Travel Blogging
Travel Blogging for me is a dream come true. I love writing, and I love travelling – being able to combine the two almost feels surreal.
If you’re interested in starting a travel blog or have one that you want to see more success from, here are some resources to help you get started.
Making a Goal
For some people, starting a travel blog is a fun hobby that helps them keep track of their travels, and share their stories with friends and family.
If your goal is primarily to make an income, then you’ll have to target topics that people are asking questions about. Your answers, resources and information to those questions is what will drive people to your website from search engines.
My travel blog grew pretty quickly. By my 3rd month, I was receiving around 1,500 visitors per month. You can read more about how I accomplished that here.
How To Start a Travel Blog That Makes Money
To start a monetized travel blog, you will need to:
- Follow the technical steps to set up your blog in the right away
- Target the right keywords
- Join affiliate programs for things that you would recommend
- Write good quality, helpful content about topics that you are truly an expert in
- Wait (a big part of travel blogging is about waiting, and being patient.)
The above steps don’t ‘work’ overnight. It takes months to see results from blogging. Blonde Abroad has a great resource on how to start a travel blog here.
Resources for Learning to Travel Blog
There’s never been a better time to learn anything. There are so many resources and courses out there (free and paid) to teach you how to blog.
In my case, I wanted to make money blogging and I wanted it to happen as soon as possible. I signed up for Scale Your Travel Blog, which is the priciest, but also the most in-depth coaching course out there out there on starting a blog.
