Today's wonderful guest is Christy Camren, who holds dual roles in the travel industry as both travel advisor and travel industry support partner.  She hosts the Travel Geniuses Podcast, and we have quickly become fast pals, as we both resonate with each other's travel industry perspectives.  So much so, that our conversation ran much longer than anticipated and ergo, I split this episode in two.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Our thoughts on hard work and hustling, especially in relation to our medical conditions
• How travel advisors offer value no matter what level of experience they have in their business
• Mistakes we've made when choosing business investments
• and SO much more!

Enjoy (and take action)!

*HEADS UP*  This episode contains some cursey words!

In part 2 of this mini-series, I'm bringing on my real-life social media clients, Chefs Tony and Melissa Badeaux-Shepherd of Two Chef Mission, to pull back even more of the curtain on how we have worked together to get their business to give them a full-time income this past year.

In this episode, we focus on:

• Finding the right places where our ideal clients hang out (so we can then send them to our social media accounts)
• The value of delegating and supporting fellow business owners
• Focusing on key products and services to build our business (and not focusing on the whole shebang)
• and so much more!

Enjoy (and take action)!

For those of you that didn't know, I play dual roles in the travel industry.  I am both a travel advisor and support fellow business owners.  In today's episode, I wanted to present a real-life case study on social media clients I have been working with this past year, and how they have strategically built their business while working with me.

In this episode, I focus on:

• Why simply posting is not enough to attract clients to your business
• What posts are quickly becoming more popular to attract clients
• How my clients are attracting actual paying buyers to their business
• and more!

As we head into the summer season, it's typically a slower season in terms of garnering new business.  Knowing this, what can we do to still stand out when many are taking both physical and mental breaks?  I'm turning to something that not many business owners are utilizing and that's the offline marketing tactic of direct mail.

In this episode, I focus on:

• The three main types of direct mail methods
• How I utilize an automated direct mail system
• The easiest direct mail campaign to start right now
• and more!

I have been investing more and more time on LinkedIn and have started gaining some traction in these recent months.   Like other avenues of relationship marketing, LinkedIn strategy is playing the long game, but I have found also provides a different caliber of potential compared to the "social" platforms.  As such, I wanted to provide a roundup of some useful insights I have learned this past year, and share them with you, so you can also start to use them for your travel business success.

In this episode, I focus on:

• Optimizing your LinkedIn bio
• Posting thought-provoking content
• Engaging with people on the platform
• and more!

Enjoy (and take action)!

It is not Saturday, but I did pull this audio from a very impromptu live I did in the Strategic Travel Entrepreneur FB Group (which I did on Saturday).

And why?  Well because something big happened on Saturday--I got confirmation that the lurkers are indeed watching.  Who are the lurkers--potential clients and referral partners.  Where are they watching--from social channels.  Listen in to this episode to why I find this particularly fascinating!

I focus on:

• The importance of connecting on LinkedIn
• Why just posting on social channels is not enough
• What the playing the long game in social media means and can result in
• and more!

Enjoy (and take action)!

Happy Global Travel Advisor Day!!

Loving that the final installment of this series falls on this special day :)  Throughout the weeks I've discussed what visibility is, "secret" social media strategies, and why visibility isn't just about you or your travel business.  Today's episode is all about remaining visible in our very own travel industry.

I focus on:

• Cultivating relationships with supplier partners
• Creating connections with  support partners
• The benefits of investing in both
• and more!

Enjoy (and take action)!
