Pick Your Niche
“You can’t be the travel person for everybody. Pick a lane.”
- Circle your lane: Party / Romance / Adventure / Relaxation
- Write your double niche — not just “party” but “adults only party cruises in the Caribbean”
- Write your niche sentence: “I help _____ experience _____.”
- Search your niche on Instagram and TikTok — if content exists, demand exists
Narrow is not small. Narrow is powerful. The tighter your niche the easier your marketing — forever.
Build The Brand
“A name without a bank account is just a vibe. Today you get both.”
- Pick your brand name — check Instagram, TikTok, and Google for availability
- Lock in your handles across all platforms even the ones you are not using yet
- Set up your business email using your brand name
- Set up your payment method — Cash App Business, Venmo Business, or Stripe
Keep your business money separate from day one. Mixing it is a headache you do not want at tax time.
Open Your Store
“Your store works while you sleep. Set it up right and let it run.”
- Sign up at creator.expedia.com — free account, takes 10 minutes
- Build your first store collection around your niche — hotels, packages, experiences
- Save your unique storefront link somewhere you can always find it
- Sign up for Viator affiliate for excursions and activities
- Add both links to every platform bio right now
Hotel link + Viator excursion link = double commission from the same client. Stack your links every time.
Build A FOMO Package
“Nobody decides to book a trip. They see something that makes them feel like they’re missing out. Create that feeling.”
✈️ 5 Nights · Adults Only · All-Inclusive · October 2025
DM me CANCUN to get the full details.
- Pick a destination in your niche — research hotel, flights, one excursion
- Write your FOMO hook — make it feel exclusive and limited
- Set a simple CTA — DM a keyword, reply, or email you
- Design a graphic in Canva — bold, scroll-stopping, on-brand
- Build 2 to 3 packages total so you always have something to post
No form needed. “DM me BALI” converts better than a Google Form every single time.
Start Posting
“Post more than you think is necessary. Then post some more.”
- Post on your personal page first — your existing audience is your warmest lead. Let them know what you are building.
- Then post on your brand page — same content, same energy, different audience growing alongside it
- Pick one platform and master it before touching another — TikTok is saturated, try Pinterest, Facebook groups, or YouTube Shorts
- Content mix: 40% packages · 30% destination inspo · 20% travel tips · 10% personal
- Every post ends with your affiliate link or a CTA to DM you
- Every post points to your Kit landing page — “Don’t miss the deals — link in bio”
- Plan 5 posts for the next 2 weeks — write them out now while you are motivated
The people who already follow you are not strangers — they just did not know you were about to start charging. Tell them. Today.
Launch TripLink™
“Options are free to them. TripLink™ is what you charge for. Stop giving it away.”
TripLink™ — Your Only Service
$59Intro rate for the first 25 clients. Then $97.

- Set your turnaround time — 24 or 48 hours — and commit to it
- Confirm your payment method is working and easy to share
- Post about TripLink™ at least once this week — tell people it exists
Collect payment before you build. Every time. A paid invoice means a serious client.
Build The List
“Your followers are rented. Your email list is yours forever. Build it like your income depends on it — because it will.”
- Set up Kit — free account, your email platform and landing page in one
- Build your landing page — short, clean, one sign-up field, that is it
- Add your Kit link to every single bio across all platforms
- Write your welcome email — drop a deal in immediately, make it feel VIP
- Deals go to subscribers before they hit social media — always
Post a deal on social and mention it went to subscribers yesterday. That alone makes people sign up. Nobody wants to miss out.
Set It. Market It. Let It Run.
“Build it once. Market it consistently. Let the bookings come to you.”
- Check emails and DMs — respond, follow up, qualify
- Check Creator Hub for new bookings and commissions
- Update or swap out an expired package if needed
- Send one email or deal to your list
- Done.
- Pick ONE platform first. Master it. Then add another.
- TikTok is saturated — Pinterest, Facebook groups, and YouTube Shorts have room
- When one platform brings in bookings consistently — then expand
- Use some of your commission income to pay for promoted posts on your best platform
One platform done well beats five platforms done poorly. Build where it sticks.
