Learn how to get comped travel with Georg Papp

EDITED TO ADD: within 2 weeks of publishing this post, I’ve gotten over $1000 worth of tickets to multiple attractions, a comped hotel stay WITH a 3 course dinner for 3, and my husband (who is a videographer) has been booked (a PAID gig!) to make a promotional video for them. We are still contacting more companies and cities, and it’s looking really good!

I truly believe that it is important to invest into your business with new knowledge, even if you feel like you “know” this stuff already.

One of my recent investments was Georg Papp’s Travel Sponsorship Course.

It seems I have caught the travel bug, and am determined to travel even more! I’ve travelled and seen more of the world in 2017 than I have in my entire LIFE! I went to Hawaii (where I got a tonne of freckles), and then to Las Vegas before heading to LA county in California for a wedding. Plus, my family and I have taken a few day trips this summer to parts of Ontario I’ve never seen before.

We all know how I love having a blog, and one of the perks is getting to work with amazing brands. The usual brands that I get to work with are health and beauty brands. I’d like to believe though, that as I am growing, my blog will also grow with me. I want to be able to broaden my niche beyond just waist trainers and how to get glowy skin. I’d love to be able to share my travels also!

Now, I’m not too shabby when it comes to working with beauty brands. I know how the products work, I understand what the brands want, and it’s something I’m very familiar with.

When it comes to travel, however… well, let’s just say that isn’t my expertise. I don’t know who to contact, what the brands are looking for, etc. I’m still a novice at this stuff.

Enter, Georg Papp

Who is this guy, anyway?

Well, he’s an influencer who has travelled allover the world, worked with a bunch of travel brands and companies, and he’s teaching people like you and I how to do it too.

Pretty awesome, right?

I saw his full course on How to Obtain Travel Sponsorships, I was so excited because it was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Travel Sponsorship Courses

Georg offers a few different courses, all available here.

Here’s a breakdown of the different courses:

Travel Sponsorship Pitch Templates – $10

One of the most important parts of obtaining sponsorships is figuring out who to contact and what to say to them. With this course, Georg walks you through how to find the right person to contact, and you can swipe his exact email templates he’s used to land sponsorships. This is well worth its price of $10. However, this is only ONE important piece to landing sponsorships.

Media Kit 101 – $10

When working with brands, a lot of them want to know your stats and your numbers. Georg shows you how to gather your numbers and display them in the most appealing way to brands in this course, which is also only $10

How to Obtain Travel Sponsorships FULL COURSE – $40

This is the one I hopped on right away, and I don’t regret it. Not only does this include everything from both the Media Kit and Pitch Template courses, but it expands on those lessons and he offers more modules not offered in any of the other courses.

If you opt in for any of the $10 courses and decide to upgrade to the full course, the original $10 is applied towards the full course!

Influence Building

Georg goes in depth on how to build your “score” to show the influence you have to potential sponsors. This is great for someone who is just starting out and still working on building their stats.

The Pitch

Not only does he tell you who to look for to email your pitches to, but he gives you an actual walkthrough of him doing it. He also goes into detail on how to WOW these brands by learning about them and what to include in the pitch. These demonstrations are extremely helpful, as I’ve learned a lot of brands complain about influencers not “knowing enough” about the brand is a pain point for them.

Hands on support

Okay, this isn’t a module in the course, but Georg really believes in his courses and is there to answer any questions you may have. I have messaged/email him on different occasions (even BEFORE I bought anything!) and he was very prompt in his responses and seemed more than happy to help.

So, are his courses worth it?

Absolutely, YES! I bought another travel sponsorship course and it was nowhere as good as this one. I don’t even remember the guys that created it or what it was called.

Georg really put in time to create his product, and he shares an enormous amount of knowledge with you.

And if you just want to get an idea if you’d like his course or not, I suggest investing in the $10 Travel Sponsorship Pitch Templates. It’s really a small price to pay, and you can always upgrade to the full course after.

I have applied some tips and tricks taught in his course and applied it not only when reaching out to travel sponsors, but when I was reaching out to beauty sponsors also. I’ve tweaked my media kit and my approach due to some golden nuggets he’s shared.

Have a landed a travel sponsorship yet? I’ll be honest… not quite.

We are still contacting more companies and cities, and it’s looking really good!

BUT what I have been working on is building relationships with people that work for within travel brands that I’d like to work with. I have gotten some VERY good contacts for these companies, and they are telling me exactly what they’re looking for in partnerships. This information gathering is something that Georg teaches in his course 😉

Georg’s methods do work, and it’s just a matter of me growing my audience and being able to provide what the brands want.
