"Thanks to this course, I got my first free hotel stay within 3 weeks. I stayed 4 nights in a boutique hotel in Spain and only had to create a short video and a few posts. I’ve already saved over €800 on trips I would’ve paid for anyway!"

Vinko

"I spend every winter in Southeast Asia it’s just more affordable and warm… Thanks to Leon, I learned how to work with hotels, and now just 1–2 collabs can cover my entire stay for the month 😄 It’s insane!! AND I don’t have to touch my savings anymore!

Rainer

"I’m working with a hotel chain in Croatia that regularly sends me to their different properties. That I stay there for free is completely self-evident, since I have to shoot the videos at different times of day and over several days. It’s a dream!"

We had the same struggles like you

Going home broke after every vacation. All savings gone, save again just to spend again. A never-ending loop of stress.

Staing in cheap places always searching for the best price-value option in the region

No money left for some pricier fun activities like the panorama flight, bungee jumping or diving

Feeling completely overwhelmed. No idea where to start, afraid to look unprofessional and no real guidance to follow.

Become a hotel content creator

by learning how to...

Learn how to reverse-engineer your travels to maximize visibility, opportunity, and content value. No more random bookings—just intentional journeys that open doors to partnerships and profit.

Even if you’re starting from scratch, we’ll build a polished portfolio using just your phone content. You’ll learn exactly what hotels want to see and how to position yourself as a valuable partner—not just another tourist.

Get templates, word-for-word scripts, and real examples of high-converting messages. Know how to approach hotels with clarity and confidence—even if you’re nervous or new to this.

Skip the gatekeepers. We’ll show you the step-by-step process to identify hotel decision-makers fast—without awkward phone calls or waiting at front desks. Just smart digital sleuthing that works.

Understand your value from day one. You’ll learn how to price your work, ask for payment, and negotiate packages that make you and the hotel feel like winners—without second-guessing yourself.

We’ll teach you what actually matters: clean, compelling content that sells rooms and tells a brand story. You’ll learn how to shoot with intention, even with a smartphone, and deliver content hotels will reuse and love.

Protect yourself with basic legal and financial know-how—no business degree needed. You’ll learn how to structure deals, get paid globally, and stay tax-compliant whether you’re at home or on the road.

This isn’t just about one-off free stays. You’ll learn how to build a repeatable system that attracts better clients, scales your income, and turns hotel collabs into a creative career with total freedom.

What can you expect?

You’ll go from zero to hotel-ready in a matter of weeks with this conversion-tested system. Whether you’re starting out with just a phone or already have a bit of experience, you’ll learn the exact system we use to land hotel deals since over 8 years. Here’s how the journey unfolds.

Q&A

Nope! This course is built specifically for creators with small or no following. We focus on high-value content, smart strategy, and irresistible pitching—not vanity metrics. With our approach you will deliver content to marketing teams that they will post on their own channel, not yours.

100%. Many of our students create successful hotel content with just their smartphone. We’ll teach you how to shoot, edit, and present content that wows hotels—without expensive gear.

The Hotel Creator Academy was designed for complete beginners. However, you should have an eye for aesthetics and some first experience with mobile content creation. You’ll get step-by-step guidance from building your first pitch to landing your first collab (and beyond). But the content can only be created by yourself. 🙂

Most students land their first collaboration within 4–8 weeks—some even faster. It depends on how quickly you apply the steps, but we’ve built the system for fast wins.

Yes—there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you complete the core steps and don’t see progress, we’ll refund you. We’re confident in the system—and want it to work for you.

That’s normal! We’ll give you tested templates, messaging scripts, and real outreach examples—plus tips to build your confidence. You’ll be surprised how natural it starts to feel.

While free stays are a great start, we’ll show you exactly how to structure deals that include real payment. You’ll also learn how to scale this into a part-time or full-time business.

Absolutely. Even a few strategic trips can build a powerful portfolio. This system is about smart travel, not constant travel.

With your purchase, you get unlimited access for as long as the program exists, including any updates and bonus content. (More great value is in the making)

That’s okay! The best way to decide is to join our free training—you’ll see real examples, learn key strategies, and find out if hotel content creation is something you truly want to explore. If still unsure, send me a message and we can schedule a short discovery call at hey@genius-travelers.com

What qualifies you to teach me this?

We’ve worked with over 150 hotels across 5 continents.

We traveled to 13 countries for free, saved over $500,000, and made over  $150,000 while living the dream.

We’ve been doing this for over 8 years.

Back then, we applied as photographers, the word “content creator” didn’t even exist in the mainstream yet.

We tested everything and learned what actually works.

We studied marketing, read countless books on sales, and built real friendships with top hotel managers.

I know exactly where you are right now and how to move forward.

We stand by our word: clear deadlines, reliable contact, and honest communication.

I turned all our experience into a repeatable strategy.

You just have to follow the steps, one by one.

I’ve convinced hotels that had never worked with a single creator before.

I learned how to stand out even when hotels get hundreds of pitches every day.
