5 Quick Tips for Getting Followers on Instagram
Nail your Instagram bio. Your bio is the first impression people will get from you. Make sure to craft a bio that clearly defines who you are, what you do, and what the mission of your travel blog is—in an interesting way. Don’t forget to include a link (and compelling call-to-action) to your blog in your bio.
Create the right type of content. Images do very well on Instagram, however not all types of images. To discover the right type of images you should focus on creating and sharing, take a look at what works well for other travel bloggers in your niche (scenic and landscape images tend to do very well).
Encourage interaction. Encourage your followers to like, share, and comment on your posts. Give them a good reason to interact by sharing more unique content than others in your space, rather than just posting the same tired image styles they’re seeing from everyone else in their feeds. Strive to find a creative image format that can become emblematic of your brand.
Use smart hashtags. Hashtags are a great way to get your content discovered by albania phone number database right people, as they help users navigate to content that’s most relevant to them. Research and compile a list of the most popular hashtags in your niche and use them strategically in the description of the photos you post on Instagram.
Interact with other travel bloggers (and readers). Social media is about being social, not just sharing a one-way stream of images about your own life and hoping thousands of people will flock to watch. By interacting with other travel bloggers and your own readers on Instagram, you’ll learn more about how to best serve your audience, what they like, and what they want to see more of, and you’ll grow more engaged following as a result.
Don’t underestimate the power of social media in driving traffic to your travel blog. If done well, channels like Instagram and Pinterest can become your largest source of traffic.

3. Guest blogging
Another great way of driving highly relevant traffic to your travel blog is by guest blogging. Guest posting is the act of connecting with other travel bloggers (or travel publications) and publishing a “guest post” article on their sites. This blogging strategy alone is responsible for much of my blogging success, so I highly recommend prioritizing it in your travel blog promotion efforts.

For guest blogging to be successful, you need to:

Target sites your ideal readers already visit and spend time on
Build genuine relationships with the owners of those blogs
Create content so unique, useful, and entertaining that they’ll be compelled to visit your blog
While it may seem counterintuitive to create a stellar piece of content and publish it for free elsewhere, it’s actually a great way to showcase your expertise—and if you’re posting on the right blogs, it’ll not only help attract more visitors but also build your own authority within your travel blogging niche.
