Travel blogger

Do you know what blog is? It is a website where you can write or talk about any topic (music, art, cinema, history, geography, etc.) in your personal style.
Lately, it is quite common to open a blog to talk about a personal interest, and at the same time, trying to earn something.
In this article I will tell you about how to become a travel blogger and how to earn with this digital career.
Probably you have already understood that a travel blogger is someone who writes in a blog about travel experiences.

So, how can you become a travel blogger?

The most used software to create blogs is WordPress, but there is also blogger.com
WordPress is quite simple to use and lets you choose the theme that best suits your blog needs. If you don’t know WordPress may be difficult to start, but after a time using it you will be able to do almost anything with it.
In wordpress.com you can start creating your own blog for free, without technical knowledge and by yourself.

If you don’t want to do it by yourself, you can pay a WordPress specialist, or a Web developer or a Web designer to create your blog.
Once you have created your blog, your job will be post articles about journeys you have made or that you will do, so photos and videos are essentials for your blog. I suggest you to have a good camera to do it well.

A good blogger:

  • Interacts with users by answering comments to posts;
  • Shares his knowledge;
  • Publishes articles regularly, every week at least.

For the first year you will not see great results, because of many factors: how many times per week you will update your blog; the position on the Internet, and so on, but don’t give up! If you want to become a travel blogger, you will be able to overcome job difficulties, and reach your goals!
If you look for the most popular travel bloggers on Internet, you may be able to deepen their stories to find out how they have become successful travel bloggers.

Do you know SEO? Why is it so important to know?

If you want to learn more about SEO click on SEO Consultant, a person specialized in web position at the first search results on Google and other browsers.
Now you have to know that SEO is important for your website because it helps you to scale rankings on the Internet. In other words, once you have opened your blog and started writing content, it will be among the latest Google search pages, and nobody will read your posts!

You can learn SEO through online courses, books, tutorials, or if you don’t want to study it you can pay a SEO consultant for doing this job for you.
Another aspect to consider is using social networks, because they allow you to reach users who don’t know your blog yet. For a travel blogger the most useful social networks are: Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, but also Twitter, Pinterest. There are several social networks today, you can choose what you want, but consider to publish posts frequently and establish a relationship with your fans to grow your community with followers.

How can you earn money with your blog?

First of all, you have to use Google Analytics, a tool that let you know how many daily and monthly visits your website receives. This helps you to improve your content strategies and offers something better if your content doesn’t work.
Your first goal should be 1000 visits per day to your blog. If you manage it you can use sponsored ads by Google Adsense, and affiliate marketing to start earning money. Then you can find more opportunities to earn money with your blog, writing ebooks, reviewing hotels and restaurants and so on.
