In this episode, I'm joined by travel content creator and entrepreneur Emily Cooper to talk about what it really takes to build a full-time career creating travel content. From leaving her career as an epidemiologist to traveling the world, landing brand deals, and building multiple income streams, Emily shares the honest behind-the-scenes of turning a passion for travel into a sustainable business.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Emily transitioned from epidemiologist to full-time travel content creator
• How she grew her platform from scratch, and why she focused on having fun before treating it like a business
• The reality of making money as a travel creator, including brand deals, affiliate marketing, gifted trips, and multiple income streams
• Whether travel creators actually get their trips paid for (and what happens behind the scenes)
• How to become a travel creator even if you can't afford to travel yet
• Tips for landing your first paid brand partnership and why follower count isn't everything
• Why treating content creation like a business changes everything, and how to build a sustainable creator career

We hope you enjoy the episode!
