New ways to Maximize your Blog’s Growth

Happy New Year! 🥳🥂

Ahhh!….new year, new me, new blog growth strategy??!!

If you are a Travel Blogger like me, you are most likely constantly looking for new ways to grow your blog to the maximum. Produce more exciting and unique content. Reach a larger audience. To the next level, if you will. Then, you might want to consider collaborating with hotels this year.

Why do Hotel Collabs?

While it may not be obvious, if you collaborate with hotels, it is a win-win situation. It actually benefits both parties. Let me explain.

As the Travel Blogger, you gain new and exciting travel experiences that turns into…you guessed it! Exclusive content! You’ll be producing what I like to call Guest-Generated Content (GGC) that you can share with your readers as well as social media audience. Imagine complimentary or upgraded stays in lavish suites, hosted dining or spa experiences and much more. These are the kind of content your audience won't find on another blog. How fabulous is that “competitive advantage”? 😉

Furthermore, the content plus the experience you gain and share with the world (literally!) will help you establish yourself further as a trusted, credible voice. An authentic authority in the travel industry; elevating your personal brand. Did I convince you yet? 😊

Why would hotels work with me?

From the hotel side, collaborations with travel bloggers actually help increase exposure and eventually drive bookings. This is why hotels do this. It’s part of their marketing strategy. Depending on the partnership terms, the hotels may also use the content produced by the travel creators in their social media and ads. This not only saves them money but gets them content from the guests’ point of view - hence the term Guest-Generated Content. You are staying at their property. You are one of the hotel guests. 😎

Besides bloggers, hotels often partner with travel influencers with large and engaged audience that can turn into potential guests. As I mentioned, it’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.
