EXCLUSIVE Invitation

Here’s Your “Master Key” to Learn How to Unlock a Life of Freedom and Leisure.

Your Fast-Track
to the Life you Want…

Dear Reader,

What if you could take all of your skills -- even skills you may not know you have -- and combine them into more income, more freebies, and more fun?

Here at Great Escape Publishing, we’re in the business of finding the best opportunities for everyday people like you who want to break out of the norm and design exactly the life you want.

And if you’re looking for the MOST income, while having the MOST fun possible, here’s what to do: diversify.

Take a trip and bring home both stories AND photographs. Or bring back the contacts you need to bring a group of friends along with you next time and sell your itinerary.

It’s more bang for your buck and more variety on the ground, too.

Here’s what I mean…

If you like sharing and connecting with other people… Start a blog on a specific topic and monetize it, so it brings in an income while you update it here and there. Top bloggers can earn upwards of six-figures a year.

If you have a camera or phone that takes video… Here’s a new one. Take short videos with your camera -- or even your phone -- and sell them to tourism agencies, hotels, local businesses, vacation rental owners, and more, for hundreds of dollars each, even as a beginner!

If you love to eat… Food writing is an active market in need of new content. Break in here and you can literally get paid to eat the best meals of your life.

If you love to shop… Try your hand at bulk shopping online… and reselling what you find to help fund your travels. You can do this from home to fund your very first trip or replace a full-time income all together. Christina Gillick started an online store as a side hustle—and within the first six months was earning more than from her day job.

If you like planning trips… Once we’re all sprung from home, gather a group of friends and put together a tour to anyplace in the world you want to go. As a beginner, leading tours like this could cover the cost of your trip...and as you scale up your business you can start pocketing a few thousand per tour to as much as $10,000 per tour after a few years of learning the ropes.

If you need a massage… Even SPA writing is a niche market that you can approach. Just imagine… you could get paid to indulge in luxurious spa treatments at spas all over the world, while you’re also cashing in on other great markets, like the ones above.

An Exclusive Invitation For You

You’re probably wondering how you can try your hand at all of these different things. Well today I’m going to let you in on an exclusive opportunity for you to get a “master key” to our entire library of resources…

Take a peek inside…

In other words, you'll get behind the scenes access to every secret uncovered by our industry experts… and guidance from professional photographers and writers who will share with you the insights they've learned on-the-job. It'll shave years off your learning curve and help set you up for success from the start.

Your master key unlocks every single get-paid-to-travel resource in our library for the rest of your life.

This not only includes all the resources we've already published, but everything we'll ever publish in the future.

The small and private group of folks who hold these “master keys” are called Premier Pass Members.

And today I’d like to invite you to join our Premier Pass Member fold.

Taking advantage of ALL the opportunities that are right for you is what Premier Pass Membership is all about.

It’s helping YOU live the exact life you want… a life with more travel in the future, more freedom, more flexibility, and more passion… and doing it in the most effective way possible.

Premier Pass Membership is your fast-track to living this new lifestyle.

Invest in Yourself This Year

If you’re ready to ditch the 9-to-5 grind and finally start living the life you’ve dreamed of, we can help you get there by giving you access to literally EVERY ground-breaking program we offer (including our “out-of-print” programs ONLY available to Premier Pass Members).

You get our travel writing programs…

You get our photography programs…

You get our other best-selling programs on earning an income abroad or right in your own hometown…

You get our language programs…

You get all our bonus reports… brand-new power hours… launch parties... professional memberships… and a whole lot more.

Everything You Need to Fund a Life of Adventure… All in One Place

From travel writing… to photography… to leading tours… to shopping… to writing about your last spa visit… whatever you see as your favorite income stream, you’re covered as a Premier Pass Member.

And perhaps the best part is that the opportunities are endless. You can start with what interests you most… and then, your lifetime access will give you plenty of time to explore additional income streams. You might find you enjoy a path you never would have otherwise thought to try!

If you’re having trouble deciding where to start first (which is common, since there are so many opportunities out there!), this is also a great way to “dip your toes in” and try out a few different programs, and see what you like best. Whether you like travel writing, photography, tours, blogging, video or maybe a combination… you’ll always have professional advice and support right at your fingertips.

The coming year is shaping up to be a great year for freelancers. And as a freelancer, the BEST thing you can do is diversify—pull an income from multiple sources –just like these folks have:

Your master key unlocks them all.

Here’s a sneak peek inside our newly updated Point, Shoot and Profit: Turn Your Photos into Cash program—just one of the potential income streams you’ll discover as a Premier Pass Member…

(Note: As a Premier Pass Member, you get early exclusive access to all our course updates! Everyone else waits longer, but you get access to it the instant it goes live on our website.)

From watching your very first video with your guide, professional photographer Bonnie Caton, you’ll discover how to enjoy freedom, prestige and luxury, as you travel the world snapping photos of romantic, exotic people and locales.

Before you know it, you could be traveling the world in style—while someone else foots the bill.

You even get tons of new bonus materials to help you setup your photo business properly from the start, present yourself professionally, and ultimately potentially make more money from your new hobby.

HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY WRITING ABOUT YOUR TRAVELS

For years, travel enthusiasts from all walks of life – accountants, stay-at-home moms, university professors, opera singers, architects, massage therapists, school teachers, and others – have relied on the secrets they've discovered in our travel writing programs to transform themselves into travel writers with no prior experience at all.

One travel writer I know was paid to take an eight-day jaunt to Ireland where she stayed in an authentic cottage. 

Another to go exploring in and around Cancun and Isla Mujeres, Mexico.

And another spends his time exploring Caribbean golf courses and white sand beaches.

Imagine being able to leave the world of commuter traffic and 40-hour work weeks behind… to call your own shots… get your name in print… travel the world. You could see and do things most people only get to dream about…

Rather than paying through the nose to experience a once-a-year, rushed, week-long trip… you can take your time and explore at your leisure, getting all the best treatment for free or at a fraction of the cost, with our insider secrets.

We’ll help you get started—quickly and easily—with the Lazy Man’s Guide to Travel Writing.

It’s just one of the dozens of travel writing resources available to you as a Premier Pass Member.

It’s an easy, no-stress, way to land your byline in magazines, get paid, and gain the credibility you need to get invited on trips and handed fun perks at no cost.

Inside its pages you’ll discover things like:

• Why the absolute fastest way to become a travel writer doesn't involve getting on a plane – you can do it in your own backyard.
• The 5 kinds of articles that are easiest to write and sell (especially if you've never written anything but emails or reports for work). They're all formulaic. And you get all the blueprints. So you can recreate your success again and again.
• Three amazing "Lazy Man" techniques for spontaneously generating ideas you'll have lots of fun with and editors will snatch up.
• 15 quick and easy tips for making sure you've got a piece that'll sell and you haven't forgotten anything in it.
• How to write once and get paid twice (or three or four times) …

And more …

Discover Even More Ways to Fund
Your Travels

As a Premier Pass Member, you get access to our Travel Videos for Profit program.

So the next time you’re on vacation, you can easily switch your camera or Smartphone to “video” mode, and know how to sell those videos for income. There are a few simple (but important) tricks of the trade that will make your videos look smooth and professional—making them more likely to sell—and program creator Tom Reissmann will generously share those secrets inside the program.

Video has a nice payout too—sometimes double or even triple what you’d earn if you sold still photos alone.

About a year after attending her first video workshop, Melanie Wood landed over $2,000 worth of travel perks for a trip-of-a-lifetime to Peru in exchange for her photos and videos.

And Joe Sindorf has cracked the code for earning fourteen times as much from his video clips than he earns from his regular photos. And it doesn’t require a ton of extra time either. When you already have your camera out shooting photos, you can easily learn how to press the video button and create short, saleable clips you can sell.

As a Premier Pass Member, you’ll learn it all.

24/7 Access –
Anytime You Need it

No matter where you are in the world, so long as you have a computer and Internet connection, you can access the resource you need, whenever you need it.

PROFESSIONAL Advice From Top
Industry Experts

As I mentioned previously – all of our programs are created by experts in their fields -- folks who are not only teaching, but also SUCCESSFULLY doing what they teach.

And the great part is, many of these experts started out exactly where you are today… with no experience and no idea where to start.

But today they’re living the life they previously only dreamed of. They all found a way to make it happen… and they’ll show you how they did it, so you can get there faster, with fewer mishaps along the way.

This is YOUR chance to learn the secrets to success that so many of our travel writing experts… photography experts… videography experts… tour leaders… and bloggers have been using to re-shape their life.

You can’t find this information on the street and it would take you years of trial-and-error to learn it for yourself.

The information you'll gain when you become a Premier Pass Member, could quite literally, change your life — change the way you experience the world. Bring a whole new dimension of fun and enjoyment to your life. And show you how to claim cash, too.

And here’s something else to help…

Our Monthly Membership Programs Are Yours Too… Forever!

The lifetime value of these memberships alone is worth thousands… but when you become a Premier Pass Member this week, you’ll unlock them all.

Unlimited access to membership #1:

ITWPA

This professional organization is called the International Travel Writers & Photographers Alliance (ITWPA) and is known as a “success accelerator” for its members.

When you’re a card-carrying member of the ITWPA, you get an instant confidence boost and a membership ID badge that vouches for your status as a professional writer and photographer.

It also makes it much easier to succeed when you’re not doing it all by yourself.

The group's mission is not just to help members produce more. It can also help you sell more.

Here's some of what’s included with your ITWPA membership:

• A twice-monthly newsletter designed to help you write better articles, shoot better photos, travel smarter, and earn more.
• A subscription to the Travel Post Monthly, the group's online travel magazine, which is a great place to get a byline and get your work in front of editors looking to buy content.
• Exclusive invitations and information about FAM trips – the (often) free trips travel writers are invited to take in exchange for getting their stories published in magazines and online.
• Your personalized ITWPA Member ID Badge, an instant confidence boost which gives you the polish of a pro and can open doors around the world.
• And much more!

Ten years’ membership is valued at $2,990… but Premier Pass members enjoy unlimited membership!

And it doesn’t stop there…

Unlimited access to membership #2:

SNAP & SELL PHOTO CLUB

As a Premier Pass Member, you’ll instantly gain full access to Snap & Sell Photo Club Premium membership...

With the Snap & Sell Photo Club, you’ll find out how to sell your photos through online stock photo agencies -- where you put them online and they collect income for you while you’re off working, playing, sleeping, or traveling. Just upload them once, and that’s it -- your work is done.

It’s the perfect complement to other income streams as it requires almost no upkeep once you get it set up.

You’ll learn from stock photographers Shelly Perry, Danny Warren, Andrea Gingerich, Steve Collender, Lise Gagné, Daniel Nahabedian, and more. You also get access to monthly photo reviews and get feedback from the working pros I just told you about.

A 10-year membership in the Snap & Sell Photo Club is valued at $4,680.

But as a Premier Pass Member – your membership is included for as long as you want.

And that’s not all…

Unlimited access to membership #3:

Travel Writer’s Café

This membership is my favorite “boost” for you—a friendly, supportive group where you can grow and thrive as a writer. You’ll find your tribe here…

When you become a Premier Pass Member today, you’ll get unlimited membership in our popular Travel Writer’s Café.

The Travel Writer’s Café is essentially a private “club” for up-and-coming travel writers. It’s a group whose sole purpose is to get you from where you are now… to as many as 100 travel articles sold and a dozen press trips lined up within your first year.

We’ve built a community of editors and writers including Jen Stevens, Ian Aldrich, Tracey Minkin, Noreen Kompanik, Theresa St John, and more… all with one goal—to help you land travel writing success.

Each month we’ll focus—as a group—on building up one specific travel-writing skill, until you’re out there landing bylines and adventures… and until you, too, can say you’ve found the lifestyle you’ve always wanted to live.

As part of this group, you’ll benefit from:

• Monthly challenges designed to get you writing the kinds of travel stories that sell.
• Updates on which editors are buying—and what they’re looking for—so you can “work smart” to avoid wasting time and earn more bylines, faster.
• A forum where you can get your questions answered, gain the confidence you need to leap over those roadblocks that typically trip people up, and make friends with like-minded folks, sharing the same journey.
• Feedback and help from club members who can bring their “in-the-trenches advice and perspective” to the table and share powerful, useful insights you won’t get anyplace else.
• A platform where all the members can exchange story ideas and notes… a mechanism for insight, encouragement, and support that will prove invaluable!

And it’s all yours FOREVER—when you become a member today.

Ten years’ membership in The Travel Writer’s Café is valued at $5,880… but it’s yours as a Premier Pass Member, and you can enjoy the support of this group forever…

But the savings don’t stop there…

I am so pleased to have access to all of the programs online. My own university program for photography and travel writing to tap into any time I like. It's been worth every penny. Within a year of purchasing the program, I had photos accepted at the five stock agencies I submitted to and some have sold already. – Teresa Otto

It is really fabulous to have access to all programs in the resource library without further expenditures.– Beverly Hart

The Premier Pass Membership is a great bargain and a fantastic resource. I have been using my membership since 2010 and have benefited greatly from the hands on classes, the on-line classes and resources. I would highly recommend membership to anyone serious about travel writing and/or photography. To me it's a no-brainer. – Wayne Simpson

One of the neatest things I have done is to sign up for Great Escape Publishing's Premier Pass membership. I have access to all their programs, and every time a new program is added, it automatically appears in MyTravelPrograms, so I am updated on new ideas and theories without ever paying another cent. The motivation alone has enabled me to earn money with my stock photography and videography. And for the price I paid for lifetime access, I could have bought only 3 or 4 programs individually. Premier Pass Membership is a no brainer! – Elizabeth Coughlan
