This issue is brought to you by the Get Serious About Sales Summit!
Ever noticed how some creators seem to snag the coolest travel gigs while others get left in the dust?
It’s not just luck – it’s strategy.
Here’s the thing: not every brand is your perfect match. Like that one hostel that seemed great online but was a total letdown IRL, mismatched partnerships lead nowhere.
The game-changer is simple – research.
Digging into brands that vibe with your travel ethos isn’t just smart; it’s essential. It’s like finding that hidden gem of a café in a new city – it just clicks.
Why does this work?
Because when you resonate with a brand, your pitch becomes more than just a cold email; it’s a conversation starter. It’s about sharing values, not just swapping business cards.
So, how do you apply this?
Start with your own content.
What’s your niche? Adventure travel? Luxury escapes? Eco-tourism?
Pin that down, then hunt for brands that align with your story. Check out their socials, recent campaigns, and company ethos.
And if you nail this? Expect doors to open.
You’ll find yourself in sync with brands that get you, leading to collaborations that feel more like passion projects than work.
Plus, your audience will notice the authenticity, and that’s the real jackpot.
