Travel writing contest

You know how they say: the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

It is time to share what are the 3 places in your town that you would definitely recommend visiting!

WINNERS OF THE PREVIOUS CONTEST

The topic of the previous contest was "Kindness I encountered from strangers while traveling." The 100 HBD prize pool was split among 27 authors. I am happy to announce that most of the articles that participated in the contest were of super high quality.

Rewards were distributed using the simplest distribution method ever. All articles that met the criteria got from 5 to 10 points. To support quality over quantity TOP1-2 authors were given +20 points, TOP3-8 +10 points, TOP9-14 +5 points each. The total number of points happened to be 329. It means that 1 point = 0.304 HBD.

For example, if the author got 8 points, he/she received 8*0.304=2.432 HBD. Extra points were also given for enhancing posts with one or more of elements mentioned above (Youtube videos, Google maps, Instagram posts, etc.) Same technique of counting points will continue to be used in the future.

Congratulations to TOP8 authors: @ybanezkim26 (9.118 HBD), @pushpedal (9.118 HBD), @junebride (5.775 HBD), @travelporn (5.775 HBD), @marcybetancourt (5.775 HBD), @sahitya2702 (5.775 HBD), @pradityaa (5.775 HBD), @drishtisachdeva (5.775 HBD).

Other participants that got rewarded were @dexpartacus, @sampraise, @rosana6, @jacuzzi, @jemzem, @ashikstd, @neiraurdaneta, @laxyasaru, @irisworld, @olivia08, @sahiba-rana, @shemzy, @rnunez09, @dael28, @alfredmusic, @sharliep, @christianpoetry, @dramaqueens.

QUALITY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!

Value-adding is the main thing to consider when writing a post for your travel blog. Imagine you are a reader who found your article on the search engine. Is it informative? Is it interesting to read? However, all these things won't matter if the first impression is bad and the reader leaves your page after 3 seconds. I will share 3 great tools to enhance your blog post!

  1. Grammarly - this tool will correct most of your grammar mistakes. They offer a free to download Desktop app but for Travelfeed.io authors, I highly recommend downloading their Chrome/Brave extension.
  2. Hemingway Editor - another powerful tool to enhance your writing. I'm not a native English speaker myself. My sentences are usually long and hard to read. If you use passive voice too often or your text has too many adverbs, Hemingway Editor will help you to fix this.
  3. Canva.com - online tool for picture editing. Imagine you took a picture of a beautiful castle and later noticed that the dirty rubbish bin on the corner of the photo ruins the overall picture. In this case please consider trimming it with Canva.

Please remember, that adding 3 good quality pictures to your article is x9 times better than adding 15 average ones. Don't use fancy fonts as they may look nice, but they also make your text super difficult to read. Always consider adding one or two links to other Travelfeed.io posts of the same topic. Youtube videos may be a good addition too. Especially if they are yours.

    Hey Olivia,

    Yup, I can see I've sent it twice. Nothing in this world happens without a purpose. :D If it happened, this is probably how it had to be. You should keep it. Thank you for participating in every Travel Writing Contest that I announce. By the way, maybe you own a Youtube channel? This contest would be another opportunity to earn some HBD. :)

                    Thank you very much for the @invisusmundi award. The publication I made for the previous contest was a great experience, a good memory and a magnificent lesson.

                    I recommend to use the Hemingway editor. It' s very good!!

                    For those of us who don't think in English, we also have to write with common sense because not everything is literary.

                    Greetings

                    Hello Marcy,

                    would you like to write an article for this contest too? :)

                     4 years ago  

                    I'm going to try.
                    I don't have any recent photographs. I'd like to suggest three beautiful places in my city but right now it's not pretty. Besides, I am honest and responsible with my publications.

                    Why do you ask me?

                                        I don't know if I made it on time. I forgot to post the link a few days ago. But I am still hoping though.
