Academy Media Trips
One of the many perks in the Academy is media trips! The media trips are a great way to work with tourism boards and PR. Another huge perk is spending time with a group of fun travel writers, bloggers and photographers! It's amazing what you learn from each other during a trip-- it's actually invaluable! We have visited:
- Scottsdale, Arizona
- Tucson, Arizona
- San Diego, California
- Puerto Penasco, Mexico
- Cancun, Mexico
- Mexico Wine Country
- and many other locations
Live Group Coaching
Each month is a schedule group video call. Many calls I encorporate a lesson or blogging tips. This is also a chance to ask any questions you have about the world of travel writing and blogging. It's also a great opportunity to connect with fellow travel bloggers.
5-Minute Travel Blogging Tips
5 Minute Tips that are videos. These bite-sized, actionable items are meant to take your blog to the next level quickly. You'll have access to all videos in the library as well as all new videos as they are created.
One huge perk is I ask for your requests. If you are stuck with any aspect of travel blogging, you simply ask me to create a video tutorial!
Academy Yearly Mastermind plus Media Trip
We meet for three days and focus on everything from writing, photography, social media, monetizing, working with PR, landing more media trips and so much more. I have even brought in special guests to visit and talk about all things travel blogging!
The main purpose of the mastermind is to allow the travel academy members a chance to have focused time to get great feedback about how to take their travel writing or blogging career to the next level.
What I think is an even bigger outcome for the attendees is quality time hanging out as a group.
After the mastermind is a three to five day media trip. How often do you get 5 to 7 days to be with a group of writers and bloggers?
