    Hi. My name is Christian, I am 34 years old and I photograph with full frame dslr and fixed lenses. I studied a master's degree in photography at a university. I want to become an influencer in tourism. I want to be able to support my photo equipment from the advertising that I will do on the blog. I would like your opinion with advice on this desire. I started with a blog that lets you look over it and tell me how to improve it http://4photographers.blogspot.com/

    Hello and welcome!
    Regarding your blog, I have a few suggestions, 1. There is no identity of the photographer. 2. There are some random non-photo posts. 3. Why does the blog have links back to its same page 4. photo topics generally are academic to the feel of being notes from a photo assignment. Right now the name 4phtographers sounds like you are aimed at other photographers but the topics scratch the surface of lessons they would have covered in their early undergrad classes. Now You could take the academic feel and run with it but then I suggest you go the extra mile to make the blog a teaching tool with your own experience, An example of this would be David Hobby's strobist blog. Which is very focused and acts as a teaching tool. If your focus is tourism I would start a blog focusing on photographs and information about the places you are promoting.

    In short my suggestion would be focused and deliberate with posts to the specific goal of the blog this will help you define the value for the reader you are trying to attract to the website. I also stress that your site have an identity, take my example of David Hobby, his identity is clear throughout the blog. The idea here is to create a brand for your idea and value to drive traffic.
