A new creator platform, write for Ori Magazine and *free* flights?!
Issue #111
This issue is brought to you by Stupid Simple SEO.
Hey travelpreneur!
As Black Friday seems to have started early this year, the format for this week’s newsletter is slightly different.
👀 Below you’ll find:
⭐ Specially curated for you Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals.
⭐ A HUGE selection of opportunities for travel content creators.
⭐ Some bonus opportunities, giveaways, and generally fun things I’ve found online.
If you want to see my full list of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals that I’m updating and adding to as new deals become available, head to this page!
Since I’m nearing my due date (and it’s basically the festive season), this newsletter will be sent out intermittently for the time being.
However, I have decided to share the best and most time-sensitive opportunities that land in my inbox immediately in both my Wildly Successful Traveelpreneurs Facebook Group and on my Threads profile - so much more fun than Instagram IMHO.
So make sure to join and connect with me in these two online spaces to stay up to date and be the first to know about exciting travel creator opportunities!
