The VIP Advantage

Stop wasting hours on prep work and start focusing on the fun stuff that actually moves the needle.

While anyone can search the internet, the highest-paying gigs and best press trips are rarely posted publicly—they live in private networks and direct contact lists.

Since 2011, I’ve built an extensive network of industry contacts who send me these opportunities every week.

Through this newsletter, I’m giving you insider access to my personal rolodex so you can save time, bypass the gatekeepers, and start earning now.

What You'll Get:

free email course

Every Monday, you'll receive
five opportunities straight to your inbox, like: 

  • Press trips
  • Paid writing assignments
  • Branded campaigns
  • Sponsored content
  • Location independent jobs
  • High-commission affiliate programs
  • Paid content creation gigs
  • Speaking and podcast guest applications
  • And more!

Bonus:

New subscribers can get one issue of their choice for free as a sample.

After that, it's $9.99/month or $99.99/year to stay a subscriber—cancel any time!

Say goodbye to confusion and frustration, and hello to growth and profits, as all opportunities help to increase your visibility, email list, and profits.

Hi, I'm Jessie

what type of traveler are you

I started blogging in 2011, and since then have grown a profitable (and fun!) business that allows me to travel the world -- and get paid doing it. 

I'm not talking just free trips here. I'm talking actual money that allows me to earn a viable income doing what I love. 

A little bit about me:
  • I've worked with renowned brands like Qantas Airways, Mastercard, South African Tourism, Marriott, Tourism Australia and many more. 
  • I've been featured in top publications like USA TODAY, CNN, Business Insider and AOL Travel, as well as a web series with Bravo and a featured guest on BBC Travel (TV). 
  • I've spoken at notable conferences like the New York Travel Festival, iSugar and FindSpark. 
  •  I've been coaching bloggers -- both those just starting out and those who've been at it for a while -- since 2014. Each year, I help hundreds of bloggers turn their websites into dream businesses that let them comfortably live a location independent lifestyle.
