10 Reasons to Start a Travel Blog in 2023 – Part I
We all must have heard from people and read online that blogging is dead and yet, year after year, we have so many blogs coming up and doing well too. That suggests blogging is quite alive, and kicking!
In the matter of traveling, is 2023 a good year to start a travel blog? We think it is – and here are our top reasons why:
- Traveling is making a major comeback in 2023.
The year 2022 was about the return of traveling and people just wanted to get out of their homes and celebrate. They weren’t choosy then. But when we are talking about 2023, travelers are in the driver’s seat. They are choosing their destinations with thrill and aplomb. That being the case, the industry is opening up to them with a whole range of offers and selections. There are a lot of places to travel to and literally A LOT to write home about.
- Any year is a good year to blog about traveling.
A traveling blog is a journal of your adventures. It is a space for you to reflect on all the vacations you take and experiences you cherish.
From the picturesque sights you encounter to the delectable cuisines you savor, along with the emotions you felt during those moments – all these travel experiences could be recorded on the excellent platform that a travel blog is. So, 2023 or 2025 – does it matter?
- You can get free travel.
Property owners love to get mentioned on popular sites, blogs and videos. If you provide value to destinations you could get things in return. You could get discounts and upgrades, complimentary entrance tickets to theme parks, free meals at restaurants, complimentary hotel stays. Hotels could give you access to the ‘presidential suite’ for free, plane tickets can be offered by airlines. Lovely, right?
- It will keep you motivated.
With rising depression, anxiety and confusion, people are prioritizing mental health and well-being in 2023. There is an increasing focus on therapies that could provide a semblance of healing to the sick. Therapies that ignite positivity and healing. And we think, traveling is the number one therapy. Traveling and then writing about your adventures will keep you motivated and organized. Enjoying your travels, planning and managing time well teach one valuable life lessons and keep all negativity away.
- Will earn you good money.
You can monetize your blog in a number of ways – advertising, affiliate links, sponsored posts, products and services. As traveling is big deal in 2023, all these options are getting bigger more than ever.
