If someone tells you that you have the opportunity to travel and earn both at the same time, how good great would it be!
Travel Blogging has gone leaps and bounds as an industry today, and more and more travelers are pouring in each day to create a unique personal brand name.
While each one has a different reason and different methodology, based on the chosen travel segment, few things remain the same. Here's why you should become a Travel-Preneur.
Travel industry is ever booming and ever green
Every individual has to travel, for different reasons - business or leisure. That makes the travel business an ever increasing requirement.
With the changing global travel needs, the challenges will also change. Hence, there is no such time as the 'right time' to become a travelpreneur.
Your experiences do matter, as they will be different than others, and will have a different perspective for your readers to consider. So, never think, 'how does it matter'.
Every year, thousands of travel businesses open up globally. New hotels, apartments, villas, restaurants, airlines, travel services and several others.
Your travel blog can be an opportunity to highlight such new services by creating awareness for the other travelers.
Share Your Travel Experiences
As a travel blogger, nothing entices the readers more than your unique adventures and stories. People travel for different reasons and each one will have their experiences - good or bad!
Your travel blog is your opportunity to speak out your voice, to a large world out there, who would then be inspired to take your course, or simply learn the lessons from your experiences.
If crafted well, travel blogging lets you connect with the entire globe as well as share your genuine experiences, so other people can learn from them.
A well-written travelogue not only tells a good story, but also, helps brands to identify you to write for them.
Usually, such travel blogger's do not earn from affiliate resources as much as they do from working with the brands.
Your asset lies in your expertise to weave unique stories about your travel experiences and has little to do with the various affiliate resources available out there.
Share Your Travel Knowledge and Expertise
As a traveler, every person has to use one or more or a combination of travel services. A travelogue may or may not discuss more about the planning and execution, rather focus more on the perspective of the trip experience.
When you are more into knowledge sharing, the story is less important than the factual information. You may have the experience of having used the various services such as flights, hotels, OTA websites,car rentals, taxi services etc.
As a travel blogger, sharing information about how particular service performs also gives an insight to the travelers.
Your honest opinion and research can help more and more travelers to make a clear decision about their travel plans.It can also help them to save money on their travel.
What Technique / Style should you choose?
Most travel bloggers use either or both techniques for their travel blog, based on their writing capability. Writing a good travel story is often a skill and it takes practice to learn the craft.
However, writing factual information is not that difficult. It is completely on an individual which style to choose, based on the focus of the blog and the 'ultimate goal'.
Each style will have its own set of pros and cons. How well you do with your blog depends upon how closely and critically you have identified your writing strengths and weaknesses.
In the end, it is best to go for a style that is easier for you to follow rather than choosing one that makes it all the more difficult.
No matter which style of writing you choose, if you are good at doing it, and have developed the skills through practice (I say practice here and not an inborn talent), you will be able to convert your travel blog into a fully sustainable business.
