3. HELP NEW READERS TO FIND YOUR BLOG
If you have a blog already, you will know that getting new readers can be challenging! Guest writing on other blogs and websites allows you to reach a new audience that may not have found your blog yet. In our boutique blogging workshops at our Travel Girls Getaways, we teach the importance of writing for online and print publications to boost your profile and develop your brand. In addition to being featured on all of our social channels, your article will be sent out to our entire email list capturing the attention of readers who may not have found you yet.
4. GAIN VALUABLE BACKLINKS TO YOUR BLOG
Gaining backlinks to your blog is key to your SEO efforts. All articles published to our site will feature author information with links to your website and social media channels. You can also link to other articles on your own blog that provide more information or a different story angle for the destination you are writing about on WeAreTravelGirls.com. When it comes to backlinks not all sites are created equal. We Are Travel Girls is quickly becoming the go to site for female travel inspiration so backlinks to your blog from ours are valuable when it comes to SEO.
