How to Set Up a Popular Travel Blog

Blog

8 Feb

The wild and wondrous world of travel has taken the world by storm in the last two decades, due in part to more affordable flights and improving tourist infrastructure in the developing world. More than ever, people are seeking new experiences and wider perspectives aboard, taking time off from work to galivant through exciting foreign lands, visiting mind-blowing sites, and tasting incredible and exotic cuisine. If you’re someone who’s frequently on the road, then blogging about your experiences is undoubtedly something you’ll have considered. This article provides the practicalinformation for you to get such a blog up and running – and popular – in four easy steps.

Set Up The Site

Naturally enough, your first stage is to create a website on which to publish your posts. There do exist web platforms on which to post your travel blog, but it’s wiser to create your own unique URL – with providers such as Krystal– where your devotees can easily find your latest stories. With a website acquired, you’re ready to think about the layout. 

Choose a Layout

How exactly will you order your posts? How will you allow your visitors to see the trips you’ve been on, the countries you’ve visited and the experiences you’d like to share with the world? Answers to these questions will dictate the general layout you choose to employ on your site. It may be that you categorize your posts by genre (travel disasters; cuisine; sights) or you’d prefer to do that by country or by trip. Whatever you decide will shape the experience readers have on your site. 

Text vs. Photos vs. Videos 

Travel blogs exist in all shapes and sizes, and there’s no reason that you should limit yours to text-only. Sure, your stories are best conveyed through words, but to add a sprinkle of realness to your posts, it’s worth adding multimedia elements like photographs and videos that you took on your trip. Photos are especially useful in breaking up the text and showing an image of what your article is describing – helping visitors to your site engage with your stories. 

Increase Traffic 

So, you’ve got the general layout of your travel blog assembled, and you’re posting great content. There’s still no guarantee that you’ll get hits on your website, though. That’s where marketing and self-promotion come in. You’re going to want to share your stories wisely, on social media groups and with hashtags selected that’ll drive curious web users right through to your site. Word of mouth is rarely enough to drive popularity – you’ll need to develop your own marketing strategy to get it off the ground.

Get Featured

The best possible way to drive up the popularity and fame of your travel blog is to get featured in a larger publication such as a newspaper, travel supplement or vacation magazine. Offer such publications some copy that you’ve written, and see if any of them will publish it under your name, with a link to your blog attached. There’s no harm in trying, and there’s a good chance doing so will grant you your big break.

Writing a travel blog is a deeply satisfying way of sharing your adventures with others, and with the five tips presented above, you’ll be in with a good chance of making it big with your own travel blogging site.
