Considering this very opportunity TraveList has created, if you hold a marketing position at a travel company, if you’re an online marketing expert who helps travel-tourism businesses, or if you’re an expert copywriter who knows about online marketing, this is good news for you: TraveList invites you to be a guest blogger at its travel marketing blog. PLEASE read this page thoroughly before you begin to submit any content to us.

Write for Our Travel Marketing Blog

At TraveList Marketing Blog, we provide free information in form of blog posts about various online marketing methods to help travel companies and professional individuals in tourism industry with their product/service promotion campaigns. So, it’s about online marketing! Why do I emphasize? Because some people misunderstand our “Travel Marketing Blog” as “Travel Blog”. So, they write and submit posts about their travel destinations, etc.

What do you get in return? It’s actually kind of “Guest Blogging”. You write for TraveList, preferably on a regular order, and get the following benefit:

• Recognition for your expertise on the web
• A bio paragraph with two links to your site(s)
• The attention of other travel business owners who read this blog
• etc.

What TraveList Prefers You to Write

TraveList would like to receive the blog posts covering the online marketing channels focusing on the organic methods (not paid ones) like:

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
• Social Media Marketing
• Business Blogging
• Web Content Writing
• Directory Submission
• Article Marketing
• Word-of-Mouth Marketing
• Video Marketing
• Email Marketing
• etc

You may come up with some other terms and submit some content that helps travel businesses boost their online service promotion efforts tremendously and naturally. We won’t reject such cases at all. Quite opposite, we’re open to suggestions and review them one by one. What we cannot accept is the methods like banner marketing in which you create and submit some banners to be seen at some sites in hope for getting traffic to your site. We won’t have any such categories in our list.

Authors May Address Specific Issues in Travel Marketing

Travel businesses have their own concerns and issues. What hotel associations can do or should do for their online status could be different from a restaurant chef. Both of them are in hospitality business, but they have different needs. A well-aware author should know this and address them specifically while writing for a travel marketing blog. Some topics are general, but some other ones could be specific.

The Quality of Your Content

Here are some of the factors for approving the submitted content at TraveList. You follow them and there will be no reason for disapproval. Your content should:

• Be original. We don’t accept copies of what is published at other sites before.
• Be of high quality as far as the content is concerned.
• Contain valuable information that helps tourism businesses.
• Be grammatically correct and in good English.
• Be jargon-free. We don’t address only specialists.
