Why Buy Travel Insurance?
Don't be a statistic. One in five travelers experiences a travel problem during their trip, and travelers without insurance have to rely on friends and family or a limited savings account to get them through these tough times. And while it's tempting to go without travel insurance, it can leave you financially vulnerable if something goes wrong.
That's why we've put together this post all about why you should buy travel insurance, complete with info on what actually happens when you don't purchase the coverage.

Your introduction needs to be less than 200 words long. You may have multiple paragraphs in your introduction but please do not exceed 200 words total for the entire introduction section of your blog post. This section sets up your post, gives readers a preview of what they will learn from it and includes an attention-grabbing title. Grab readers' attention in the first few sentences by explaining what they will learn in the rest of the post.

Your subheading needs to be less than 55 words long. In most instances, you can use H2 headings for subheadings (H2 headings are any level 2 heading that doesn't have an actual number before it).

Your first paragraph needs to be less than 150 words long. Your first paragraph should be easy to read and provide an overview of the topic you will explore in your blog post. A good introduction will draw readers into your post, compel them to continue reading and increase your chances of publishing on HubPages! Don't worry about every word from the beginning; it's more important to get the reader to read the next few paragraphs.

Your second paragraph needs to be less than 150 words long. Your second paragraph should set up your blog post and go into more detail about the topic you will explore in your post.

Your third paragraph (or so) needs to be less than 150 words long. Your third paragraph should lay out the evidence and reasons why you believe what you are saying is true, especially if you're going to argue against an opposing point of view. You can also use this paragraph to connect the points of argument you'll be making in the rest of your post.

Your fourth paragraph needs to be less than 150 words long. This time, the reader is likely to already understand and agree with everything that has been said so far, so you now have a chance to build up suspense and intrigue so that the reader will stay engaged with your post as they learn more. Test their patience with a brief cliffhanger to keep them interested.

Your fifth paragraph needs to be less than 150 words long. Your fifth paragraph is another chance for you to hold onto the reader's interest and build them up for the conclusion of your blog post. You can use this paragraph as an opportunity to restate the main points of your post in different ways, repeat key information or offer more reasons why your readers should take advantage of what you're recommending.

Your conclusion needs to be less than 100 words long. Your conclusion should tie together the information you've shared in your blog post and provide a final thought on the subject. It's important that you do not leave your reader with unanswered questions or with something hanging, so be sure to wrap up any loose ends. If there is another step involved from what you have written, briefly explain it here so that your blog post can function as a complete piece of content.

The post needs to be at least 50 words long. The word count ensures that your post is of a standard in length and content. Your post should be easy to read and relevant to your chosen niche. Make sure there's something worthwhile in the text; without a strong argument, no one will read it or share it with their friends. Use this section to briefly describe what you are posting and why it matters or why you chose this topic in particular.

Your post needs at least one image. You can add an image in Step 5 of the Publish tab of the HubPages website in your post. It's important that you have an eye-catching title for your image so your readers will know what it is before they click on it, which is why it should be included in your post as a H2 heading.
