“How do I discuss pricing in a proposal for a travel content marketing writing client?”
We’ve got a new book out, 101 Things You Need to Know to Make it as a Travel Writer, that answers 101 questions that we hear from travel writers all the time that are holding them back from achieving their Dream of Travel Writing. To celebrate the new book, we’ll be tackling a new sticky travel-writing situation each Monday here on The Six-Figure Travel Writer blog.
“How do I discuss pricing in a proposal for a travel content marketing writing client?”
Give three choices doing different amounts of work for different prices: a small, medium, and large. (Yep, Goldilocks style!)
Get Your Travel Writing MBA with Our New 16-Part Series
I don’t know about you, but when I was in my 9-to-5 job imagining and dreaming and finally planning my escape to be a full-time freelance travel writer, I never once considered getting an MBA in travel writing.
Before I made the leap, I did spend every commute and probably many idle hours in the office reading up on the hows of making it work as a freelance writer. And I spent more than a year building up clips and gigs before leaving my job.
But I never thought there would be any reason to study how big corporate businesses make things work. Isn’t that what we gleefully give up having to care about when we go rogue freelance?
“I want to tell an editor I have more than one idea for their travel magazine in my pitch, how should I do that?”

“I want to tell an editor I have more than one idea for their travel magazine in my pitch, how should I do that?”
Usually I advise to send one fully fleshed-out pitch and save your other ideas for when you get a response from an editor or when you’re following up after no response.
“I’m nervous about speaking on the phone with a potential travel content writing client, what can I do?”

“I’m nervous about speaking on the phone with a potential travel content writing client, what can I do?”
Before the call, get some talking points noted down such as why you’re on the call, how you found them, and how you can help.
What Are the Next Big Steps for Your Travel Writing?
There is a reason we primarily offer in-person retreat events rather than online programs.
The results are simply so, so different.
Think about learning a language–you can go to Spanish classes for an hour one night a week for years. Or you can go to Spain and be surrounded by signs in Spanish, people speaking Spanish, and constant opportunities to put your skills to use.
“I’ve found something interesting on a trip, but it’s not new, how can I pitch this as a travel article to a magazine?”

“I’ve found something interesting but it’s not new, how can I pitch this as a travel article to magazines?”
You can often find one thing on your trip which in itself is interesting but would be hard to pitch because it has been around for a while.
“101 Things You Need to Know to Make it as a Travel Writer” Has Landed
We actually have a category here on our blog called “Free Stuff,” and I have been clicking it a lot lately.
Just now, as the first of our two books debuting this spring edges its way out into the world, I find myself clicking it once again, because we have put together some very special bonuses for anyone interested in purchasing 101 Things You Need to Know to Make it as a Travel Writer from us directly.
Which Retreats Should We Schedule This Fall and Winter? (Win a Delightful Chocolate Gift Box!)
It was very much a coincidence that we came to own our retreat house in the Catskills right when Dream of Travel Writing and the Travel Magazine Database were getting off the ground.
Now, of course, I couldn’t imagine it any other way.
Having the opportunity to work intensively, in-person with writers on the issues that they are struggling with has completely transformed my ideas for how we can help writers.
