In reply to Rich. Personally I started travelling first and then made the blog. Originally my blog was for friends and family to keep up to date on what I was doing on the other side of the world and it kinda took off from there..

Great advice here. (I expect – it might be terrible, I have no frame of reference haha)

Question: Did you guys start writing then go? Or go then start writing?

I know what you’re saying, but a lot of the time I like to read stories of complete randomers just to see how other people felt about places that aren’t in my social circle 🙂 That could be just me though… I’m weird.

In reply to Rachel. Oh man at the very start I was like.. "Why is nobody reading me? Do they all hate me already?" but it does take a while... social networking is definitely key :-)

Cool stuff, guys. I have a growing english blog and am starting a german travel blog (for backpackers and nomads, the whole budget thing) that I want to keep as informational as possible. Most here are only personal accounts of rtw travel (super boring unless you know the people). So let’s hope I can make a difference!
I love what you are doing here, keep it up!

Thanks for the advice! Getting started is tough, especially developing an audience. Good to know its something everyone struggles with at first!

Thanks for the excellent advice! It’s overwhelming being the new kid but this is a huge help.

Now, I must get on to writing a blog post slagging off one of the big boys…
