    About this ebook

    Planning your Travel Guide (Book one of a four part series) about how to write and self-publish a travel guide. 

    It will help streamline your travel guide writing process. I demystify the steps involved in writing and self-publishing a travel guide and provide you with the information and tools you need to achieve your self-publishing success. Your time is precious, and this planning guide speeds up your creative process.

    In this first book, we focus entirely on the Travel Guide Planning Process, in 7 manageable steps:

    Step One: Review Travel Guide Categories

    Step Two: Consider Angles, Themes, and Passions

    Step Three: Brainstorm Your Ideas

    Step Four: Research Your Competition

    Step Five: Reaching Your Target Audience

    Step Six: Write Your Descriptive Statement and Content Scope

    Step Seven: Create Your Working Title

    Leverage your Blog Content

    To take your travel blog to the next level, build your brand awareness and establish your subject-matter expertise, you need to expand your content offerings over and above simple blog articles.

    You may be tempted to skip this planning book and dive straight into the writing phase, but the more time you spend on this initial planning phase, the greater the benefit will be in the long-run.

    If you believe you have a fresh perspective or insights to bring to a destination you're passionate about, and want to earn passive income from your knowledge and expertise, this book is for you.

    As a travel blogger, the most obvious path to achieving a broader reach is to leverage your travel writing skills and repurpose the content you've already created on your blog.

    Downloads

    You also get access to a set of downloadable workbooks, worksheets, and toolkits to help you navigate your way through all of the steps needed to plan your travel guide.

    The How to Write and Self-Publish a Travel Guide Series

    Here's a summary of the other three books in the series:

    How to Write and Self-Publish a Travel Guide: PEN IT (Book 2)

    As well as covering the core travel writing principles and choosing your writing style and tone, we'll also look at how to organize and structure your content, which is essential if you want to get your travel guide over the finish line. You'll discover how all the major travel guide publishers organize their content, and I'll help you evaluate the best approach for your travel guide.

    How to Write and Self-Publish and Travel Guide: PUBLISH IT (Book 3)

    There are many paths to publication, but I'm going to help you self-publish your travel guides in e-book and print-on-demand versions. I'll provide you with best practices and time-saving tips for getting your book into the right distribution channels, and into the hands of your readers.

    How to Write and Self-Publish a Travel Guide: PROMOTE IT (Book 4)

    You will need to start marketing your book even before it's available at book retailers, but this is the fourth book in the series because you will need to define your long-term content marketing strategy to keep your book in the forefront of your readers' minds. It's a constant cycle of marketing and promotion, and I'll show you how to leverage your travel blog and social media channels to raise your book's profile.

    Each book in this travel writing series covers a distinct set of activities to get your thoughts organized, together they take you from the seed of an idea to passive income stream. If you're a travel blogger looking to make more money - isn't it time you wrote a travel guide?

    Author

    Jay Artale

    Originally from the flatlands and big skies of rural Norfolk in eastern England, Jay is a British Expat currently living in Los Angeles. For the last couple of decades Jay has juggled her day job as a project manager with her passions for writing, photography and international travel. In 2008, Jay bought a holiday home on the trendy Bodrum Peninsula along Turkey’s beautiful Aegean coast. Despite its popularity with Turkish and international visitors, and a destination of choice for thousands of expatriates looking for their place in the sun, well-researched and comprehensive guides to the Peninsula were thin on the ground. Jay decided to plug this gap and enthusiastically set about capturing the local area in words and pictures. In 2010, Jay launched this website to share her knowledge and experiences with a wider audience. What began life as random facts and observations, hand-written in little note books, has grown into a well-respected and popular travel site. In 2012, Jay began publishing free location-specific Quick Reference Travel Guides for the area. A full-blown guide seemed to be the next logical step. ‘The Bodrum Peninsula Travel Guide: Turkey’s Aegean Gem’ was published exclusively on Amazon on May 31st 2013. My Other Websites: www.bodrumpeninsulatravelguide.co.uk My popular Bodrum Peninsula Travel Guide website; an invaluable resource for visitors to the area. www.rovingjay.com My Expat Advenutures blog; Host of a monthly Expat Blog Carnival. www.yalikavak.co.uk My new Yalikavak Travel Guide website, for one of the larger towns on the Bodrum Peninsula, primarily focused on images rather than text. Sponsor of the following websites: www.GoodinLA.com I host and support this blog for a local Los Angeles resident to share her ideas of how to give back in LA.
