How To Succeed As A Travel Blogger In The Post-COVID World

 


 Starting a travel blog in the wake of a pandemic is both a challenge and an opportunity. Here’s how to succeed as a travel blogger in the post-COVID world.

Travel blogging is a great way to combine your love of travel with your passion for writing and sharing stories and photos with the world.

If you’re serious about making money from your travel blog, though, you need to be strategic about how you go about it, especially in the post-pandemic world.

Here are some more tips on how to become a travel blogger and live the travel writer’s life:

#1. Find an evergreen travel niche

There are countless travel blogs on the internet, so it’s important to find an evergreen niche that will allow you to keep traveling and writing even during a pandemic or any other global phenomenon.

Having an evergreen travel niche will allow you to pivot just in case international travel shuts down once more. For instance, you can focus on evergreen themes like local and domestic travel, adventure travel, camping, road trips, eco-travel, and foodie trips.

Work on becoming a good travel writer or understanding what makes a well-written travel blog. Find what interests you and focus your content around that topic.

#2. Build your travel blog site

Start by creating a blog or website that is dedicated to travel-related content. This can include posts about your own travels, advice, tips for traveling, or reviews of hotels, restaurants, or tourist destinations.

Make sure your website is well-designed and easy to navigate, and that the layout looks attractive and professional. Use high-quality photos and videos to illustrate your posts, and make sure all the information is correct and up-to-date.

#3. Create high-quality content

In order to attract readers (and ultimately sponsors), you need to produce high-quality content that is both interesting and informative. Gain experience by writing for other travel publications (in print or online).

Write about your own travels on your personal blog. Create high-quality, SEO-friendly content that is both informative and engaging and helps your content ranking on the first page of Google.

#4. Build your network

You’ll need to have a solid foundation of content and followers before you can start seeing any real financial success as a travel blogger. Here are some ways to build a strong network of travel writers, bloggers, and influencers:

·       Attend travel conferences and network with other travel bloggers and travel influencers and build good relationships with them.

·       Build an audience by promoting your work on social media sites like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.

·       Join travel writer networks to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in the world of travel blogging.

#5. Learn how to monetize your travel blog

There are a few different ways that you can monetize your travel blog. You can sell advertising space on your blog, get paid to write sponsored posts, take part in campaigns, or host events.

You can join travel affiliate programs to earn commission on sales of products or services that you recommend to your readers.

You can also offer consultancy services or fee-based access to exclusive content on your blog or write and sell your own travel guides and memoirs.

If you have a niche audience with a lot of influence, you can work with brands, travel agencies, and Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) as an influencer and sell tours and vacation packages.

Another way to make money from your travel blog is to sell your own products or services. This can be anything from online courses to physical products like travel gear, or even bespoke travel planning services.

If you have a skill or expertise that others would find useful, there’s a good chance you can monetize it through your blog.

Why Having A Vision As An Entrepreneur Can Help You Succeed Against All Odds

“The Eagle has landed.” Those were the immortal words that Neil Armstrong spoke when he landed the lunar module on the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC. I was born in 1970, into a world where humans had already landed on the moon. So I never saw the moon landing till years later, when they replayed parts of it on television and I was old enough to understand what it meant. Then, I watched the movie, First Man , in which Ryan Gosling stars as Neil Armstrong . This Steven Spielberg-produced movie spans eight years from Armstrong's early work as a naval aviator and test pilot leading up to the historic Apollo 11 mission. As a sci-fi junkie and movie buff, I loved the movie, and there were a few things that became apparent as it played. The first was that space travel is pretty darn dangerous, as anyone who witnessed the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster will know. What very few of us (who were born after the moon landing), know is that in the

How Indie Musicians Are Finding Their Audience Online

  The music industry has changed drastically in the last few decades and indie musicians are increasingly finding their audience online. Bands used to have a hand-to-mouth existence hoping that someone would notice them and sign on as an artist. If they lucked out, the band would sign a recording contract and — hopefully —  get the promotional power of the record label to find an audience. It has never been easy for indie musicians to become famous , get recognition and be known for their talents, and build a music brand. But today there are more opportunities than ever before, thanks largely due to the internet and music promotion sites where users can post their music and sell it to their fans. Independent musicians have always been outsiders. As a way to express themselves and share their music with the world, indie musicians have been distinct from mainstream artists. They’re the ones who choose to create their music outside of the definition of what many people consider popular. T
