I am approaching my fifth year of blogging and it promises to be a very interesting one. Writing on Travel Rants has been a massive learning experience and I want to share what I have learnt and experienced through the ups and downs of writing the blog.

Next month I will be re-launching the Travel BlogCamp website and while it will continue to be where I publish information on future events, it’ll also become a place where you can learn more about travel blogging and social media from my own experiences.

It took 18 months for Travel Rants to start receiving comments and mentions on other blogs and the media, and if I knew then what I know now, I would have done things differently. It’s those early months where most bloggers start to lose interest

I have written and promoted a blog for over four years and I have learnt a lot in this time, and being a solo blogger you have to learn quickly. Sometimes, I browse a travel website and wonder why they haven’t created a blog
