Clearly, as with any profession, there are some basic requirements to be a good travel blogger or travel influencer:
- Being good communicators : the blogger must have a capable and attentive pen; the influencer must know how to attract attention with captivating descriptions, for example in the case of posts published on platforms where it is possible to insert short texts, or know how to speak well on camera, in case the person works on social media that support video.
- Be a good photographer and/or videomaker : both blogs and social media support the use of multimedia files; the quality of these must be high in order to win as many followers as possible. Attention to detail is important.

- Knowing how to choose your target audience : selecting what is commonly called “niche” is important. Targeted content generates more traffic, while general content gets lost in the sea of information contained on the web. We give you some niche content suggestions:
