Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to Influencer Confidential by Sidewalker Daily. My name is
- 0:04Speaker 1: Nina Zeta and I will be your host. I love
- 0:07Speaker 1: working with brands and influencers on all things business strategy.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Are you ready to learn what it takes to work
- 0:13Speaker 1: in this influencer industry and see behind the currentin Well,
- 0:16Speaker 1: let's jump in. If you want to become a travel influencer,
- 0:23Speaker 1: you are in luck because we are going to talk
- 0:26Speaker 1: about step by step strategies that you can implement to
- 0:29Speaker 1: launch this side of your business. Now. Notice I call
- 0:33Speaker 1: it a business because being a travel influencer is a
- 0:35Speaker 1: full on business nowadays that I have a ton of
- 0:39Speaker 1: experience on the brand side, on the tourism board side,
- 0:42Speaker 1: on the hotel side, paying influencers, creators UGC, creators for
- 0:46Speaker 1: content or sponsored giveaways and all in between. And I
- 0:50Speaker 1: feel like I'm going to be able to share with
- 0:51Speaker 1: you not only the brand perspective, but the perspective of
- 0:54Speaker 1: the creator community I have created throughout the last ten years.
- 0:57Speaker 1: When I think if the word influencer to me truly
- 1:00Speaker 1: just someone who has influence, someone who drives clicks, conversions, views.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Influence is more like the magazine right when we're thinking
- 1:07Speaker 1: about circulation and eyeballs versus content creator who's creating content
- 1:13Speaker 1: and not so focused on their following. So many people
- 1:16Speaker 1: are doing both. There's creators that start off as creators
- 1:19Speaker 1: become influencers. There's some people that never want to go
- 1:21Speaker 1: the influencer route but still want to travel and work
- 1:24Speaker 1: with brands, and then there's people who really just want
- 1:26Speaker 1: to grow their communities and build audiences. Whichever route you choose,
- 1:29Speaker 1: there's going to be business for you in those choices,
- 1:32Speaker 1: and I think today is going to help you understand
- 1:34Speaker 1: the steps to take to treat this as a business
- 1:36Speaker 1: to build out your travel influencer journey and career. One
- 1:39Speaker 1: major thing that everyone listening in needs to know is
- 1:42Speaker 1: that being a travel influencer isn't about exploring the world.
- 1:45Speaker 1: It's about building a business that can move with you.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Because businesses don't turn off while you're traveling. You guys
- 1:53Speaker 1: are in such a unique space. Some of the travel
- 1:55Speaker 1: creators I work with are constantly on the move, jet
- 1:59Speaker 1: setting from destiny to destination. So that means you, guys,
- 2:02Speaker 1: need to set up your businesses to move with you,
- 2:06Speaker 1: to flow with you, not something that you do once
- 2:08Speaker 1: you get back to your hometown. Now, like I mentioned,
- 2:10Speaker 1: we're going to dive deep into strategy step by step
- 2:13Speaker 1: to help you in your travel influencer journey. But I
- 2:15Speaker 1: do just want to say that being a travel influencer
- 2:18Speaker 1: is a decision. That's the first piece of it. Is
- 2:21Speaker 1: making a decision to commit to yourself, to invest in
- 2:24Speaker 1: yourself into treating this like the business that it really is.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Because I'll tell you, as someone who has paid travel
- 2:29Speaker 1: influencers ten thousand dollars plus partnerships, I don't want to
- 2:33Speaker 1: work with a hobbyist. I want to work with another business.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And I think it's so important for the creators listening
- 2:38Speaker 1: in to treat this as the business that it is. Yes,
- 2:41Speaker 1: we're going to talk about strategy, but we're also going
- 2:43Speaker 1: to talk about the investments that you need to make
- 2:45Speaker 1: to make sure that this is a sustainable business for
- 2:47Speaker 1: you and that you're able to do it all around
- 2:49Speaker 1: the world. Now, whether you're editing reels in Mexico, sending
- 2:53Speaker 1: brand pitches from Bali, or engaging with your community in Italy,
- 2:57Speaker 1: one thing that is going to be certain is that
- 2:59Speaker 1: as a travel you cannot afford to not be online.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Being offline is just not an option for you. Guys
- 3:05Speaker 1: like you have to stay connected. And I think about
- 3:07Speaker 1: all the travel creators in my industry, especially those that
- 3:10Speaker 1: are hitting those seven figure years and are truly successful
- 3:13Speaker 1: in this industry. They're not offline just because they're in
- 3:15Speaker 1: a place that has spotty reception or dodgy Wi Fi.
- 3:18Speaker 1: And that's why I'm so excited to start by sharing
- 3:20Speaker 1: with you a little bit about today's sponsor, gig Sky.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Gigsky is our eSIM company of choice that keeps creators
- 3:26Speaker 1: connected in over one hundred and twenty countries. Now, if
- 3:29Speaker 1: you've never used an eSIM before, basically it is the
- 3:32Speaker 1: most simplest thing ever, and it actually blew my mind
- 3:35Speaker 1: when I got to using it for my own business.
- 3:38Speaker 1: It's basically a digital SIM card that lives in your phone,
- 3:41Speaker 1: so you're not like swapping out simcards with every destination
- 3:44Speaker 1: that you're visiting. You literally just download the plan from
- 3:47Speaker 1: the app, directly type in the destination that you're going
- 3:50Speaker 1: to be at, and voila, you are able to connect.
- 3:53Speaker 1: So what you see on the screen right here is
- 3:55Speaker 1: a trip that I did to Mexico and a trip
- 3:57Speaker 1: that I did to Canada. I was in Mexico for
- 3:59Speaker 1: seven days. I was in Canada also for seven days.
- 4:03Speaker 1: It was twelve dollars a day using my traditional roaming.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Now I'm no mathematician, so let's go ahead and pull
- 4:08Speaker 1: up the calculator. So let's do twelve dollars a day,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and let's do it for the fourteen days total, I
- 4:15Speaker 1: spent one hundred and sixty eight dollars in roaming. That's
- 4:18Speaker 1: what I literally had on my statement because I did
- 4:21Speaker 1: not have an eSIM in my business. Now let's go
- 4:24Speaker 1: ahead and look at gigs Guy's plan. If I was
- 4:26Speaker 1: to have bought the three month package for twenty five gigabytes,
- 4:31Speaker 1: I would have literally paid like a third for three months,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and I paid one hundred and something dollars for literally
- 4:38Speaker 1: fourteen days. So from a math perspective, from an efficiency's perspective,
- 4:43Speaker 1: from a business owner perspective, not only did I lose money,
- 4:46Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking efficiently in my business. So that's when
- 4:49Speaker 1: you're thinking as a business owner, like ways to stay,
- 4:51Speaker 1: you know, on top of your expenses and think smarter
- 4:54Speaker 1: roaming and those charges associated is a big cost saving
- 4:58Speaker 1: when you have an ESUM like a literally if you
- 5:01Speaker 1: travel just like one week and a month you make
- 5:02Speaker 1: your money back. So that's how you need to think
- 5:04Speaker 1: about it. I absolutely love this map when you just
- 5:07Speaker 1: think about like roaming prices versus gigsky, Like if you
- 5:10Speaker 1: just compare what you're paying for gigsky versus roaming, like
- 5:13Speaker 1: you heard about my story specifically I spent so much
- 5:17Speaker 1: in just fourteen days of travel. But if you look
- 5:20Speaker 1: at this, like you know you're seeing roaming charges can
- 5:22Speaker 1: be eighty four dollars, but with gigsky you're paying twenty six.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Or maybe you're roaming in South Africa and you're paying
- 5:29Speaker 1: what I paid one hundred and sixty eight dollars, but
- 5:32Speaker 1: gigsky you would have paid forty five. So again, no
- 5:35Speaker 1: matter where you are in the world, no matter where
- 5:37Speaker 1: you're traveling, you were saving money, and that to me
- 5:40Speaker 1: is very important as a business owner. Also, like you
- 5:42Speaker 1: cannot be depending on spotty WiFi, you cannot depend on
- 5:46Speaker 1: like going back to the hotel, and like making sure
- 5:49Speaker 1: wi Fi works, like who knows where you're going to be.
- 5:51Speaker 1: As a travel influencer, your job is to be connected
- 5:54Speaker 1: to your community, to the brands that are coming through
- 5:56Speaker 1: the doors, to being able to have access to your
- 5:58Speaker 1: email because not having access is again I missed opportunity,
- 6:02Speaker 1: especially with brands that have tight turnarounds timelines are reaching
- 6:06Speaker 1: out to you. Being connected is the priority, and we
- 6:09Speaker 1: have a special code for you guys for fifty percent
- 6:11Speaker 1: off at the bottom. So being connected number one most
- 6:15Speaker 1: important for any travel influencer looking to do this as
- 6:18Speaker 1: a true business. The second thing when it comes to
- 6:20Speaker 1: being a travel influencer is understanding this theory of travel.
- 6:24Speaker 1: And so what I mean by that when we talk
- 6:26Speaker 1: about niching down, a lot of us think of travel
- 6:29Speaker 1: and we think of this big industry, but we don't
- 6:32Speaker 1: see that there's so many travel niches and that's where
- 6:35Speaker 1: the theory travel and comes up. So let me share
- 6:37Speaker 1: with you what I mean. So I'm heading over to
- 6:39Speaker 1: Instagram and I'm typing the words travel and right now
- 6:44Speaker 1: when I put in the words travel and in Instagram,
- 6:47Speaker 1: let's take a look at all of these different types
- 6:49Speaker 1: of travel acclouds right, travel and lifestyle. We have Florida
- 6:54Speaker 1: and travel, we had food and travel and hy see
- 6:59Speaker 1: and travel solo, travel girls, trip content creation. So why
- 7:04Speaker 1: I'm trying to share this idea of and is that
- 7:07Speaker 1: being a travel creator. You can no longer just be
- 7:10Speaker 1: travel like. You have to understand that as a creator again,
- 7:15Speaker 1: as a business, you are serving a subset of the world.
- 7:18Speaker 1: You're not going to make every single person happy, and
- 7:20Speaker 1: you're really trying to create for a specific type of person,
- 7:24Speaker 1: at least in the beginning. To get really really clear
- 7:27Speaker 1: on the type of content you're making as well as
- 7:30Speaker 1: the type of audience you're attracting the brand deals you
- 7:32Speaker 1: want to land. The niche is so important. Think of
- 7:36Speaker 1: it as like the pollen and you know it attracts
- 7:39Speaker 1: the bees. The bees are the brands. The bees are
- 7:41Speaker 1: the followers that you want. Having a very clear sense
- 7:45Speaker 1: is what is going to attract your ideal human into
- 7:48Speaker 1: your world, and kind of being all over the place
- 7:51Speaker 1: is something that is just going to hurt you. Now,
- 7:54Speaker 1: I know a lot of us want to talk about
- 7:55Speaker 1: a lot of things, but there is a way to
- 7:57Speaker 1: do this within your niche. So I'll give you an sample.
- 8:00Speaker 1: If you're a travel creator and you want to talk
- 8:03Speaker 1: about budget travel destinations, but you also want to talk
- 8:06Speaker 1: about I don't know something else, food or things that
- 8:09Speaker 1: you love to purchase, or things that you're just really
- 8:12Speaker 1: interested in. You can always tie it back to that
- 8:15Speaker 1: anchored piece of content of budget travel. You can find
- 8:19Speaker 1: ways to be like, hey, these are some recipes that
- 8:22Speaker 1: I tried when I was back packing through Eastern Europe
- 8:26Speaker 1: and I wanted to share them with you, as you know,
- 8:28Speaker 1: during my budgets traveling days. These are some of my
- 8:31Speaker 1: favorite recipes I tried as I was traveling. You see
- 8:33Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, there's ways to bring it back.
- 8:36Speaker 1: So remember your goal in being a travel influencer and
- 8:38Speaker 1: setting up your business is to really figure out your niche.
- 8:42Speaker 1: And if you have a hard time with that, try
- 8:44Speaker 1: thinking about the people that you want to help or affect,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and think about the action words surrounding these people. Are
- 8:50Speaker 1: you trying to help them? Are you trying to inspire them?
- 8:54Speaker 1: Are you trying to motivate them? Understanding that action word,
- 8:57Speaker 1: so like I action word the type of person, So
- 9:01Speaker 1: I help families, you know, travel with kids, and again
- 9:06Speaker 1: you can get really clear like kids under five because
- 9:09Speaker 1: again kids could be like a ten year old is
- 9:11Speaker 1: very different than traveling with two year olds. So don't
- 9:14Speaker 1: be afraid to make that decision, that commitment in the
- 9:17Speaker 1: beginning of your travel influencer journey to be really, really clear,
- 9:21Speaker 1: because it's going to help you know what type of
- 9:22Speaker 1: content to make. It's going to let you know the
- 9:24Speaker 1: type of brand you're going to reach out to. Having
- 9:26Speaker 1: the niche is like the guiding starts the northern Light, okay,
- 9:30Speaker 1: and that is going to help you along the way. Now,
- 9:32Speaker 1: one thing I think is very different than advice I
- 9:34Speaker 1: would have given years ago about starting your travel influencer
- 9:37Speaker 1: journey is choosing a platform that is joyful. So what
- 9:41Speaker 1: do I mean by that. I think back in the day,
- 9:43Speaker 1: people used to be like, well, I have to be
- 9:45Speaker 1: a blogger, or I have to be an Instagram or
- 9:46Speaker 1: I have to do YouTube. You don't have to do anything. Truly,
- 9:49Speaker 1: this is a decision that you're making. The reason you
- 9:52Speaker 1: are doing this business is because you want it to
- 9:54Speaker 1: be a joyful experience for you. So I am so
- 9:57Speaker 1: done and so tired of people doing things they feel
- 10:00Speaker 1: like they have to. Especially in entrepreneurship, you get to
- 10:03Speaker 1: choose the platforms that you love. So when I say
- 10:06Speaker 1: choose a platform that's joyful, choose a platform that you
- 10:09Speaker 1: feel like you can do. Like for me personally, I
- 10:12Speaker 1: love long form I love long form videos. I like podcasting.
- 10:15Speaker 1: It comes really natural to me having to put all
- 10:18Speaker 1: this information in a thirty second video. That's not my style.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Or someone else may be like, I could never do
- 10:24Speaker 1: a seventeen minute video. I rather die. I rather keep
- 10:27Speaker 1: it quick and easy, full of different little clips. That
- 10:30Speaker 1: works too. If you hate writing, don't store a blog right,
- 10:34Speaker 1: not because everyone else is telling you to do it.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Choose the platform in the medium of creativity that is joyful,
- 10:41Speaker 1: because when you enjoy the content that you are making,
- 10:44Speaker 1: you are not going to struggle in this space. You
- 10:46Speaker 1: will struggle it in other areas, but at least the
- 10:49Speaker 1: content that you're making will be a joyful experience. It
- 10:52Speaker 1: is also so much easier to stay consistent when you
- 10:54Speaker 1: enjoy the platform that you're on. Like if you love
- 10:56Speaker 1: writing and you start a substack and you're building your
- 10:59Speaker 1: travel in influence in the subseac world, you will continue
- 11:03Speaker 1: it and be consistent in it because you love to write.
- 11:05Speaker 1: And again, we see creators burn out when they do
- 11:07Speaker 1: the content that they don't love to do. So pick
- 11:10Speaker 1: a platform that feels good. And again, if you don't
- 11:13Speaker 1: know what that is, test them. Like so many people
- 11:15Speaker 1: are like, oh, like I'm scared of you two. But
- 11:16Speaker 1: then they get into it and they learn and they're like, oh, actually,
- 11:19Speaker 1: I love it. You won't know it's joyful until you've
- 11:21Speaker 1: tried them all. I've tried them all, so I know
- 11:23Speaker 1: that you know there's spaces that I like better than others.
- 11:25Speaker 1: So definitely put yourself out there and try different platforms
- 11:28Speaker 1: to help you figure out which one makes the most
- 11:31Speaker 1: sense for you. Now, let's talk about equipment. Nowadays, when
- 11:35Speaker 1: i am again coming from the brand side and seeing
- 11:37Speaker 1: contracts that are being sent to creators, and I'm working
- 11:41Speaker 1: with creators and seeing the contracts brands send, ninety percent
- 11:44Speaker 1: of so many sponsorships are being created on a phone.
- 11:48Speaker 1: The amount of partnerships I'm seeing that are being done
- 11:51Speaker 1: on the phone is crazy, truly, especially if you chose
- 11:55Speaker 1: short form video as your platform of choice. So if
- 11:59Speaker 1: you're like, I want to do TikTok and I want
- 12:01Speaker 1: to do Instagram from a production standpoint, y'all. These phones
- 12:04Speaker 1: are so high tech and have great cameras that we're
- 12:06Speaker 1: seeing creators see a lot of success just shooting off
- 12:09Speaker 1: the phone. They always say the best equipment is the
- 12:12Speaker 1: equipment you have. Don't let that be a barrier to
- 12:14Speaker 1: getting started. Now, when it comes to content in general,
- 12:18Speaker 1: the rule of thumb is audio is always a huge one.
- 12:21Speaker 1: You can have the best visuals in the world, but
- 12:22Speaker 1: if you have bad audio, that's going to hurt the videos.
- 12:25Speaker 1: So if you're going to invest in something, make sure
- 12:27Speaker 1: again you invest in maybe like a microphone and if
- 12:30Speaker 1: you wanted something a little higher up. And this is
- 12:32Speaker 1: the Dji Osmo, the pocket Osmo. We have it. I
- 12:36Speaker 1: love it. You can shoot vertical, you can shoot horizontal.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Comes with like a mic as well for the creator pack.
- 12:41Speaker 1: So it's really great for vlogging travel content. It's small,
- 12:44Speaker 1: so it's like not awkward when you're shooting in public.
- 12:46Speaker 1: So again, you don't need to get really crazy and
- 12:48Speaker 1: have all the drones and the DSLRs and all the cameras,
- 12:51Speaker 1: especially when you're just starting. I think something keeping it
- 12:54Speaker 1: simple and the beginning is the most important move. Again,
- 12:57Speaker 1: when it comes to equipment, having your eSIM set, like,
- 13:00Speaker 1: to me, that's like a tool that is a necessity
- 13:03Speaker 1: in the toolkit for travel influencers. Again because when you
- 13:07Speaker 1: are traveling, being able to stay connected with your community,
- 13:10Speaker 1: staying connected to brands, and just being connected like truly
- 13:13Speaker 1: being connected and not having to like help you find
- 13:16Speaker 1: Wi Fi somewhere. If you're on that path, it's not
- 13:18Speaker 1: a business for you and anyone here that is part
- 13:21Speaker 1: of our community. You guys are trying to really make
- 13:23Speaker 1: this into something, so you know, we've got to treat
- 13:25Speaker 1: it as a business it deserves to be. And what
- 13:27Speaker 1: makes gigs guys so special is that because they're a
- 13:30Speaker 1: mobile virtual network operator, it sets them apart from the
- 13:33Speaker 1: other eSIMs who are most of the time's eSIM resellers.
- 13:36Speaker 1: And this differentiation basically allows gigs guy to give amazing
- 13:40Speaker 1: customer support a way more secure environment. Theirs are all
- 13:44Speaker 1: USA provisions and superior performance and reliability, which, as a
- 13:48Speaker 1: travel influencer is a non negotiable. Need it in your toolkit.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Got to make sure that that's settled, all right. We've
- 13:54Speaker 1: talked about nicheing down, We've talked about choosing a platform
- 13:56Speaker 1: that actually promotes joy. We've talked about the tools you
- 13:59Speaker 1: need in your tale we'll kit. Something that I think
- 14:01Speaker 1: is also very important in the travel influencer journey is
- 14:04Speaker 1: understanding your monetization strategy from the front, because as you
- 14:08Speaker 1: are planning your business, you're not just trying to wing
- 14:10Speaker 1: it and be like what's going to happen? Like you
- 14:12Speaker 1: need to have your eyes on the price. Are you
- 14:14Speaker 1: going to be monetizing through brand deals? Are you going
- 14:16Speaker 1: to be selling your content doing UGC for brands? Are
- 14:19Speaker 1: you going to be selling itineraries? Are you going to
- 14:21Speaker 1: get into affiliate marketing? You know, the reason I'm putting
- 14:24Speaker 1: this in your guys's head is because as a travel
- 14:27Speaker 1: influencer specifically, having these monetization ideas is so important. So
- 14:33Speaker 1: you're not entering this new industry just kind of be
- 14:36Speaker 1: like what's going to happen? What am I going to do?
- 14:38Speaker 1: When you have clarity on how you want to monetize,
- 14:41Speaker 1: this also helps you create more strategically, so you're not
- 14:44Speaker 1: just creating like random videos. Like the content that you're
- 14:47Speaker 1: making is also working itself towards helping you with your monetization.
- 14:52Speaker 1: So like, for example, if you know that you are
- 14:54Speaker 1: going to create a guide to new your children's things
- 14:57Speaker 1: to do, like our friend Olga did he with the
- 15:01Speaker 1: mini jet Setter, she created this amazing e book like
- 15:04Speaker 1: this e itinerary. You know, it's a virtual PDF that
- 15:08Speaker 1: shares all the different ways and things to do in
- 15:10Speaker 1: New York with kids. This is going to help her
- 15:12Speaker 1: with our content because her content is going to probably
- 15:14Speaker 1: set it up to also help promote this ebook. So
- 15:18Speaker 1: knowing your monetization is so important as you decide to
- 15:22Speaker 1: start building out your travel influencer strategy. One thing in
- 15:26Speaker 1: the travel influencer world, specifically especially for those that are
- 15:29Speaker 1: just getting started, is don't be afraid to start local.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Like a lot of us do glamorize traveling internationally, and
- 15:36Speaker 1: a lot of creators get into this because they want
- 15:38Speaker 1: to travel internationally, but don't let that stop you from
- 15:41Speaker 1: starting local. Because when you do pitch international destinations, having
- 15:45Speaker 1: that local experience is always going to be a leg up.
- 15:47Speaker 1: You can build case studies around your work, you're able
- 15:50Speaker 1: to get testimonials, and local businesses need help too. So
- 15:54Speaker 1: if you're just getting started into the swing of things,
- 15:57Speaker 1: do not forget the importance of local. Local local. I think
- 16:00Speaker 1: local tourism boards, think the local chamber of commerce. Like
- 16:03Speaker 1: so many people, for example, want to work with visit
- 16:05Speaker 1: Florida or visit California at the state level, what about
- 16:08Speaker 1: all the different tourism boards within the state of smaller
- 16:11Speaker 1: cities that also have budget that are also looking for creators,
- 16:15Speaker 1: So don't just set your sights on like that big destination,
- 16:18Speaker 1: look for unknown destinations. So that is a little bit
- 16:21Speaker 1: different than local. So I wanted to speak to local,
- 16:23Speaker 1: but I also wanted to share if your travel influencer
- 16:26Speaker 1: and your pitching and you're trying to create content that
- 16:28Speaker 1: a creator in our community told us that she did
- 16:30Speaker 1: like a huge campaign with I think it was like
- 16:32Speaker 1: visit Idaho, and they paid really, really well, and it
- 16:35Speaker 1: was a destination that maybe we don't really think of
- 16:37Speaker 1: when we think of American tourism, but she was able
- 16:39Speaker 1: to tap in, sell them a story, get them excited,
- 16:42Speaker 1: and she did this very early on in her career.
- 16:44Speaker 1: So again something for you guys as creators to consider
- 16:47Speaker 1: local angle and also destinations that are not as shiny
- 16:50Speaker 1: and flashy. And this goes for international as well. If
- 16:53Speaker 1: you're pitching a country abroad, doesn't have to be at
- 16:56Speaker 1: the country level. It can be at the local level abroad.
- 17:00Speaker 1: And one thing I think a lot of travel creators
- 17:02Speaker 1: have asked me in the past is can I use
- 17:03Speaker 1: my old content? Can I use what I already have? Absolutely, again,
- 17:07Speaker 1: it's going to depend on the platform that you're on.
- 17:10Speaker 1: If you're going to be on YouTube, you're gonna want
- 17:11Speaker 1: to make sure that past content is shot horizontally. But
- 17:14Speaker 1: if you're doing the short form route and you have
- 17:17Speaker 1: you know, footage already, you can use old footage. Creators
- 17:20Speaker 1: have a mindset block around this. They're like, I feel
- 17:23Speaker 1: like I can't because it's not new, it's not fresh.
- 17:26Speaker 1: It's all about, you know, creating voiceovers and leveraging the
- 17:29Speaker 1: content that you already have that exists. Now, if you're
- 17:31Speaker 1: looking to amplify your efforts as a travel creator, don't
- 17:35Speaker 1: forget tools like repurpose dot io and tools that are
- 17:38Speaker 1: going to help you take that one short form video
- 17:40Speaker 1: and put it on YouTube, on TikTok, on Instagram. Being
- 17:43Speaker 1: able to repurpose again helps you work smarter, not harder.
- 17:47Speaker 1: And just remember, creators, being connected is a necessity. Travelers
- 17:51Speaker 1: like you need to rely on these mobile networks for navigation,
- 17:54Speaker 1: being able to communicate, apps, uber, all of that. So
- 17:58Speaker 1: having an ESAM like gig Sky is going to enable
- 18:01Speaker 1: you to be like instantly hassle free access to local networks.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Even from a safety perspective, how important this type of
- 18:08Speaker 1: access is. I think we have a strong understanding here
- 18:11Speaker 1: that being a travel influencer is way more than posting
- 18:13Speaker 1: pretty photos around the world. It's about building a business,
- 18:18Speaker 1: and I think we were able to go through different
- 18:20Speaker 1: strategies and ways to get you guys started. Treat it
- 18:23Speaker 1: like a business, invest in the right tools, make good
- 18:25Speaker 1: financial decisions around your travel creator world. You don't have
- 18:29Speaker 1: to buy the most expensive camera and things of that
- 18:31Speaker 1: nature when you're just getting started. But remember it's so
- 18:33Speaker 1: important to create with intention, with clarity. This is going
- 18:36Speaker 1: to help you overall in your career. I'm going to
- 18:38Speaker 1: go ahead include that gig Sky fifty percent off link
- 18:41Speaker 1: again in the description so you guys can access it.
