How do press people afford all these conventions?

How do these press guys pay for all these plane tickets, hotel fees, and food? As you get more popular with your site do you get your plane ticket paid for, or do you use the money you used from your website. Because I’m not making a lot from this website and I don’t understand how press can pay to go all over the world to cover events and not be in debt.

I gotta say man, 3 weeks of running a website, and you expect it to pay your salary to live on?

3 weeks, and desiring to live off this? Sadly, it won’t be that simple…
You need to offer something to the public which they desire. Simple logics tbh.
Or pay a advertising company to put your ‘banner’ in their spam advertisements to warrant more visitors to your site.
Every x member who clicks, you got 0.06 or something. Depends on your agreement.

Your site is not unique enough IMO, there are a million and one blogs that are very similar.
