Although much of this site is focused on our life as a holistic family, it is also a travel blog, documenting our adventures around the globe. If you’re thinking of starting a travel blog of your own, there are certainly a few important points which you will want to consider.
Firstly, you will want to think about what makes your experience relatively unique. The most successful travel blogs tend to be those which are written from an unusual perspective or those where the writer is able to engage a specific group of people with their work. Think about your individual circumstances, and decide on the angle which you want to take.
If you are serious about travel blogging, then you will want to factor this in to your travel plans before you even leave the country. You will want to find out if the places where you will be staying are able to offer internet access, not simply so that you can play games of Cheeky Bingo or send emails to those back home, but so that you can regularly update your blog. If you are likely to be charged for the amount of time you spend online, then you may actually want to write your posts first, so that they don’t end up being rushed.
Lastly, you should make sure you are prepared to be committed. Travelling can be very exciting, but if you want to be a successful blogger, then you should make sure that you are prepared to dedicate a certain amount of your travel time to blogging. Think about what will be interesting for your readers – a blog is not simply a personal diary, but it is designed to be read by an online audience. Take photos if possible, and make sure you post regularly in order to build up a loyal readership.
