There are three ways to launch a travel blog. Read up on
fun places and gather resources for your blog. Secure a travel contract from an
organization, company, magazines or website.
Save up and traveling the world on meager funds. You
could document your travel adventures during trips or special holidays.
Save
Money
The most important aspect of travel blogging is money.
Once you are motivated save up for the journey.
Create a budget, decide on the destination and write a
business plan. Destination traveling is expensive and requires huge money.
Individual travel bloggers save close to a year to gather
enough capital. They use target savings and borrow from friends and family.
Contracted travel bloggers are sponsored by organizations to predetermined
locations.
You need to save about $30,000 for your trip and living
expenses when you return. Budget $20, 000 for transportation, accommodation and
feeding. On the journey you need to develop cost saving measures such as
backpacking and sleeping at cheap locations.
You need to study your destination before committing
funds. Some countries are downright dangerous with ethnic wars and conflicts.
You don’t want to be caught up at such locations. Other
considerations are culture, crime index and international travel warnings. Make
sure the destination is moderately safe and contact locals or travel guides.
Cost
Saving Methods
It is important you implement lots of cost saving
measures or you will run out of money. Costs saving measures include cheap
hotels, backpacking and networking with locals.
You should approach tourism offices for destination
advice, discounts and special offers. Focus only on the most important aspects of
the trip such as lodging, food, and transportation.

Use Social
Media
Without a social media account you blog might not receive
adequate traffic to turn a profit. The social media page will drive traffic and
offer one on one engagement.
Another advantage of owing a social media account is gaining
followers. Large number of followers guarantees marketing opportunities. Top
social media accounts to consider are Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
How
Travel Blogs Make Money

could use Google adsense, propeller ads or other advertisement networks.

direct advertisement placement and selling products. The travel blogger can
even earn directly from his social media accounts through brand campaigns.
