Aug 31 2010 in Headline, Learning Center by Gear Up and Play

Do you want to create a travel blog? Gear Up and Play lets you do just that by allowing you to actually become part of a Travel Blog Community. Each member has a unique profile as showcased in this live example.

Your profile can include such things as a personal bio, author portfolio, work-education, travel history/prospects, interests and more. In addition your profile will highlight all your community activity, group involvement, shared photos and links as well as blog posts.

The GUAP Community Travel Blog Advantage

So what are the advantages of a community travel blog at GUAP. Lets touch on these briefly because there are many.

100% Revenue Sharing: GUAP is optimized and ready to roll with Adsense. Simply enter your Adsense Publishing ID to take control of the ad space surrounding your blog post. Considering some sites share 0% with you we think that’s huge.
You are part of the Parent Blog: No subdomains here, you are part of the big picture and your post will make the front page of GUAP for a limited time. You might even make headline or spotlight. The point is you are part of something bigger then a lonely web page in some obscure corner of a website. You are the main bread and butter feeding a growing community.
Be part of a community: Meet new people, participate in groups and network yourself with others that share your passion. Of course, but does a community travel blog benefit me over a individual private blog? It certainly does. You see, private travel blogs always seem to share one commonality, they get stale. Sometimes your on the road, sometimes your just busy with work, maybe its just life. Whatever it is don’t get stuck trying to keep a audience 100% of the time. Let others in the community feed your audience with fresh content while your sipping sangria in Spain. So relax, we got your back, that’s what friends are for.
Writers Workshop: Participate in the writers workshop along side other authors. A Discussion on writing tips, ideas, tutorials and finding success.
GUAP Points: As your participation on the Community grows so do your GUAP points. You can view these any time from your profile. You get GUAP points for creating a post, participating in groups, commenting on others post and much more. Currently you achieve Ranks based on your point total and every new writer starts as a “Home Body”. We plan to expand on this in the future.
Contests: Watch for prize contests in the future.
Simplicity: This is key. We take care of all the heavy lifting so you can focus more on what you do best, traveling and writing. GUAP is networked with facebook, twitter, digg, buzz and the list keeps growing. GUAP is pretty, neat and professional. GUAP is SEO optimized and ready to rank in search engines. We manage all the non fun stuff so you don’t have to.
Powered by WordPress: WordPress is powerful and its a great platform to blog from. Google loves wordpress and that’s good for me and it’s good for you.
