If you’re planning on recording your travels in writing and want to find the best ways of getting your stories read by other eager explorers, then this is the best group for you. Every member is a small-time blogger (for the time being) who are willing to share their own writing tips to grow each other’s blogs.

While the group doesn’t allow you to promote your blog posts, the members will be able to connect you to other sites, bloggers, and publicists that can help you to gain more readers.

Unlike Under 1000 Club, this Facebook group will allow you to share your work and the work of others that you admire.

Unlike the groups mentioned above, this site is purely for sharing. So don’t go asking travel questions or request to collaborate with people over the group homepage as you may risk getting blocked.

As you may have guessed, this page is all about capturing your travels through a lens. However, this group focuses more on swapping tips and tricks, rather than a platform to promote your work.

The group admin is pretty strict on not promoting your work on the site, but only because they want to keep it focused on developing each member as a brilliant photographer.
