Let’s face the truth about our life: Straight into a 9-5 job right after twenty years of schooling and then becoming hard-working zombies till we die.

Are you someone who holds the conviction exactly opposite to this?

Someone who believes in impromptu traveling and making most out of this life?

That someone who loves to share with the world about his/her exciting travel journey?

If you are, then, guys, cheers to you!

Travelling and taking pictures is just not enough nowadays What you need is a blog of your own to clock in all the memories that you make while visiting amazing places around the world.

Well, if you are a travel blogger, then you must know how hard it is to stand out in the eyes of your audience. Especially, today when almost everyone is a traveler and is trying to earn their travel budget through blogging, the competition’s got even tougher.

This blog will give you a step by step guide on how you can capture the attention of your audiences by standing out from the crowd.

So, here we go!

Choose a Really Memorable Blog Name

Humans tend to give a name to almost everything; even the spider that lives in the nook of the room. (Sigh!)

This is why it is easy to forget names. In fact, super easy.

So, if you don't want your blog to be lost in the crowd, name it like one that sticks into the mind. Just, for instance, “The Incredible Hulk??”

Besides, if possible, try to sound a bit humorous.

Just keep the name short, sweet and relevant though. Also, name it simple, so as anyone can pronounce it.

Overall, name your blog such that it gets imprinted into their mind, like forever.

Nothing beats the classy.

It’s like the classy lady who dresses up and goes to a café. And everyone’s eyes are stuck on her.  

Make your blog just like her: classy!!

The journey to classiness should begin right when you start blogging.

Choose responsive and stunning templates which are highly customizable with color palettes that suit your personality. The more customizable the templates more are the more magic you can put on it and create something that’s unique.

Make sure that the templates have standard modern themes and unique UI friendly designs so that your audiences remember your blog even long after they leave your blog.

Blog Consistently

This one’s probably a million-dollar advice: Write consistently.

Because, guys, nothing beats consistency.

Your routine writing will serve as a subtle reminder to your audiences about when they will get to read your next blog.

Besides, it will also help your blog to rank higher in the search engines’ results and hence, give you more followers.

Of course, you might find it quite hard to find the topics to write on. Just try to jot down almost every possible question that a traveler might have in their mind. Try to solve those questions through your blog no matter how petty those may sound.

Or, just write about your experience or the things you learned when you visited a new place. You can write about culture, nature, food, anything that you come across. For a traveler, the topics are just endless.

Whatever you write, just do it regularly.

After all, nothing is more impressive for the audience than reading from a blogger who is passionate towards his/her blogging.

Share ‘Your Unique Story’

When blogging, it is very common for you to state ‘this and that’ about things and sound like a travel agent trying to sell through blogs.

What the bloggers fail to realize is what makes them sound like one of those agents. And how not to sound like them.

It’s pretty simple. Just share your story.

Make your blog a stage where you can showcase the unique whereabouts of your travel life, share your bucket list items and so on.

This is the number one tried-and-tested strategy that the famous television and YouTube stars often use to capture the audiences’ attention.

It will also help you form an emotional bond with your audience, which in turn, will convert them into your long-term followers/admirers (Wink! Wink!).    

Build a Network Outside Traveler’s Industry

For growing your audience, you need to explore beyond your own industry.

Like for example, guest writing for a business blog or a scientific blog can give you exposure to a niche of the audience who also love to travel but may not be a regular traveler.  

You can also attend different seminars, conferences, etc. and deliver the people there something of value.

You will also need to develop some interpersonal skills in order to develop a good relationship with them.

The most common mistake that bloggers make is staying 24*7 in the Seller-Mode i.e. trying to sell themselves through every word they speak. So, make sure to present the natural version of you when establishing a personal relationship. Just relax, be yourself and try to have fun amidst working.
