Episode Details

In today’s episode, I pull back the curtain on how tourism boards really choose creators—plus the step-by-step system I use to pitch, follow up, and land deals.

 I’m breaking down the pitch mistakes that are tanking your chances, the exact process I use as a travel creator and UGC creator, and how you can confidently pitch—without needing a massive following.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

•  Why tourism boards love working with UGC creators
•  How to build a pitch-ready portfolio in one afternoon
•  The correct way to find decision-makers at tourism boards
• The 4 elements every winning pitch needs
• The truth about email volume (it’s a numbers game)
•  The follow-up strategy that gets me responses on my 4th, 5th, and even 7th email
•  Mistakes killing your pitching
