Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Full-Time Travel Content Creator
No gatekeeping here š
This is the EXACT path I took to become a full time travel content creator for the last 5 years now.
And you donāt need any followers to make this work!
š BTW if you want a more in depth breakdown comment āPLAYBOOKā and Iāll send you the full guide free.
1. Decide what you want to specialize in. For me it started as landscape. Then I realized mountains donāt pay the bills so I switched to luxury hotels and cruises.
2. Breakdown a common problem in the industry and how you can actually help them solve it with content. Saying I can make you videos wonāt cut it. You need to solve a real problem to get paid.
I like to start with where theyāre at now, where they want to be, and then jot down the steps they need to take in between to get from A to B. Donāt rush this because this is key!
3. Get results. Do some work for free (donāt ask to stay for free just do it) with the purpose of building portfolio and getting an example of the transformation you detailed in step 2. You know you got it right when you have an awesome testimonial from your ideal client! Now get 2 more.
4. Get attention. If you know you can get results but you arenāt getting jobs itās probably because no one knows about you. Thereās a million ways to get attention but I personally use the precision prospecting framework.
5. Sell the dream. Remember step 2? This is where you need to be able to explain this to a client over the phone. Understand where theyāre at now and where they want to be. Then sell them content as the way to get there by leveraging your previous results.
6. Results. Making content for brands is a complete waste of time for you and them if it doesnāt get results. Study great Ads, websites, social pages, etc. Why do they work? Reverse engineer and apply to your stuff.
7. Scale to retainer. Once the client is happy, sell them into a monthly commitment so you get paid every month and they have consistent content.
