How to Be a Travel Review Blogger

Our Travel Press Trip at the Hilton Orlando

Travel review bloggers have wonderful jobs! However, they also have extremely time consuming and intricate jobs, which require many skills. For instance, a travel review blogger does not just write blogs about the wonderful places they visit. They also must reach out to different companies and organizations to help sponsor their trips. They must market themselves endlessly. In addition, of course, they must travel. If you are interested in travel review blogging, keep the following in mind.

Where to Begin

 

Initially, you will need your own travel blog, and you will need to add content to it regularly. You need to make a bit of a name for yourself to really get going and make a career out of this. That means initial sacrifice.

What is Next?

 

The next task to look towards is finding companies to work with. Seriously, it is completely possible for an established travel review blogger to be offered amazing traveling opportunities. You start small, however. Eventually, you may be asked to spend free, all-inclusive nights at some of the world’s best resorts in exchange for an honest review. It is not unusual for experienced travel bloggers to have offers for up to a week’s stay, free of charge, or even longer.

Know Your Market

 

Although it may appear that only the elite can become a travel review blogger, this is not necessarily the case. It is true that you will likely need to make a name for yourself online – meaning you have an established blog with traffic – before you can begin getting complimentary stays. However, even if you are not a luxury review blogger with years of experience, you can still get free nights anyway. You just need to know your market. If you are one who enjoys staying off the beaten tracks, those are the kinds of inns, hotels, and bed & breakfasts that you want to target.

You Must Ask – At Least at First

 

Once you have been blogging a few months and have built up your traffic, send out a few strategic emails offering an honest review in exchange for a stay. You might be surprised at the responses you get! Keep blogging, and eventually, companies will seek you out.

Becoming a travel review blogger is 100 percent possible for those who truly love traveling, writing, and marketing. It is important to realize, however, that this is not a profession where there is no work involved. As long as you work hard to achieve your goals and have a proper understanding of what the job entails, you could really do this.
