“Gabi’s workshops, if nothing else, are a confidence booster than you can do this, but they’re so much more. Unlike other workshops that promise the world and rarely deliver, Gabi provides real world advice to travel writers that are both close to success, and entirely new the industry.”
What We’ll Cover
This is not just going to be me talking at you about how to pitch, what editors are looking for, and how to make money from blogging. You probably already know everything that you need to know about those things.
What we are going to do is much more hands on.
We are going to look in naked, nitty gritty detail at exactly where your travel writing (or general freelance writing if you do more things but would like to transition to just travel) income is coming from, how you earn it, how you’d like to earn it, and what type of work you need to do and clients you need to work with to hit your big, fat, crazy income goal.
- If you’re currently eking out more like $35,000 from freelance travel writing and living frugally, we’re going to talk about how to make it $70,000 so you can foot the bill for the types of trips you’d really like to be taking.
- If you’re earning a healthy $60,000 or $70,000 from freelance travel writing, we’ll make a plan to push you into and beyond that coveted $100,000-mark.
- And if you’re currently working full time in another capacity and want to completely replace that income with travel writing, we’ll chart a detailed, step-by-step, just go home and color by numbers plan for that too.
This is not time for straight learning or pep talks.
We are going to map out, in detail, with goals and tactics, exactly what you need to do to reach your goals.
“I had broken into freelance writing about 4 years before I was introduced to Gabi. I wrote a small magazine column and contributed a web piece here and there, but despite traveling to 20 countries and living abroad for 3 years, I struggled with organizing my ideas and pitching publications to keep a steady supply of new work. Simply put, I’ve learned more in the few months that I’ve been a member of the Dream of Travel Writing Database and listening in on Gabi’s seminars than I have in 4 years of working in the industry. Gabi is a wealth of knowledge and I feel fortunate to have been influenced by her expertise. “

Why should you pay the equivalent of a dinner out to come listen to me?
There’s a reason that I wrote the 400-page book The Six-Figure Travel Writing Road Map (which you’ll get a free copy of at the workshop!).
When I started going to travel writing conferences and people heard that I didn’t have my own blog, and only wrote for other blogs that paid me $100-400 a post or magazines that paid $400-$2,500, people wanted me to teach them how I did it. So I told them what I did. But they didn’t do it. So I spent 18 months researching why.
Why do some people become successful travel writers and others don’t? One half of the equation is knowledge. And the other half is psychology. So I created a series of trainings that give you the information you need to succeed and exercises to make sure you actually implement what you learn.
Normally, people have to pay $500 a month for personal coaching from me to have access to these trainings and exercises or come to my writing retreat center outside New York city for a weekend retreat of not just learning, but doing. Of patterning the actions that they’ll take home and practice to make sure their travel writing career actually happens like they want this time.
“Instead of fluffy, theoretical advice, Gabi takes readers step by step through the nitty gritty (but vital) tactics that can turn a travel writing dream into a profitable, sustainable reality.”
