Happy May, you wildly successful travelpreneur!
We’ve officially completed the 2 month long 2023 pitching tips series and I must say, it seems that you loved it - I have never received as many replies to this newsletter as I did while sending those tips.
Remember that if you missed any of the tips during the series, you can sign up to receive them in your inbox via my free mini email course (or share it with your creator friends).
As I mentioned last week, I’ve been dealing with some creative burnout. So, I took a step back from creating Pitch Alchemy last week.
It gave me the space I needed to look at other aspects of my business and dream up some better ways that I could support you with your pitching efforts.
This gave me the following idea which I shared in the Wildly Successful Travelpreneurs Facebook Group:
So, you’ll want to get ready to start pitching in July as we work through one of these pitching challenges. You’ll have accountability to take action with the group and support from me along the way too.
I’m honestly so excited about this!
Also, I’ll be launching an affiliate program for the Wildly Successful Travelpreneurs membership and all my other products soon (probably by next week). I’m taking part in my biz mentor’s (Lizzy Goddard) Get it Done Week for Affiliate Programs.
All in all, lots of exciting things coming your way soon!
However, since our month of travel starts this month, this week, and next, there will be no new published content (but you can check out the blog anyway) and I’ll simply be sharing…
