January opportunities for travel content creators
Issue #115
This issue is brought to you by Keysearch.
Hey there, travelpreneur!
This is likely the last issue of WST for a little while as I get ready to welcome my baby girl into the world within the next week or two.
I’ll likely be back with another issue at the end of February or early March.
However, make sure to follow me on Threads where I’ll continue to post the opportunities (when I can) so that you don’t miss out on anything!
Since I’m just about ready to pop, I’m keeping things short and sweet this week… let’s get right into the good stuff 👇👇👇
