Top Google+ Communities for your Travel Articles

Great articles deserve to be well promoted and to reach a wide audience. Nowadays, it is not enough to just write an amazing piece – a travel guide, sharing an experience, posting incredible photos of gorgeous places, etc. – you have to also promote those articles. Sharing them on social media networks is one of the things we can all do with a minimum effort. Google+ is one of the networks I use to promote my articles. I have a dedicated page for Travel – Moments in Time (of course I am recommending it to you – adding it to your circles 😉 ), and a personal account. But I go the extra mile and, depending on the topic of the article, I promote them in different travel communities. Here are the top Google+ communities for your travel articles. I am also recommending you The Traveling Kind, the community my friend Alina from Travel Tweaks and I launched a little while ago.

These are the best general Google+ communities for travel bloggers. There are also some communities focused on different cities or types of travel. You can always search for those other communities relevant for you. For instance, I also use one focused on Paris or on Europe. Which google+ communities do you use to promote your articles?
