Are you a digital entrepreneur, coach, retreat leader, course creator, blogger, or travel lover?

Then LEAN IN…

I’M GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO CONFIDENTLY GROW YOUR BUSINESS, EXPAND YOUR REACH

AND

TRAVEL THE WORLD BY SPONSORSHIP!

If you’re ready to take your digital business to the next level,  travel and work with brands in exchange for accommodations, meals, tours, products, and activities then read on to learn how you can incorporate sponsored travel into your digital business.

Having engaged social media channels is the key tipping point that will allow you to leverage your digital business, market to your social media followers, and attract sponsors to build your brand. It’s likely that you’re already doing the work to bring attention to them.

Digital entrepreneurs with engaged social media networks are who travel brands turn to for advertising. They understand the “global stage” we stand on when it comes to exposing their services and products to the world.

Here’s what you might not know

If you’re lucky enough to have a great social media following (good for you!):

YOU CAN COMMAND SPECIFIC SPONSORSHIPS

Even if you’re happy with a small stay at a hotel/resort, an appetizer at a restaurant, or a tour in a particular destination, once you know exactly what sponsors are looking for you can customize a sponsorship instead of settling for just “what you get”.

YOU CAN SIGNIFICANTLY BOOST YOUR BUSINESS AND SOCIAL MEDIA STATUS

Offering exciting and valuable coverage to your sponsors makes you the no-brainer digital entrepreneur to work with. (Doubly so when sponsors are considering dozens of others)

YOU CAN INSTANTLY RAISE YOUR NICHE CELEBRITY & AUTHORITY

This can lead to valuable partnerships, paying clients, marketing connections, and all sorts of exciting and unexpected opportunities that add new revenue streams to your digital business.

YOU CAN GENERATE CONSISTENT, RELIABLE SPONSORSHIPS

Understanding your sponsor’s needs puts you in complete control of your travel. You’ll no longer have to rely on hustling for your sponsorships, giving more than you get, or receiving more no’s than yeses.

Instead, you’ll bring in predictable and sustainable sponsorships that give you the freedom to monetize your digital business and social media channels and confidently capitalize on new opportunities for growth.

Even though the reasons to pursue sponsored travel are obvious, the path to doing it successfully is anything but.

GET SPONSORS TO WORK WITH ME? AWESOME!

But where the heck do I start?

Maybe you’ve looked through your social media feeds and seen other digital entrepreneurs and bloggers bragging about the beautiful destinations they are enjoying on sponsorship.

You’ve made a list of places that you want to travel to, restaurants you want to try, gotten all excited about the safari that you added to your bucket list, and maybe even researched how to get sponsorships.

If you’re super determined, you might have even found out who to send a pitch letter to assure yourself that you’d use it in the mystical, yet allusive, someday.

But, even with the best intentions, most digital entrepreneurs end up abandoning their desire to travel in exchange for their expertise allowing other digital nomads to swoop in and grab those coveted sponsorships while they remain sidelined.

Here’s why most digital entrepreneurs abandon their desires.

Without a super clear, step-by-step project plan, most digital entrepreneurs get completely lost.

They fall victim to paralyzing business and social media hang-ups (the experts make it sound so easy!) time-sucking sticking points, or lack of clarity over exactly what they need to do next to get sponsorships.

Here’s why this is irreversibly crippling.

As an already busy digital entrepreneur with new content to come up with, social media channels to keep fresh and interesting, and maybe even a day job to get to, you literally can’t afford to veer off course.

And the moment you get lost in the research of how to get sponsors, it’s almost impossible to recover.

Therefore, getting sponsorships is one of the few things in your digital career that you NEED to get right the first time.

And luckily for you, there are actually VERY FEW people out there doing it right.

In all likelihood, your competitors have either failed in attaining sponsorships or been ineffective in sustaining their travels through sponsorship.

Which means…

Even if you’re late to the party, there’s still a golden opportunity for you to jump in, clean up the mess, and convert your efforts into a life of traveling longer and farther. 

That is…if you can avoid the same deadly entrepreneur mistakes that your competitors are making.

The 3 Reasons Most Digital Entrepreneurs Fail At Getting Sponsorships

Getting sponsorships isn’t particularly hard or complicated. But there are MANY moving pieces and potential failure points along the way.

How to build an organic following? How to find the right people to pitch to? How to pitch and get noticed?

These are just some of the MANY questions you’ll have to answer along the way.

Most digital entrepreneurs approach their sponsorships as just another “thing to learn”. But the thing is you can’t treat your sponsorship acquisition as just another “strategy, “tactic” or “system”. It’s an immensely valuable (and fragile) project that, when done right, can earn you travel opportunities over the course of your digital lifetime.

Time to respect it for what it is – a PROJECT – and approach it accordingly.

HERE’S AN INTERESTING LITTLE SECRET… 

Even though online marketing for sponsors is a MASSIVE and quickly growing industry – it’s not an evenly distributed one.

A few people will get a HUGE piece of the pie, while many others fizzle out.

And the main reason for this, as you’ve likely seen by now, is that while the barriers to entry are relatively LOW…

…the barriers towards EFFECTIVE EXECUTION are fairly high.

But as long as you can avoid the biggest blunders that sink most digital entrepreneurs, the path is paved for you and your first sponsorship.

One that allows you to achieve bigger sponsorships, create more travel, and offer you the opportunities to monetize your business.

The key ingredient to all of this is getting those multiple sponsorships.

And with your permission, that’s what I’d LOVE to show you how...
