How to start a travel blog |
Guest post from Holiday Makerz Blog
One thing I learned during the pandemic is that no one is going to give you a job. So time has changed, now you need to start earning from home. The first platform that makes a lot of money is a blog. Why I chose to travel as a niche. Because it is so wide that you can write any place that exists on earth.
There are two types of blogs
1. Micro Niche Travel Blog
In this case, you can only write about one place. When you write about Udaipur, you can write all the things that occur in Udaipur.
2. Niche travel blog
Here you can write about any place in the world. Like the best places to visit Bali, the best time to visit USA, the best places to visit in India. Here you can cover all things travel industry related.
Before you start, please keep in mind that in a month or two you will not have any success. You have six months of consistency of work.
Be patient and work hard.
1. Buy a domain
This needs to be unique, easy to pronounce, and easy to remember. You can go to Go Daddy and enter the desired domain (.com). If available, it has to be done. Otherwise just go for another one.
2. Buy hosting or not
If you are chasing the dream of making money. So your website needs to open at the speed of light. Buying premium hosting does that for you. If you use free hosting it will hurt your content and traffic. Because nothing is free in this world.

3.Install WordPress in hosting
Why we chose WordPress. Because it’s easy to use and the most popular platform to start a new blog. Then choose a theme and install a useful plugin like Rank Math Seo, Akismet, the naughty social share plugin and more.
4th How to connect domain and hosting
Very easy to connect. Open your hosting that you bought afterwards, copy the server name and paste it into DNS on the domain. Then a connection will be established.
5.How to secure your website using an SSL certificate
The SSL certificate converts your website from HTTP to HTTPS. Cloudflare offers the best service for this. So go to Cloudflare and sign in. After that, add your website. Return to hosting and copy the server name one by one. After that, go back to Cloudflare and click on DNS. Click Add Record, select NS and paste the server name. Then save it. You need to do this for all server names. After that, scroll through your Cloudflare website and copy the server name. Return to the domain registrar you bought it from. Paste the entire server name into DNS one at a time.

Now click the SSL / TLS button where you need to click FULL.
Your website is now END to END Encrypted.
Click the post, then click Add New. The first thing you need to do is do advanced keyword research. After that, write the H1 heading and then the content. After attaching some pictures, videos, infographics. After some on-page SEO. Then after writing the title and meta description. After release.
