What to write in travel blogs 

If you are just starting as a travel blogger, you can start by writing about your first holiday trip. Your first blog post does not have to be perfect, just something to get your travel blog started. As you continue blogging, the creative juices will begin to flow and travel blog ideas will be flowing out to you. 

Write about the country you live in 

No matter where you live in the world, there will always be something you can write about. The location you write about need not be a popular tourist spot – it can be as simple as your neighbourhood. You can write down your thoughts about how you feel about your neighbourhood and the community in the neighbourhood. 

Your next travel destination in your mind 

Travel blogs don’t have to be full of destinations you have already visited. You can also include destinations that you want to travel to and have yet to. Travel blogging is about sharing your thoughts related to travel with your readers. Who knows, maybe a reader who has visited the destination and left you a comment about his or her recommendations. 

Write about yourself 

After all, this is your travel blog. It is about you and your travel experiences. The juiciest posts are the most personal ones. Most readers follow a particular travel blog because they want to know about the blogger on a personal level. There are travel bloggers who write about their life challenges and how travelling changed their life. The personal touch in the travel blog posts can be a very powerful one. 

Listicles

Listicles are articles or posts that are in a list form. They are popular because they are easy to read and are quick to create. 

Interview

You can consider interviewing people you meet during your travels and write a profile description of them instead of the usual Question and Answer format. This creates an insightful piece you have on your travel blog and differentiate your travel blog from others. 

How do travel bloggers make money 

Travelling trips for press and campaigns

This is the best way to make money out of a travel blog, but it will require an established and well-known travel blog. These travel trips typically cover your travelling expenses such as your air ticket, accommodation, food, and attractions in exchange for posts about the trip on your travel blog. 

Sponsored posts/reviews

Sponsored posts and reviews are when companies contact travel bloggers. The primary purpose is to ask the travel bloggers to mention and recommended their products to the readers. Travel bloggers can choose to give their honest opinion about the product or to review the product for the sake of the monetary reward. 

Ambassadorship 

Ambassadorship is very much like sponsored posts and reviews. However, ambassadorship means that you are representing the brand and speak on their behalf. As you are promoting the brand, you are working with. You might be creating articles, an advertisement and social media posts to help them with their marketing. 

Travel planning 

Travel bloggers can offer travel planning services to ordinary people. You can start offering the service and plan for things to do on a trip to a particular destination for someone. 

Freelance writing 

Travel bloggers can get paid by writing for organisations as a side income. Travel bloggers can reach out to travel websites or organisations related to travel to work with them or wait for these organisations to approach you for working opportunities for freelance writing. 

How do I set up a travel blog 

Step 1: Come out with a name for your travel blog 

Finding the perfect name is probably the most challenging thing when it comes to starting a travel blog. You do have to keep in mind that you are likely to be known for your travel blog name for the lifetime of your blog. 

Step 2: Set up a website hosting 

While there are many free versions of website hosting available, it is advisable to set up a website hosting and subscribe to a plan to start a travel blog for the long term. Subscription plans come with various benefits such as more customisability, a domain name, and security features. 

Step 3: Creating your website

To start, your travel blog does not need too many tabs. However, at least create an about page. When checking out a travel blog for the first time, a reader usually will hover to the about page to get to know the blogger. Creating an about page gives potential readers a reason to care about you and follow your travel blog. On the about page, you can share facts about yourself, share with your readers why you like to travel, and try to make things as enjoyable as possible.  

Step 4: Write your first post 

After creating your about page, it is time to write your first post on your travel blog. The most relevant first post on a travel blog is one about you. Share with your readers why you started the blog, what the blog will be about, where you are going for your next trip and the destinations you have been to. 

Is it too late to start a travel blog in 2021

It is never too late to start a travel blog in 2021. While you may think that there are so many travel blogs out there are the competition is stiff, you are right. However, there are more opportunities for income than the time when the pioneer bloggers started their blog. If you focus on generating traffic rather than monetising your readers, you will be able to make a comfortable income out of your travel blog in no time.
