Medium-ready 3 Travel SEO Writing Samples.
Shamir Afridi
Purpose of Writing:
I shared three articles on Medium to showcase my expertise in the travel niche through a sample of my work.
My strategy for every article:
I utilized Ahrefs' Keyword Generator for my keyword research, although I am also quite comfortable with Semrush. However, my primary aim was to determine the search volume on Google.
The target audience was considered along with their specific pain points.
Once the keyword is identified, I delve into thorough research. This entails scouring diverse online sources, blogs, food magazines, travel guides, hotel reviews, and cookbooks to gather valuable information.
All the articles are meticulously organized, delivering comprehensive information in a structured manner.
Once the article was written, it was proofread and edited for any grammatical errors, factual inaccuracies, or inconsistencies.
Every article was then optimized for SEO and Keywords identified during the keyword research were strategically placed throughout the article.
Since I didn't have my own images, I didn't put much effort into searching for free images of each food item. Despite all the images being copyrighted, they were still relevant.
All these articles are published on Medium for samples.
The First Article:
My Sequential Process for the First Article:
My step-by-step process for writing this sample article:
The first topic is "Top 10 Must-Try Street Foods Around the World".
The target audience I had in mind includes food enthusiasts, travelers, and cultural explorers.
The main keyword I focused on was "Street Foods Around the World."
The article was divided into an introduction, a list of top 10 street foods with detailed descriptions for each, and a conclusion.
Each street food was described in detail, including its origin, ingredients, and why it is a must-try.
The Second Article:
The targeted keyword "the best hotels in Beverly Hills".
Before starting the writing process, I had identified the key phrases or words that would help the article reaching target audience. These could include terms like "best hotels," "Beverly Hills," "luxury accommodations,"
Audience: Wealthy travelers seeking luxurious accommodations in Beverly Hills.
Initial research about the top hotels in Beverly Hills. This could involve reading reviews and exploring hotel websites.
The outline was created which included an introduction to Beverly Hills, the criteria for selection, and individual sections for each hotel.
The Third Article:
1. Prior to writing, grasp the topic - budget-friendly travel destinations. Define the target audience: budget travelers, backpackers, money-saving vacationers.
2. Browsed through travel blogs, websites, forums, and TripAdvisor reviews.
3. An outline served as my writing compass. It featured an engaging introduction, detailed body sections on various budget-friendly destinations, and a concluding summary of key points.
