Why most people FAIL as a Travel Influencer / Creator (MUST READ MISTAKES!)

The journey to becoming a successful Travel Influencer or Creator comes with many obstacles, mistakes and learning curves all of which can quickly lead you to FAIL and give up on your DREAMS.  The harsh reality is that the path to success in this highly competitive field is fraught with challenges, pitfalls, and common mistakes that can derail even the most passionate and dedicated individuals.


In this blog I will share my personal journey and where I feel most people get unstuck and why most people FAIL as a Travel Creator / Influencer.


So read below, because my story may just be the help and motivation you need to overcome the obstacles and let your truly dreams taking flight! Free from failure!


STORY TIME: When I VERY first started out on Instagram, I really had no real idea what I was doing, I’d just post with no purpose, post what I thought 'I wanted to share’ NOT considering what people may want to see, it was a bit of everything and anything, a MESS! I had no niche, no goals, no value, and basically just hoped for the BEST…


🚫This type of content doesn’t promote engagement or growth and ONLY leads to a cycle of disappointment, a lack of consistency because you don’t have a plan and strategy, and feelings of giving up because it’s 'just not working’. Finally resulting in failure!


...So what did I do to turn it around?


📝 I LEARNT what works and doesn't work, and I began to generate success! And with success came a want for more, a thirst for creating more viral content, for engaging in my community, and an inspiration to succeed.


Success then creates confidence, confidence to put yourself out there, confidence to be a leader, confidence then resonates through your posts and captions.


….‘This person knows what they are doing!’ Let's follow!


⚡️Confidence creates action takers, confidence to pitch to brands, to apply for the BIG jobs, to expand revenue streams, confidence to charge your worth!


⚡️Confidence creates an allure, brands seek YOU out, they want what you’re serving! Work generates more inbound enquires, for every job you post you’ll get 3 x new enquires, it’s a cycle.


So, if I was starting again as a Travel Creator and didn't want to FAIL I would:


1. Define my niche & mission statement.


2. Learn the game of Instagram the FAST way by taking a short course, learn how to build an engaged audience and create viral content that actually grows my desired audience.

3. Create a content strategy that builds my success. YOU NEED A STRATEGY!!


4. Build my confidence, feed off my successes, and charge my worth!


Hope this helps whoever needed to hear this today!


Remember: Don't let the fear of FAILING be more than the excitement of WINNING!
