Being able to travel for free and now get paid to travel is a dream and I'm just living it! I just want you to know.. if I can do, it so can you.

i love your authenticity!! you really did drop some golden nuggets and as a fellow creator (but in the lifestyle niche preparing to make the switch to travel soon), i appreciate the tips!

[@made-by-marie]

Thank you so much for your content ❤ I’m in Australia and pitched to my first Airbnb host today and got back a response, shes going to get back to me with confirmation but has blocked the dates out on the site, soo fingers crossed it’s all good and I can start this journey too 🤞🏼

[@theellarayshow]

Loved this video! Just getting into this topic as a full time digital nomad for 2 years. I did have my first deal a few months ago and now I am ready to expand this business area. Thanks for this 🧡🧡🧡

How many followers do you have? I’m starting out solely on TikTok just making content of places u visit, recommendations on where to eat, etc. but I’m thinking of contacting hotels etc. but how many followers should I have?

[@Ugcwithhelena]

Love this!! You’re such an inspiration! I listen to all your advice and I got my first 2 in Joshua tree when I hit my 2 month mark of UGC. And it was so life changing! I notice some areas say no a lot more than others 😅 but your videos always make me want to keep pitching!! ✨🙏

[@itschelseahope]

YES! So so happy & proud of you - it’s truly a dream when you land these types of deals. Keep on pitching & keep on traveling, eventually you can turn it into a paid gig if you don’t give up 🤩

[@hanginwithjamye9659]

Which areas that you've noticed say no the most?

[@TamMinhThai]

Hotels usually ask for: 5 stories, 2 reels,1 cinematic video. 10 photos. How much should you charge for this? Thank you

[@Tanya-ye1eb]

Great video and tips thank you!! Do you send your portfolio right away or first ask if they are interested in working with you?😊

[@AnnalisesLife]

Great video! Thank you for sharing your process and all this information!

[@rachelle_faith]

[@itschelseahope]

🤍

[@ElinDaviesx]

Hello! Love this!! Could you possibly do a video showing examples of photos/videos that you send to airbnbs? 🤩 x

[@itschelseahope]

Yes!! Definitely

[@doun138]

Hi dear, can you also talk about skills and equipment please? How do you see it evolve. Where can one get started if he or she has zero experience with camera, edits etc... !?

[@LaurenLamptey]

Thank you for sharing!!

[@pareenyajnik13]

Thank you for sharing this! I really want to get into this and wanted to know if we need to create a separate instagram profile catering to ugc content?

[@megan9481]

Can you please make another video about this topic 🫶

[@meandjjforeva]

I really want to get on this. So do you pay for flight? What is a gifted stay? Do they usually ask for a refund if they don’t like the content? How do you keep the Airbnb from using your content longterm? Or do they get to use the content you created forever? Do you get paid royalties?Do you get paid via PayPal? I’m scared, but I would love to get into traveling ugc. Your an inspiration!

[@itschelseahope]

Don't be scared! In the beginning, do local Airbnbs so you can get some free stays under your belt. I let the Airbnb use my content for as long as they want organically. I'll do a Q&A in depth on here to answer more of these in depth for you + more questions!!

[@Carolinapassi]

Thank you❤ I want to start! I wonder do you use a special camera or iPhone for the content? I also have newest dji drone but no special camera other than this. Is this good to start?

[@ChillinOutWithNae]

Are your shorts some of the UGC videos you’ve done?

[@toni_yvette]

Great video! I'm curious about the booking process? If it's free is it still booked through air bnb? What if the host doesn't keep their end of the bargain or doesn't respond for check in? Are there contracts for this?

[@rachedhaddar9741]

Sterp one have pretty privilege

[@apollosmartyn]

Great work hope to collaborate with you on KZbin one day ❤❤Namibia 🇳🇦

[@tayyabaseher1002]

do they pay for the travel or flight tickets too?

[@nooralainal]

Hi! When you pitch do you include a portfolio?

[@megan9481]

Thank you do you need a portfolio

[@chelseajaynecreates]

Thank you for sharing!! I pitched to two hosts on Airbnb site and now it won't let me chat more people. I had someone interested in seeing the mood board but I wasn't sure how to get it to her without asking for an email and then she denied my request. I get nervous cause some of the cool stays aren't on socials yet so I don't know how else to contact them.

[@itschelseahope]

Wait that’s so interesting! I’ve never seen anyone run into that problem after only reaching out to 2 hosts 😨 luckily, there are other platforms you can use + you can always create a new account!!

[@chelseajaynecreates]

@@itschelseahope very true!! Thank you 🤗

[@kathrynelizabeth7212]

Do you need a lot of followers?
