RE: TRAVEL FEED: Tips For Writing Travel Articles

in #travelfeed6 years ago

Yeah these are pretty good starting points for anyone writing travel blogs! I'd also say be patient with it if you're just starting out as you won't start developing your own style until at least 10 blogs and then things just flow but that's the same with everything. Practice practice practice!

I'd also say make sure you have a break if you're writing a long piece and come back after a couple of days break just to come at it with a fresh pair of eyes as you will miss some mistakes like grammar if you're tired and can't find someone to proof read.

Finally, read the blog out loud and see how it flows. Is it in the style you wanted or were aiming for? What can you change to make it sound how you want it to sound when reading it out loud?

Those are my tips anyway! Hope they help in addition to this awesome list! Great stuff Mr Professor! Catch you soon 😉

Absolutely true what you said, patience tends to be rewarded on the long run, in every aspect of life. I'd also add resiliance and perseverance; if we are able to understand failure, adapt and try again, it's half way through.

Unfortunatelly, a lot of people don't give things a maturing time and end up giving up before changing. I atribute this behavior to our modern life where people's patience is challenged due to the huge amount of information flooding us every single day, it gives us a false perception that we are losing time if we keep on trying without immediate results.

The secret here is writing because of curiosity, as a way of self-development or as a tool to learn new skills. Users may not find the desired reward on the short term, but they acquire so many knowledges that the time investment will pay off somehow.
