How we’re supporting travel influencers during COVID
Most of us are disappointed we haven’t been able to jet off on holiday this year. But if you’re a travel influencer who relies on trips to exotic destinations to make money, we bet COVID-19 travel restrictions are more than just disappointing.
In fact, with sponsorship deals at a record low, the pandemic is forcing many travel influencers to consider quitting their dream job for a regular nine to five.
But before you swap your beach-ready shades and sandals for an office-appropriate suit and shirt, wait just a moment.
Here at SoSpoilt, we’re on a mission to solve the problem currently faced by travel influencers. So, you can get paid to safely spoil your fans with travel content throughout the pandemic and beyond.
What’s the problem?
Traditionally, you make money as a travel influencer by teaming up with major brands. Airlines, hotel chains, and other companies in the tourism sector pay you to go on holiday and feature their products in your social media or blog content.
But the travel industry is one of the worst hit by the pandemic. Already, COVID-19 has forced several longstanding companies to shut down. And the Association of British Travel Agents worries it could claim over 18% of the sector’s jobs.
So, it’s no surprise that most travel companies have had to drastically cut their spend on influencer marketing. This means it’s now almost impossible for you to find sponsorship deals.
What’s more, even if you do land sponsorship, you don’t always get paid. Ever-changing lockdown and quarantine rules mean paid travel opportunities are constantly being postponed or cancelled.
How we’re helping travel influencers like you
So, now we’ve explained your problem, let’s talk about how SoSpoilt can become part of your solution.
We’re helping travel influencers like you keep earning during COVID by:
- Showing you a better source of income
End your dependance on sponsorship and realise a more reliable source of financial support: your own loyal fanbase.
As an influencer on our platform, you simply invite fans to pay to support your work, access more of your content, and attend your live chats or virtual events. This totally cuts out the need for sponsorship from travel firms.
We’ve found that fans are more than willing to pay to access travel content and support influencers like you right now. Because, while COVID means your fans can’t just jet off abroad on holiday, they’re all preparing for the day they can.
- Giving you the freedom to create
With restrictions on travel still in place, you may wonder what travel content you can currently create for paying fans on SoSpoilt.
But we’ve made sure the only limit is your own creativity.
You could stream live chats about destinations you’ve visited in the past. You might share secret recipes for foods you’ve discovered on your travels. You may even post behind-the-scenes footage of old photos on your social media feed.
With no content censoring and most file types accepted, what you share and how you share it is entirely up to you. So, even if you can’t post fresh foreign holiday snaps, there are still plenty of ways to spoil your fans with travel content.
- Letting you pocket more of what you earn
Unlike other platforms, we like to give influencers like you complete control over their earnings.
Set your own prices for your content and choose to cash out your earnings weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
We’ll even pay you in your own currency, so you don’t waste money on exchange fees.
