Sound familiar?

You're already creating and traveling. Just not getting paid for it.

Still paying for every stay

You travel, you create, you post — but you're still covering every hotel bill. Others with smaller followings are getting comped.

Content sitting unused

You have videos brands would pay for. You just don't know how to package, pitch, or price them.

No system, just guessing

You've watched the videos, read the posts — but nobody's given you the actual step-by-step for landing real deals.

Watching others live it

Creators at 5K are getting flown out. You're wondering what they know that you don't. It's a system. Not luck.

It's not your follower count. It's not your gear. It's about knowing exactly how to position yourself so hotels and brands see you as an asset — not a favor.

This playbook is where that starts.

The proof

Numbers that actually matter

Not vanity metrics. Real outcomes that show what's possible.

Who made this

I'm Jose.
Full-time creator.

I've been obsessed with video since before social media made it a job. Travel became my canvas — and over time I realized the content I was creating had real business value.

Hotels, tourism boards, and brands were willing to pay for it. Not because I had millions of followers. Because I learned how to position myself, pitch with confidence, and deliver content they actually needed.

I built this playbook because nobody handed me the system. I figured it out the hard way — so you don't have to.

The mindset shift that changes everything

Why most creators never land a collab — and the one perspective change that fixes it before you send a single pitch.

Making your profile do the work for you

What hotels and brands actually look at — and how to set up your Instagram so the answer is always yes.

Filming content they actually want

The iPhone settings and shot types I use — simple, clean, and the kind of content properties ask to repost.

How to pitch — and what to say

The email and DM templates I've personally used. Includes the off-season approach that gets replies when others get ignored.

Growing an audience brands want to reach

The 70/20/10 content strategy — not about going viral, but building the kind of following that makes you attractive to deals.

From free stay to paid partnership

What happens after the yes — and how a complimentary stay becomes a recurring paid relationship.

Is this for you?

This is for you if...

You create content but have no idea how to monetize it beyond views
You want to pitch hotels and brands but don't know where to start
You have UGC videos sitting on your phone with no monetization plan
You're tired of paying for trips you're creating content on
You want the system, not just inspiration
This is NOT for you if you want results with zero effort

"Hotels don't pay creators for popularity. They pay for content that helps them sell the experience. You don't need fame. You need the right approach."

FAQ

Questions answered.

Do I need a big following to make this work?

No. I landed my first hotel collaboration with under 6,000 followers. This playbook is built around positioning and content quality — not follower count.

What if I've never worked with a brand before?

There's a full section on building a portfolio from scratch — even with zero brand deals on your resume. You start from wherever you are.

Do I need expensive camera gear?

No. The entire filmmaking section is built around iPhone. If you have a phone, you have everything you need to start.

How quickly can I see results?

Some people land their first collab within weeks. It depends on your consistency — but you'll have everything you need from day one.
