But we also air a free replay of one of our travel writing classes each and every weekday.

Here’s what we’ve got for you this week:

Tuesday, May 5, 5pm EST: How To Craft a Travel Content Marketing Pitch that Gets Attention
In the third portion of our coverage on travel content marketing writing, I break down the steps of putting together your own pitch to send cold to companies and tourism boards you think would benefit from your services, including powerful statistics on content marketing ROI to include and just how much information to give away to keep your prospect interested without setting them up to go execute your plan without you.

Wednesday, May 6, 5pm EST: How to Close the Deal: Proposal and Phone Calls that Get Results
In the last few webinars we covered what types of opportunities are out there, how to identify the right companies to approach, and how to write your travel content marketing pitch so that people will be compelled to reply. Here we walk through how to qualify what a prospect needs on the phone and then put it into a tantalizing collaboration proposal.

Thursday, May 7, 5pm EST: Pricing, Negotiating, and Contracts (for Travel Content Marketing and Magazine Writing)
In this webinar, in addition to covering the sections to make sure you include in your travel writing contracts, I cover general pricing and negotiation. Here you can find out what you “should” be charging in different situations…along with what you could be asking for when an editor names a price to you.

Friday, May 8, 5pm EST: How to Build Serious Business Partnerships at Travel Conferences
Made up stat (from covering conferences for magazines for four years and attending them for work for considerably longer), but I really think that only around 2-5% of people follow up with those they get cards from at conferences. And it’s on the decline. And those that do follow up by and large make it all about them.
In this webinar, you’ll hear how to be the one that walks away with the juicy content writing gig, sponsorship contract, or kick-ass individual fam trip.
