This issue is brought to you by Stay22.
Hey, wildly successful travelpreneur!
This is the 100th issue of this newsletter and I want to celebrate by answering all your questions.
This can be about pitching or negotiating with travel brands, working with hotels, sponsorships paid partnerships, or anything related to being a travel content creator and earning an income online.
I will be available to answer your questions all week, so feel free to jump in whenever you get a chance to read this issue. 😊
Finally, I just want to take a moment to thank you for being a part of this community and giving me a space in your inbox each week.
I don’t take that responsibility lightly and I appreciate you endlessly! So, THANK YOU! 🙏
