to apply for a few more credit cards before I run too low on points.
