There are many bloggers out there offering courses however many of these courses are incomplete or touches just the basics. I took this training offered by Wealthy Affiliate and I must say it was the best training I have seen. It teaches you everything you need to set up your blog and also how to get into affiliate marketing. You can get a free 7 days of training here.

Email Marketing Service

As you set up your blog, you will need to start capturing the subscribers to your website so that you can create your community. To do this, you need a great Email Marketing service. I use Get Response and as the name suggests, I also get a great number of people opening my emails.  

Grammarly

If you want your readers to come back again and again, your sentence structure must follow and this is why you need a tool like Grammarly. Grammarly has a free version as well as a pro version. At the beginning of your blogging career, you will need Grammarly to tie all the loose ends of your content.

Keyword Search

If you want to take your blogging to the next level, you will need to do a keyword search in order to show up on search engines like Google and Bing. A keyword search tool is necessary for this purpose and I use a fantastic tool called Jaaxy. In my opinion, it is the best keyword search tool out there that helps you spy on your competitors and ensures you choose the best keyword every time. 

Here you have it. This is a simple guide to starting a travel blog the right way. If you have any questions or if you will like to know more, leave your thoughts in the comment section.
