How to Start a Travel Blog: My Top 10 Tips

[@TheOficialrioplug]

Great content, very useful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge I'm glad i found your channel.

[@brandonprovo4666]

Thanks so much for this video, Kristen. My domain for a travel blog that I never got off the ground is about to expire and I'm looking for reasons to keep it. I'm sitting in my car at a dead end job literally trying to pull myself out of depression because I feel chained to this life that is so unfulfilled. This video has made me feel like I have nothing to lose other than taking a risk at something that could at least fulfil me in some way, if not make me some money down the road full time. I have the why, I have the want to share stories, Im an extrovert at heart and I love social engagement. This is the catalyst I needed to re-up on my domain and actually launch it to the world.

Great video! Thank you so much

[@travelsandtalks8702]

I am watching this because I am a solo female traveler too. This is so helpful!

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Yay!

[@rocinanteontheroad]

I love this advice! I am new to the travel blog community, after a career in the classroom as a geography and economics teacher. I am “older” and reading and watching your videos is giving me confidence to be myself. I was really worried about conforming, hiring out, and starting “right” - right from the start. I bought my domain in Feb 2020 and have stopped myself because I didn’t know where I fit in or have the tech skill to understand WordPress, SEO, etc. Following your advice, two weeks ado I committed to hiring the design and marketing out through my hosting provider. I focused on our most recent travel and my focus and joy for writing was amazing! Thank you for “being you” and inspiring me!

Hi, Kristen! (Is that how you spell it?) I just watched it, and I just started mine, by the way. Thank you very much. I would like to stay in touch to ask you some questions and to see I could write for you, as you recommended. Thank you again.

Aw thanks so much

[@starcar1980]

I’ve always wanted to write paid travel blogs, but haven’t been to too many international destinations. What are the best ways to write blogs if you haven’t travelled the world?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Travel in your own backyard and write about it. People love local experiences.

[@lanellmantey2795]

I would like to reach out to others with an article. Any recommendations of how to search for those that would be interested in travel articles?

[@manmanchung7646]

Hey Kristin, thanks for sharing. Actually i have just started my journey into this industry. May i ask if i should start my niche in different social media platform like Instagram, facebook and etc first so that i can build a good foundation of audience before creating my own websites?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

I get the most out of my blog/website actually. I find that social media can be so fleeting. In the 6.5 years I've done this, so much has constantly changed but the most valuable part has always been what's mine - my site and writings.

[@sofianehamissa]

great video i love it now my question is ..I enrrolled couple days ago to start my own travelagency at inteletravel which i can customize my own website but the problem when you google it .is only corporation landing page comes up .so can i create my own travel blogging website and add a link which my clientel click it on mainpage and it take them corporation webpage and start booking ..please give a solution what i have to do thank you...

[@rehaanaffi5281]

Amazing

[@divyamehra5304]

This is a great video, immensely helpful! :D:D I wanted to know did you start your initial blogging on WordPress or directly jumped into creating your own domain?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

I had my own domain from the beginning but I use wordpress as the software!

[@Mariam-ws8ig]

Thank you for the tips 👌🏻 I’m stuck on the name of my blog 😔

[@brandonprovo4666]

Write out 10 ideas. Then walk away for a few minutes. Walk away for a few hours even. Come back and look them over, then weed out 5. Figure out if you have other ideas. Then get it back to 5. Now look at them and see the pattern of what you want this to be about. "Nomadic Matt", "Be My Travel Muse" who would ever think these could be something? The authors! It's unique to them and doesn't totally need to be "Nike" or "apple". It just needs to be you (and as simple as you can get it)

[@themilesmile1399]

Yeah, that was a tough decision for me too! But, then I just wrote down everything coming on my mind on a piece of paper and combined them all to come up with the name 'The mile smile' Haha! If you've started your blog already, please do share and Have a look at mine www.themilesmile.com

Hi kristen, I am looking to do a bus conversion and do a tour of all 50 states with my animals and partner. I have experience blogging but I wanted to learn from you how to do the social media part. I have no social media presence and was wondering where to start? I have watched a few of your videos and looked at your pages and thought you would be a good mentor in this area, any advice?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

It depends on your end goal. We are talking all about social media in my coaching program in August if you're interested in learning from me :) www.bemytravelmuse.com/travel-blog-accelerator/

[@emmahoeflich1808]

@@Bemytravelmuse I would absolutely be interested, my only question would be are there meeting or a schedule that would need to be kept to and does the coaching happen online?

[@manmanchung7646]

Hey Kristin, thanks for sharing. Actually i have just started my journey into this industry. Should i start my niche in different social media like Instagram, facebook and etc before creating my own websites ?

[@-grey]

Ahhh, I'm sorry, I heard it too many times I just have to say it. Niche is pronounced "neesh", it's a French word for pet house. A smaller thing inside a bigger thing. House in a house.
