Title of Paragraph

Insights and lessons learned from starting a travel blog. Blogging is one of my passions. Since my early professional years, I’ve worked on developing websites on WordPress (I was working on Visual Composer at that time — a drag-and-drop website builder). I was Marketing Manager for a Marketing Agency and we were developing websites for customers, including the optimization for the search engines like Google, the SEO. In 2009, for Christmas, I received as a lifetime present a domain with my name. I was only posting about my ongoing projects, not wanting to make a fuss about it.

In 2014, when I moved to Paris and started working in Luxury Fashion, I turned my blog into a Fashion Blog. I named it at that time, Fashionista in Paris. The first few years in Paris have been hard for me, working and studying for my MBA in Luxury Marketing. I did not have time to have a LIFE back then. After finishing my MBA, I got a new job as a Luxury Store Manager and started to travel to relax and skip the busy life in Paris.

Every month I took 4 days in a row and just went on a city break in a European city. Because it was mostly a last-minute booking, I did not always have friends available to travel with me. So I started going alone and soon discovered how amazing traveling Solo can be. It was not a thing back then to travel Solo and people were in shock the first time when they heard me traveling alone. But Solo Travel gained in popularity in the past years.

"SO THAT BEING SAID, HERE’S MY ULTIMATE GUIDE TO STARTING A SUCCESSFUL TRAVEL BLOG!"

Mobile Optimization: Ensuring your blog is mobile-friendly.

Design Tips: Choosing themes and layouts that enhance user experience.

"OPTIMIZE YOUR BLOG FOR DESKTOP AND MOBILE AT THE SAME TIME"

If you plan on launching a Travel Blog, you know how important it is to have the information on the go. This is why the mobile version of a blog is more visited than the desktop version. With this in mind, you need to make sure your blog is mobile-friendly.

Some themes propose a completely new version for your mobile or just the option of hiding some features from your mobile version and using them only for your mobile version.

Quotes

“You don’t just build a blog — you build a version of yourself, one post, one lesson, and one journey at a time.”
