1.   Introduce yourself, your niche and the size of your audience right off the bat so they can know immediately if you're a good fit.

2.   Mention their product or service would be interesting for your audience and work in why they're likely to engage or buy.

3.   Share a few ideas of how you'd incorporate their product or service into your content so they can easily see the potential of working with you.

4.   Link to one of your favorite short content pieces so they can quickly see your style.

5.   After piquing their interest about the possibilities, ask them to jump on a call to discuss more.

Hi, I'm Zach,

I would love to take some photos and share my experience on my account which gets engagement from celebrities and successful entrepreneur friends in exchange for complimentary nights at your hotel in your best room for January 22-27th, 2017, two people, plus anything else you would like to offer (airport transfer, food, spa experience etc etc).

We can do the following:

1. Create One (1) positive instagram post per complimentary night (min of 2 nights) 2. Create One (1) positive review (5 star) on Trip Advisor and Facebook.

Our social media channels are @nathanlatka, @mygoodtravel 2

Million+ reach on Instagram with a special concentration on influencers in Hollywood. Demo: 70% female age 18-40 in the United States (85% US followers and 15% European followers).

Our posts will hit the top posts of all of Instagram. So when people search #balihotels #bali, #balispa, etc etc, they will see my post first. They will click on my picture, look at the caption, click on your Instagram page or website which will create more leads and sales for you. I've worked with everyone from the Four Seasons & Sheraton to boutique hotels, villas and resorts like Hotel Villa Carlton in Salzburg, Hotel Muse in Bangkok, Mandala Spa and Villas in Boracay and many more.

Please let me know if you need any references etc, thank you very much!
