Is Travel Blogging a Profession?
I started ‘be on the road’ travel blog 6 years ago as a way to share my travel experiences with my family and friends. A lot of travel bloggers did the same. They started their travel blogs either because they treated it like a hobby or because they wanted a medium to be able to share their photos, videos and stories with their folks.
Today, this blog is my career. And so are many other blogs of other travel bloggers. The whole travel blogging ecosystem has been changing slowly over the past few years. Today, travel blogging has evolved into a profession and many brands are keen on working with them. There are many avenues of making money. And I am not just talking writing or advertising. I am talking social media. I am talking digital marketing. I am talking brand positioning. I am talking so much more.
If you have ever wondered how a travel blogger makes his money or if you are an upcoming travel blogger who wants to carve a niche out for him(her)self, you should block Feb 25, 2014, 4:30 PM to 5:15 PM on your calendar!!
