Interview With Travel Blogger Nikita Das from Vagabond Stories

• Hi, Welcome to Etechexplorer. Could you please share a bit about yourself?

• When and how did you get introduced to blogging?

• What your blog Vagabond Stories is all about? How did you think to name it?

• How, do you manage your Daily blogging routine? and how do you stay productive? How many hours a week do you spend on your blog?

 Since social media is such a big part of blogging, I maintain my scheduling routine on social media and make it a point to be as active as possible on Instagram & FB. I actually have weekly & monthly goals which I work towards- it helps me remain focused. I spend almost half of my work time on my blog- for me, it’s not just a blog, it’s an entrepreneurial journey.

• What are the strengths you think have helped you to become a better blogger? Do you wish to learn any new skill that you think will help you further? 

I come from an advertising background, hence I know the nuances of advertising on social media; while Harry comes from a Marketing background. Both our skills are used in taking the blog forward. Yes, in fact, blogging has taught me more than any job has. Right from SEO, SEM, WordPress, building a website- the list goes on. I keep on learning. Which is why we have also started a Blog Academy where we want to teach new bloggers or budding bloggers all about blogging and what all it involves.

• What’s the one thing you’ve done that has increased your traffic the most? 

 Definitely SEO. Though it’s a time-consuming process, taking efforts to increase organic traffic is worthwhile.

• Many people start their blog and discontinue after some time. What do you think is the most frustrating aspect of blogging?

• Did you face any obstacle? Please share about your early blogging mistakes if any

Yes, of course. I didn’t know any aspect of blogging when I started out. I learned everything on my own- from building a website to learning SEO. Of course, since I & Harry are a team it’s easier. But still, there was a lot of stumbling involved. Some of my mistakes where to undersell me, being taken advantage of by PR’s and brands. Even if you’re new, only take on work which will benefit you & your blog in some way. Don’t get sucked into the freebies collaborations- at least not all the time. Which is why we have started our Blog Academy where we council new bloggers and help them with their blogging journey.

• So far, which is the most awesome moment in your blogging journey?

 There have been a few: when we were invited to Serai, Bangalore on an all-paid expenses trip because they liked our blog and work when we reached our first 10k followers on Instagram when we were recently invited to Nepal to review a 5-star property. There have been many proud moments 🙂

• What are your next blogging plans?

I feel so honored to be a part Etechexplorer. Thank you, Etechexplorer team, for choosing me.
