Well, after reading the post on What is travel blogging I know you are completely in love with the idea of travel blogging. Did I mention the background work that you need to do? Well, if not let me tell you it isn't as easy as you think. Everything in life requires a strategy and the same is the case with travel blogging and to make a strategy you have to go through all the worst-case scenarios. So the first move in travel blogging is having money for traveling.
This tutorial is a part of Complete Travel Blogging Tutorial in BloggeritaWhat are the requirements for making a travel blog?
It's not a small sum I am talking about on which you can enjoy a seven-day tour to your favorite destination. I am talking about a huge sum of money, sufficient enough to cover up all your travel plus blogging expenses for a year. Now you got a perfect hint of how much amount I am talking about. Normally travel bloggers start earning within 6 months to 9 months at maximum. Some even start earning within 3 months but as I said we have to consider worst case scenarios. So I am assuming that within a year you will start getting a proper 500$ per month. ( Check on the internet and they say six-figure income and all that shit but believe me very few have even reached that line ). Till then you will have to spend the minimum and survive on as little as you can.
You must have heard the popular saying, "No pain No gain". At least for the first year, you will have to sacrifice any luxurious lifestyle you have and live a simple life. After you start getting a good sum of money you can choose to have a luxurious lifestyle but I say nothing is more luxurious than nature itself. Once money starts flowing in from various sources then you can start to afford the luxurious lifestyle. You will also cut money on travel when various organizations and travel agencies contact you to promote their brand and products but giving you free supplies and travel tours around your favorite destinations. Oh! Did I let cat out of the bag? Well, that's the juiciest part of becoming a travel blogger but I will keep that part for the later.
Now let us assume, you have a sufficient amount of money for travel and blogging. First of all start a blog. I will assume that you have taken the Basic Blogging tutorial and Advanced Blogging tutorial and SEO tutorial as we will require bits of everything here. Buy a hosting, set up a blog, make social profiles for your blog, complete the SEO of the blog and you are ready to start your travel.
One thing you could surely require for your travel is a camera and a laptop. As a traveler, you also need to be a photographer and be natural at clicking photos and for clicking professional photos for your blog you will need a professional camera too. I will not press on buying a camera ASAP and if you own a Pixel 3 phone or above you can easily use your phone as a camera. Well, if you are going for buying a camera I suppose you buy a DSLR as DSLR is specialized for clicking photos. Also a Laptop for making blog posts on the go.
