It’s incredible how working with brands and tourism boards can increase your income, especially nowadays.

Honestly, if you would have told me back in 2011 when I started Jessie on a Journey that one day I'd actually get PAID to go on press trips, I would have laughed (and then cried, because I worked way too much for way too little back then).

BUT HERE'S THE THING...

It’s not as easy as simply sending out an email to a tourism board saying you have a blog.

And while influencer networks can certainly help you find opportunities, you’ll also need a strategy in place to land them and make paid press trips a reality.

The good news:

I've got the PERFECT strategy for you right here, in an incredible masterclass I like to call:

How To Land Paid Press Trips As A Travel Blogger

Stop working for exposure, and start truly getting paid to travel

So many travel bloggers give away their talents for free, when the reality is the content you produce on a press trip is worth money.

The best part:

Even if you have a smaller following, you can still land press trips by incorporating a few key elements into your blog.

And I’m SO passionate about helping you start landing press trips — especially paid ones — I’m offering you the masterclass at a special limited-time discount.

As in, 45% off.

This masterclass + all bonuses usually sells for $149.

But for the next hour, you can grab it for just $81.95.

Keep in mind, I’ll be showing you the exact step-by-step system I use to continually get paid to travel. In fact, I make up to $5,000 per press trip!

 

There is nothing I love more than helping others with wanderlust in their hearts turn their blogs into their dream businesses, and I don’t want price to hold you back.

Inside this 2-hour masterclass, you’ll learn:

 

  • How to easily grow your Instagram with hundreds of new followers each week (while spending less than an hour each week on the platform!)

 

  • Simple ways to position yourself as a premium blogger that brands can’t wait to work with (even if you have a small following; case study included!)     

 

  • How to turn unpaid press trips into paid invites, even if the host has no budget (templates included!)

 

  • Easy but effective ways to impress your press trip host (and get invited back on another!)

 

  • How to create a rate card that helps you earn more than your base package (template included, and I’ll be sharing my rates!)

 

  • What you need to do to gain more confidence asking to be paid for your services (template included!)

 

  • How to protect your privacy when pitching (so you don't get publicly shamed!)

 

  • And more!

Over the years I’ve worked with thousands of travel bloggers, helping them to increase their income and build their dream businesses.

 

And now, I’d love to help you too.

JESSIE'S MASTERCLASS IS SUPER INSIGHTFUL AND FILLED WITH ACTIONABLE ADVICE THAT EVEN NEW BLOGGERS CAN PUT INTO ACTION RIGHT AWAY TO SEE RESULTS!

What I found very helpful were the pitch templates and case studies, especially the case study where a PR rep shares what brands and tourism boards are looking for when partnering with bloggers. I can’t wait to put all the tips and advice I’ve learned from this masterclass into action...I’m already planning to make some tweaks to my blog to make it more searchable and attractive to brands!

I'M LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES LIFE OF BEING A TRAVEL BLOGGER AND CONTENT CREATOR THAT OTHER SUCCESSFUL OR VETERAN TRAVEL BLOGGERS KEEP TO THEMSELVES!

The provided resource list alone is invaluable, as are the recommendations for travel events, press trips, photography classes and so much more. As bloggers we wear many hats, from content creators to editors to website troubleshooters to photographers, and the resource list introduces you to helpful digital apps and tools you've probably never heard of. I would absolutely recommend this masterclass! I know that not every newbie blogger has the funds to invest in classes, but this was an investment and I'm glad I took the plunge. It's been very useful!

I feel much more confident now and have even landed partnerships and work without a big following!

I love everything Jessie puts out into the world because I know the value she provides. She offers real-life experience without hypotheticals as well as real tips and examples to achieve your desired goals. I chose this program because I know Jessie is a well-respected expert in the blogging field, and will always provide practical information for new bloggers. I also love being able to reference back to the class and programs if I need to review anything. My biggest takeaway from the masterclass was how to actually pitch to and land press trips. I never really knew how to do this or who to reach out to. But now I'm very clear as to what value I bring, and what tourism boards are looking for as a result of this class. My biggest struggle before the masterclass was just not knowing where to start, or how to start. I feel much more confident now and have even landed partnerships and work without a big following! I've seen the most growth in my business in my ability and confidence to pitch. I understand the cycles of the year better, and I am not offended if I don't receive an answer to my emails/pitches.

Hi, I'm Jessie!

jessie festa, solo female travel blogger

before I was implementing the strategies I now teach Inside how to land paid press trip as a travel blogger...  

I wanted nothing more than to be able to turn my passion for travel into a career.

But, it was exhausting!

Five blog posts per week, days editing photos, and hours crafting social media shares published across way too many platforms left me with little to show.

And when I say "little," I mean I was doing a happy dance if even my mom left a comment on one of my blog posts. 

Sure, I was traveling, but I was spending more time searching for WiFi than actually enjoying the places I was visiting.

While I was working longer hours than ever, I was earning almost nothing. 

Isn’t freedom from the 9-to-5 supposed to be fun? 

So, I changed my strategy (which, let's be real, I never had in the first place).

I analyzed my daily schedule, cut out time-wasting tasks, and focused on what would grow my traffic, community and income.

I also learned to value my work and myself as a content creator.

Today, I work about half as many hours, but make a full-time salary through my blog.

You don’t need luck to turn your travel blog into a profitable business.

You need a clear strategy and proven action plan that works. And through this masterclass, you’ll get just that.

Prefer a video introduction?

Oh, hey there. 🙂
