#Manychat User Input

this tool helped me gain 100k followers from 1 post 👇 (ad) I started using @Manychat in 2024 because while I LOVE answering travel questions and having real convos in DMs, 🥲 I don’t have the ability to do that AND send out all my mini guides and resources manually 🗺️ all I have to do is setup a quick automation, and Manychat sends out thousands of free travel mini-guides automatically 🌌 letting me provide helpful information 24/7 AND drive engagement through comments 📈 so it’s not the ONLY reason I grew 100k from a single video, but it helped a LOT to try the version I use, comment TOOLS & I’ll send you 30 days of Manychat PRO for free! #ManychatPartner | social media tools | social media growth | content creator

Travel agents, if you keep asking ChatGPT to “write me a caption”… you’re going to keep getting generic marketing. The problem isn’t the tool it’s just how you’re using it.. If your input is: “Write a post about this cruise.” 🚢 You’ll get something that sounds like every other cruise post. But if your input is: “I’m planning this itinerary. Here’s why I chose it. Help me explain the difference between booking this alone and planning it with me.” You’re gonna start to get something that looks like positioning. ChatGPT shouldn’t do the thinking for you - it should sharpen the thinking you already did.

Let’s kill this myth right now shall we 👏🏼 You don’t need 10K followers. You don’t need a blue tick. You don’t need to “go viral” first. What you really need: ✨ Clear travel content on your grid ✨ A defined niche (who you actually attract) ✨ A strong, structured pitch ✨ Confidence when quoting your rate ✨ Proof you can create content brands can use Brands pay for VALUE. Not metrics. A smaller, aligned audience that trusts you is more powerful than 20K random followers 😮‍💨 If you’re waiting to hit a number before charging - you’re delaying income you could already be making. Positioning > followers. Strategy > luck. 💾 SAVE this for your next pitch or brand email. ✨ Follow @bookedandpaidcollective for travel creator tips, pitching strategy, and how to turn collabs into income.

honestly if you’ve ever needed a sign to start posting your content, this is it I used to think that you needed hundreds of thousands of followers to travel the world for free and I’m still in shock that I get to call this my life The truth is that businesses care more about content than a huge influencer posting one story of them at their hotel and that’s it! 5000 followers 🥲 I’ve been to the Maldives 5 times (and only paid for 4 nights in 6+ weeks), Finland, Iceland, Morocco, Bali, Thailand all because of content creation - check my highlights! Stop overthinking. Stop scrolling. Post your work. It could just change everything for you! I’m not selling anything. But if you want to follow along, see how I’ve turned content into travel, and learn how to start your own journey - stick around 🫶🏼 #travelcreator #travelcontent #travelcontentcreation #travelinspi̇ration #digitalnomad

Watching other creators grow fast can quietly wreck your confidence. Most of them aren’t “better.” They’re just clearer. Clear niche. Clear outcome. Clear system behind every post. What actually helped me wasn’t copying trends or posting more. It was understanding that growth without direction feels good for a week, then creates panic when you still don’t know how to turn views into income. The part most people skip: virality is a traffic source, not a business model. If your content doesn’t train your audience what you’re known for, fast growth just multiplies confusion, not revenue. 👉 Comment HOOKS for Free Hooks that are working in 2026. 👉 Follow @travelcreator.bigworld for more templates, strategies + insider tips that turn content into income. 👋 I’m Valerie, Photographer and travel content creator.

Where are you not giving yourself enough grace? Where do you need to raise your standards? These are two questions we’re exploring in the Travel Creator Business Plan. It’s the world’s only community for travel creators who are done being just content creators and want to finally make this a business. New spots are open! Comment “creator” and I’ll send you a real life DM so we can have a conversation to see if this is a good fit. (No, I don’t have a ManyChat automation set up! I want to TALK to you!) 😊

The real reason niches work SO well for travel agents 👇🏼 When you try to speak to everyone, your content ends up speaking to no one. I see so many agents creating beautiful posts, but they feel generic because they’re not tapping into the specific pain points or wanderlust dreams of one clear community... I’ll start by bustng a few coconutty myths I’ve heard: 🥥 “Niching will alienate people” 🥥 “Niching won’t get me bookings” 🥥 “Niching is boring” Sea-riously, the opposite is true! Niching helps you: 🌴 Create focused, purposeful content 🌴 Be discovered by the right people 🌴 Showcase your expertise 🌴 Show up in searches (hello, keywords!) It’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done, and the same goes for my travel agent clients 👩🏼‍💻 Plus, it makes content creation way more fun, don’t you think? So tell me, what’s your dream niche? 🌺 #travelagentlife #travelagent #travelcommunity #travelplanner #socialmediatips

If I could go back to 2019 when I first started tinkering with the idea of becoming a travel content creator, I’d tell myself… ❌ STOP putting 100% of your time into growing your social media following 💡 Instead, consider this: While it is important to nurture your existing community and show examples of your content, it shouldn’t take up all your time. Remember: There are many things a brand, hotel, or tourism board could pay you for. Not just ad space on your Insta page (sponsorships). And since Instagram’s algorithms are fickle, I don’t recommend operating your content creation business in a way that’s completely reliant on how much reach/engagement you get. 🙂‍↔️🙅🏽‍♀️ Instead, do this: ✅ Hone your content creation skills so you can provide user-generated content for brands. Your following doesn’t matter, so your goal of getting paid to create content has one less barrier. With all that time you’re saving NOT joining engagement pods, you can actually study what makes for a high-converting piece of content. ✅ Treat your content creation business like a business. Remember that you’re not just a creative person looking for handouts. You’re a business working with another business. This means you must understand the brand inside out. What are their goals? What do they need? What problems do they currently have? Businesses don’t pay people for nothing. They pay to have their problems solved! This is how I went from being asked if I was open to free product collaborations and not being taken seriously to ➡️ negotiating a $300/video deal into $625/video ($2,500 for 4 UGC videos).

Content creators: don’t leave travel opportunities on the table!!🎥🏝️ It’s not luck, it’s knowing which doors exist and how to open them❤️‍🔥 You’re not asking for freebies… you’re offering marketing content🎥 So here’s where to start: 🏝️Hotels & villas → email the marketing team offering 1–3 Reels in exchange for a stay 🌊Tours & activities → join creator programmes like GetYourGuide (minimum 3000 followers) & Klook ⛴️Transport → DM ferry, train, bus & boat companies where you’re travelling 📲eSIM, insurance & luggage → pitch PAID travel UGC before your trip 💆🏼‍♀️Restaurants, beach clubs & spas → message once you’re already there 🏄‍♀️Diving, surf & cooking classes → contact local operators directly on Instagram 💡 Pro tip: smaller/local businesses usually say yes faster so start there! ❤️‍🔥If you already have a following, pitch based on your audience and reach. 🎥If you don’t, pitch based on your content skills and offer UGC instead. This is exactly how I started working with hotels, airlines & tourism boards while travelling full-time & yes, I’ve been paid for travel experiences too 🏄‍♀️🏝️ But here’s the thing… if you want to turn this into a real business, you can’t rely on free stays & experiences alone🫣 Stay tuned because I’ll be sharing how to turn your content into actual income 💸❤️‍🔥 Save this before your next trip!! 🤝 #ugccommunity #ugccreators #travelcreators #daretopost #digitalnomadlifestyle

✈️ It looks like I booked a flight to Costa Rica and built a lifestyle around it. It was actually the other way around. Long before I searched for flights, I was building something steady in the background. Small, consistent moves. One video at a time. Learning how to turn YouTube into digital assets instead of just content. I wasn’t chasing views. I was building structure. ✅ Offers connected to videos ✅ A freebie that made sense ✅ An email list that welcomed people in ✅ A community that didn’t depend on algorithms behaving By the time I booked the flight, the foundation was already there. That’s the part most people don’t see. The mornings in coffee shops aren’t random. They’re the result of years of decisions that compound. YouTube didn’t give me a vacation. It helped me design a business that moves with me. If you’re building your channel as an asset and not just a hobby, you already understand what I mean. And if you’re still figuring out how to connect the dots between videos and income, that’s exactly what we do inside the Vault Free trial is open. https://www.skool.com/vault/about 📍Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

👉 Comment “BAM” to see the exact content strategy. I hear it all the time… “Hotels just think I’m another content creator” It’s because to them you don’t seem any different than the 38 other inquiries they got today. You shoot, edit, deliver, and peace ✌️ It sucks for you cause it’s just a 1 and done And it sucks for them because they probably didn’t get much besides an initial bump. But here’s the part your local IG guru won’t tell you. I’ve worked with some of the biggest hotel brands in the world. Guys like Four Seasons, Marriott, and Hyatt And I know that hotels don’t care about getting one off viral hits. Sure it’s nice but almost every marketing manager says they’re sick of people just pitching one offs Because if just getting one viral hit was the answer, they’d have a waitlist to book. But they probably don’t. They don’t need random views that never turn into bookings. They could just boost posts lol. They don’t need a bunch of fake engagement pod comments that “boost engagement” from people that would never spend a dime with them. They need a long term strategy to: Drive contextual awareness Connect their amenities to their ideal avatar Convert direct bookings In other words… If you actually help them grow their business they will find a way to throw money at you. Crazy concept I know. The most successful creatives I know aren’t selling content and views. They sell creative partnerships and strategy. And their clients have no problem paying $4k-$8k/mo retainers because they actually make them money. But most creatives don’t have a clear simple strategy that gets customers (not just views) so they blend in with everyone else. But if you want to see the exact strategy me and my clients use to blow up our clients businesses so they keep paying Comment “BAM” and I’ll send the training Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙

Here’s how I sign 4-figure contracts with travel brands *even without being an influencer.* ✈️💰 Comment “CEO” if you want my free guide. 🫶🏽 Most people think you need 100k+ followers to land paid brand deals. (Do you? Be honest.) 👀 I’ve secured multiple paid travel collabs with ZERO mention of a social media following in my pitch. How? And why? 👇🏽 Brands don’t only care about a creator’s follower count. Lots of them ultimately care about getting usable content that will get them some kind of result (more sales, more bookings, more awareness). Think of any hotel or tourism board you’ve seen posting to social media. They need content for their Instagram, their website, their email newsletter, their online ads… you get the point. 😉 So to get paid to travel as a travel content creator (even without a ton of followers), you need to: ✈️ Get clear on the VALUE you offer to brands. For influencers, it’s “I can show your product/service to my thousands of followers!” For UGC creators (like myself), it’s “I can create photos and videos that you can use for your own marketing purposes and your own platforms.” Since I started reaching out to brands in this way, I’ve been able to create UGC for brands like Visit California, Preferred Hotels, Chill RV, and plenty more. 🌏 If you’re reading this and you’re like, “Roxanne, I’m interested in learning how to do this. Where can I get more info?” 👇🏽 Comment “CEO” and I’ll send you my free guide. ✈️🤍 @stanforcreators #standaretopost #travelcontentcreator #smallcreator #travelforfree #getpaidtotravel
