I know I am very fortunate to make my living this way. It\u2019s not all luck, though. I possess an extremely strong work ethic and am relentlessly dedicated to my clients. Believe me, luxury travel writing is not all jet-setting and gadding about while sipping Champagne.<\/p>\n<p>I just shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/anntranfashion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>5 tips on my Instagram<\/strong><\/a> account answering, &#8220;What it&#8217;s like to be a full-time luxury travel writer?&#8221; I\u2019ve expanded them to give you a better glimpse into my universe and to help you land the job of your dreams.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8355\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8355\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriter.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8355 colorbox-8354 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriter.jpg 450w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriter-225x300.jpg 225w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 350px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 350\/467;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8355 colorbox-8354\" src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriter.jpg 450w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriter-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8355\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paris, France<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Be_selective\"><\/span>1) <strong>Be selective<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be all over the map. If you choose luxury travel, then stay with it and post accordingly. You are building your brand, so be choosy in what you share on your pages and what assignments you accept. Make sure everything adds value to your brand as well as the brand that you will be promoting. Look at the big picture of your travel writing career rather than chasing individual assignments. I have turned down endorsements that don&#8217;t match with my lifestyle and brand image. It\u2019s not always easy turning down money, but you must look past today and to the future.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on this?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8359\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sicily5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterSicily.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8359 colorbox-8354 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sicily5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterSicily.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sicily5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterSicily.jpg 450w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sicily5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterSicily-200x300.jpg 200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 350px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 350\/525;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8359 colorbox-8354\" src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sicily5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterSicily.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sicily5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterSicily.jpg 450w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sicily5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterSicily-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parco Archeologico di Selinunte, Sicily<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Over_deliver\"><\/span>2) <strong>Over deliver<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Always over deliver on everything asked of you.

Where do I get my energy? I love what I do! You must love what you do or you will not want to get up!<\/p>\n<p>Background story: I worked in cyber security in my previous life. Stress drove me to take a year off to unwind and travel. I work a lot harder now than at my corporate job. Recently, I was pretty ill on an assignment. I pushed myself and did my job for 5 days straight while feeling sick and tired. This is what it takes, and it is completely worth it to me. I am grateful for being able to do what I love.<\/p>\n<p>How do you maintain a work-life balance with your clients?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8361\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8361\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CostaRica5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterCostaRica.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8361 size-full colorbox-8354 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CostaRica5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterCostaRica.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CostaRica5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterCostaRica.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CostaRica5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterCostaRica-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/333;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8361 size-full colorbox-8354\" src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CostaRica5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterCostaRica.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CostaRica5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterCostaRica.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CostaRica5TipstoliveintheworldasaLuxuryTravelWriterCostaRica-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Springs Resort and Spa &#8211; Arenal, Costa Rica<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Create_informative_and_useful_content\"><\/span>3) <strong>Create informative and useful content<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t just plop a picture on Instagram.

Typically, I take loads of photos and videos to use after I return from my trips. Try not to post the same image from the same location, or at least change it up with useful captions for your fans. Change up your content. I suggest incorporating videos into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>What tips do you have about being consistent?<\/p>\n<p>The above 5 tips aren\u2019t in order of importance. I think they are equally important and you can\u2019t be a successful luxury travel writer without incorporating all of them into your product. It\u2019s necessary to work on these consistently to attract the assignments you want.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, read a lot. Read everything \u2013 bios, captions, posts, and between the lines. Research someone before suggesting collaborating on a project. A follower emailed me a personalized message after reading my Instagram tips. In return, I included something positive I learned while perusing their work.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like any career, becoming a successful luxury travel writer doesn&#8217;t happen overnight. It requires hard work, focus, and persistence. You can do it if you have the drive and pay your dues.
