Hi friend!

I’m Chelsea

I’m Chelsea, and I grew up in a small town outside of Portland, Oregon.. but landed myself in Nashville, Tennessee with a man Dana, twin babies Isabella & Emerson, and a career in photography, music, travel, and blogging.

This signature course is going to dive in to one very specific part of my business and it has been the most requested, essentially, since I started working with hotels and that is, how to get free hotels. Enroll in the course here.

First, let me tell you why I’m qualified to teach this.

One, I’ve independently worked with over 85 luxury hotels. I have never used one of those “influencer programs” or apps that claim to get you work with hotels.  All of these collaborations have been established through a simple email pitch.

Two, to my knowledge, every single hotel I’ve worked with has been happy with the deliverables, so I’m not just like scamming them and moving on.

Third, I know influencers with over 3 million followers who can’t get a hotel to comp their stay.  Why? Partially because they are offering a hot pic of them with their big butt in front of the hotel sign, but mostly because the value they’d be adding won’t help convert as many people to buyers (aka hotel guests) as you’d think.

Allow me to introduce…

The Official Course—-

Shoot & Stay : How to Get Free Hotels

This course is not JUST for experienced bloggers and influencers.  This course is for you, the one who only has a few thousand followers and has maybe never picked up a camera.  Within 6 months, with the steps from this course, you will be able to pitch hotels and get hotel collabs successfully.  You still have to put in the work, but I promise this will get you closer and closer to traveling the world at low to zero cost like you’ve never seen before.

Let me guess… you’ve got MORE questions. Let me answer them for ya!

Q: How do I know that I’ll actually be able to get free hotels from this?

The truth is, you still need to work hard, have the skill with shooting photos, editing, packaging it up… and selling it. I can’t force you to be good. But I can show you the exact way that I did it and I know FOR SURE that my system works, every. single. time.

Q: Why is this worth nearly $500?

To be honest, if you have to pay $495 one time and then NEVER pay for a hotel again? That’s a steal. Literally. Can you imagine just traveling FREE? It’s suchhhh a good deal for all of these intricate details of the process.
