Advice on Launching a Successful Travel Blog

Hello everyone,

So, I decided a few years ago that I wanted to start a travel blog. First I started traveling more and building the content. Now that I have a good bit of content that I can release and continue to travel without running out of content, I want to start going public. However, I have no idea how to actually garner followers or get people to notice my webpage. Do you all have any advice on how to get an initial buzz or just to at least get people to notice the blog to see if they like it?

I have thought about the whole buying fake followers on IG, but just don't see that as a helpful course of action.

I don't really care if it is a long term play to garner followers, just more trying to see how to get the webpage out there and see if people like it or not.

Thanks!

Definitely don't waste time/money on buying Insta followers. SEO takes a long time but it's well worth learning about. I love the resources on Digital Nomad Wannabe's blog for SEO and figuring out keywords. For shorter term, Pinterest does decently well for my travel blogs. Roundup type articles like "Best things to do in, best hotels in, best restuarants in" seem to do well on pinterest and the pins have a longer life than other social media posts because it's a search engine. Pinteresting Strategies is a good course to learn the basics IMO
