Today’s issue is brought to you by The Genius Blogger’s Toolkit!
It's time for a friendly reminder that could change the game for your brand collaborations.
Are you ready?
Here it is: Always send at least 3 follow-up emails after your initial pitch if you're serious about working with travel brands. 📧🤝
Why, you ask? 🤔
Well, because if you're not following up, you might be leaving valuable opportunities on the table! 🙅♀️✨
In fact, here's a little secret: Most responses tend to roll in after that second or even third follow-up email you send. 💌📈
So, what are you waiting for? 🤷♂️✉️
Hit that "send" button on your follow-up email right now, and trust me, you'll thank me later! 🙌💼
That’s why we always end with a week focussed entirely on follow-ups during my monthly themed pitching challenges in the Wildly Successful Travelpreneurs membership!
By the way, this is your last chance to join us for September’s pitching challenge - we’re pitching Tourism Boards! (There’s still time to catch up…)
Ready to take your blog full-time?
Then you need The Genius Blogger’s Toolkit!
Purchasing bundled resources like this is my favorite way to get my hands on the knowledge I need to improve my blog (and biz) and increase my earnings!
And The Genius Blogger’s Toolkit never disappoints! That’s why I snag it every single year…
This year's Toolkit contains 56 digital products worth a whopping $5645.93 - not counting all the bonuses.
But you’ll pay just $97. That’s 98% OFF!
Pretty incredible, right?
