How to Get Paid for Shooting Hotel Content
How to actually get paidš
š Youāre gonna want to save this
First off if you want to get free collabs thereās tons of creators showing that, but this is how to actually make a living shooting for hotels.
1. Learn how to make content that actually works.
Learn the typical resort sales process and why they need you in the first place. HINT: they need to attract eyeballs, nurture eyeballs, and convert eyeballs into guests.
This is where most creators go wrong. Making something that looks cool is not the same as making something that sells.
2. Offer to shoot for free for 2-3 properties to get the ball rolling (ideally ones that obviously need help). Itās not to get a free stay. Itās to get proof of results for a real client. It is nearly impossible to get paid jobs without this. (You wouldnāt buy something on Amazon with no reviews right?)
Done 2-3 shoots? Great nowā¦
3. Over deliver
Surprise them. Make something they didnāt ask for. Throw in a few extra deliverables. You donāt have to go crazy but any over delivering helps especially in an industry of entitled influencers.
Finished a few shoots?
4. Ask for feedback
Ask what the client liked about working with you, how they liked the content, what could be better etc. be prepared for them to be honest and it may not feel great sometimes but if you take the criticism itāll make you better.
Got that? Cool nowā¦
5. Compile the client feedback, results and content you created into a case study (I have a video on my YT about this). This will be your claim youāll use in future pitches.
Donāt move on until you have 2-3, thenā¦
6. Reach out to potential clients and offer them a free strategy session to achieve their dream result (more bookings, lower ad cost etc) using your new case study as social proof.
To start expect 20% reply and 2-5% call booking rate.
7. Book some calls share the strategy, close deals, get killer results, and grow your business.

Be blessed and stay stoked šš¤
