Traveling for free or getting paid?
This is certainly one of the first issues to be addressed. Many believe that producing photos, videos and writing articles on their blog (perhaps with thousands of monthly readers) is not considered a real job, as the person who does it often has done a completely different or not has experience. You always start by being a “mess” and staying in hotels in exchange for producing material is certainly a great way. The envy and hatred that came from other workers derives from the fact that the growth path for this type of profession today can be carried out this way, not being paid but doing a lot of practice in extraordinary places. Certainly better to be “exploited” by a hotel than by an office! Here is the privilege reserved for bloggers,
Therefore, free travel in hotel facilities is reserved for budding travel bloggers or professionals who believe they want to use the hospitality of a hotel to use as a support for their projects.
Why should hotels work with you? What do you have to offer?
Well why do you have a travel blog and 10,000 followers on Instagram? It is no longer an answer as anyone can start a travel blog or buy handfuls of followers for a few euros. There must therefore be a certain synchrony between the readers of your blog and your followers and make all this credible, first of all to yourself. If you can’t find the reason why hotels should really work with you, beyond your numbers, you may need to revise your proposal. Think about it carefully; how much money did you get from working with hotel affiliate programs? If the answer is “nobody” this could mean that your blog at the moment does not seem to be well set up for sale.
Now, before downloading this guide, make sure you have the minimum requirements to start your collaboration with accommodation facilities;
A proper domain
If you have a blog (and you will need one to get twice as many opportunities to collaborate with hotels) make sure your domain address is something like www.iltuosito.com instead of www.iltuosito.wordpress.com or any other subdomain. If you are not the first to believe in yourself and in your profession going to invest those 20-40 euros a year to have a dominion of your own why should others believe you?
If you do not know how to move your old site to a new hosting with a new domain you can follow this guide that will help you in choosing the best hosting.
I’ll give you some tips:
Choose the new provider, be it Serverplan, Siteground, BLuehost or any other (better if among these, as already tested, while if you decide to buy only one for the low price remember that a laundry site is priceless, especially when you find yourself the hacked site and having to throw it …)
If you have the possibility to use a plugin on your old site (for example if you were on Altervista) use the All-in-One WP Migration plugin for migration.
If, on the other hand, you do not have the possibility to export the theme, even better. What you have now is the result of a first test and starting from scratch will be the best way to have a clean and error-free template. Just remember to download all your old articles and reload them into your new wordpress site. If you had acquired enough traffic on the old site, pay attention to the migration of the contents so as not to lose indexing on Google. If you don’t know how to do it or don’t find it in Google tutorials, ask your hosting provider or a professional.
A professional email
The same goes for your email. You can decide to send your requests from your @gmail email, but some hotels may take your professionalism into consideration even for the type of mail you use. If you have purchased your domain for a fee, usually the emails are always free! all you have to do is configure it by always asking your provider for a hand.
Which type of hotel to choose
There is no connection between a few profiles with few followers to choose B & Bs and those with many followers to choose luxury hotels. Surely the most sensible advice is always to contact facilities in line with your target and if luxury hotels are, then you can feel free to contact them.
The type of e-mails to be sent may be different from a B&B which for most of the time may not usually receive collaboration e-mails and therefore more curious about this aspect.
The difference between an e-mail with an answer and an e-mail sent without an answer lies in the category of hotel that you are going to look for. Don’t go and write to hotels that are commonly seen on Instagram because you believe me that there are plenty of advertising and influencers willing to sell a kidney to go to that place. Choose something prestigious but little known, perhaps avoiding the botique hotels because with few rooms available they might not be interested in collaborating, but nothing is ever said and everything depends.
Find hotel emails
Usually the big chains don’t have open email addresses and so you’ll have to find different strategies to get to get what you want. You can then search through sites that offer some public data or sites that provide mail lists of hotels that offer conference rooms. Once you find the right sites you can have access to those emails that usually the big chains don’t make available and only allow you to fill out a form on your site.
Try it in various ways. Contact the structure on Instagram or on Facebook by requesting the email that manages the marketing department in order to be able to send your request for collaboration. Try to be specific because the tendency is to send you back to the contact form on the site.
The list of hotels that collaborate with Travel Blogger and Influencer
The list of hotels that collaborate with Travel Blogger and influencer is finally available and constantly updated. If you are a beginner, you can learn through a mini-guide how to contact the structures, how to introduce yourself and how to behave during the collaboration.
This is a list of hotels that have collaborated or may be interested in collaborating with travel bloggers (worldwide). This does not mean that hotels are willing to collaborate with bloggers and the approach should never be to ask “I heard you are collaborating with bloggers”.
Remember to go and analyze the hotel before sending the request for collaboration. Never send the same e-mail with more hotel e-mail copies.
