Obviously getting viewers/visitors to your blogsite is the name of the game. Where do you go when you have exhausted your email list? We have started sending a copy or link of specific blog articles to the places mentioned in it. For example, when we blogged about St. Meinrad, Indiana, we sent the link to the Tourist Office and Convention bureau. Next thing we knew that particular entry was getting hits from all over the world. Marketing yourself is one way to go. Someone once told us that freelance writing/blogging is 20% writing and 80% marketing. If you are like us, the hardest part is the marketing but I guess you have to do it!

am the admin for the Business and Travel Opportunities Network and I have been subscribing to Travelblog.com for feeds relevant to each country.
However they do return the favour by allowing me to post my link up on their blog even in the comments section.
That is why I would welcome bloggers who specialise in a particular country to feed their blogs through to us.All I ask in return is that I can occasionally comment on your blog and leave our website address.
You can view the network at http://bonyoyage.ning.com and see if you would like to participate---obviously it means that your blog will get greater exposure.

Goodness, T&L SEA seems to be having their links all over TBEX.

Anyway, as a niche market I would say that I am semi-niche by only focusing on Southeast Asia while majority of the travel bloggers are RTW (Round the world) writers. I could have done RTW but what would make me stand out from the rest? As mentioned in one of the replies below, traveling with a pet parrot or with 8 kids or simply photographing everything with your iPhone? That for sure would make it interesting. I understand the love for travel but if your blog is a travel blog just for kicks, then so be it. However I am noticing that many travel bloggers are now trying to monetize their blogs after they have been writing in a 'blog' style catered to friends and such.

I believe travel blogging for business is another level all together and one has to figure it out by dividing your diary with your travel writing.

Thanks for the "welcome" note that came in my box from here. I'll introduce myself. I'm a guy with a journalism and I guess art history background. I new to serious blogging and feeling my way toward a tiny niche. I don't know if it will work commercially, but I am writing stuff I want to share with people. I going for something other than the travel tips kind of blog, and more of a literary and arts and history thing about Italy of interest to those who might like to travel,
