6 Ways to Improve Your Travel Blog

in #travel8 years ago

Travel blogging is a fantastic way to document your journey, inspire the internet world and make an income to support your travels. While starting a travel blog is highly recommended, this article goes out to those of you who already have one. Whether you blog strictly for family and friends or your aim is to spread your message and bring in an income, here are some ways that you can improve your travel blog to reach your goals.

Create Content That People Want

This makes the top of the list as it’s one of the most given bits of advice out there. It may seem obvious but the best way to have a successful blog is to create content that people actually want to see. If no one is interested in what you’re sharing, you may find it difficult to gain recognition, have eyes on your work and generate any sort of income. So, how do you know what people want? Well, first think about the kind of content that you personally would like to read and start there. Make your content useful, relevant and easy to digest. A great way of finding out what people want is by searching “Google Keywords“ to see what people are specifically typing into search engines. If you see that a ton of people are searching for the best cafes in Bali, and you happen to have spent a month traveling there, consider writing an article and posting some photos on this topic.

Offer Useful Resources

Offering something useful or of value to readers is a great way to get them interested or coming back to your posts. Think about the information that travelers need to know like the best sightseeing spots, modes of travel, visa regulations and suggestions for vaccines and offer some content on it. It’s helpful if you add in links to official websites or photographs that help explain certain bits of information.

I'd also consider using local guides to get a 'real feel' of the place you are visiting if its a well visited location. A little homework ahead of time yields tremendous results when traveling. My best experiences have been exploring with the locals.

Definitely include image in travel blog to catch attention. I used steemimg.com to host my pics and link them in my post. Check my latest post:
