Great question! The best way to start a travel blog is to start writing!
Consider writing a guest post here on the Love Eat Travel website!
In the meantime, write about your past travels (best places, fun things you did, etc.). Write about your current travels (while you’re at your destination). Write about your future travels (all the planning you’re involved in). Don’t stop writing! Write every single day. Always be writing.
It is crucial to have photos with each blog post. Photos that represent the location well. Keep in mind one great photo to use to represent the blog post itself. If someone were to look at only that photo, they can sum up easily what that blog post is about.
After you have a dozen or so posts written (on Word document or the like), then it’s time to put it out on the internet for people to read! Create a website for your blog. You will need to have a good web hosting company. If you’re just starting with a super basic blog, you can get shared hosting for $2.99 a month. When you get a million visitors like I do, you will eventually upgrade to your own dedicated server!
So think of your blog – your website – as a permanent home for your writings. Don’t get too involved in the style or design of the blog, be sure to focus on the content. The writing is what is most important!
