3 Chapter 1 Types of Influencers Am I a Travel Influencer Travel Influencers come in all shapes and sizes! Some have lists the size of small cities, while others are just getting started and are building a niche audience that loves their content. Both ends of the influencer spectrum are welcome in the IndieRV Influencer Program. Deciding if you are a Travel Influencer is easy! Just ask yourself this one very important question Do I have something to say, that people like to hear? If your answer is Yes! Then this program is perfect for you. We are currently looking to add Influencers from the following genres- Bloggers Do you write amazing content for your blog or professionally for travel businesses? We re looking for folks who have a way with words that captivates and invites readers into their stories. Bloggers with micro to macro audiences are welcome to join our team of Influencers, where they will grasp the opportunity to easily re-purpose their content into usable resources for our members. Easily take content from your current blog posts to use on IndieRV! Simply put your content into our Bucket List format to be included on IndieRV s Bucket List-which will back link to your original post for added exposure. Vloggers Are you a master videography? Do you make great videos about places you ve been to on your travel adventures? We d love to have you join our team! Vloggers with great videos about the best places to go and thing to see when traveling in and out of your RV are needed on the IndieRV Influencer Team! Influencers with video content will need to provide a written transcription of the video or a formatted Bucket List Item, that we will link to your video or video library. Socialites Are you a social media master? Do you have a booming Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or Facebook Account? We would love to add Influencers who have captured large audiences (or are building large audiences). Content would need to be submitted as a formatted Bucket List Item, which is then linked to your content account for additional reach.

4 Chapter 2 Program Details What do Influencers do? Influencers provide content to the IndieRV Website for Members of the Travel Network to enjoy! They give details on the Best of the Best Place to Go & Things to See, after experiencing these destination and attractions first hand. They also play a big role in spreading the word about IndieRV through social media, group participation and live events! Bucket Lists Our site focuses strongly on Place to Go & Things to See! These are items fellow travelers will want to add to their bucket lists. For this reason, we ve created an infinity bucket list- with content crowdsourced from our Influencer Team! There is a required format, that Influencers will need to use when submitting their posts. This format is easy to use and requires very little effort. A Bucket List Item is required every month! Monthly Bucket List Items will need to be submitted before a Press Trip can be requested for that month. Social Media Social Media is a beautiful thing! And as an Influencer you will need to use it as often. IndieRV Influencers are given hashtags, banners and images that they can easily share and link to! We encourage Influencers to share weekly bucket list items they ve written with their audience, as well as featured articles published after Press Trips. Participation Use the Heading style to break each chapter up into unique subsections. In the Table of Contents, headings are indented underneath chapter names with a distinctive look. They make it easy for readers to find and jump to specific content. Engaging with members is one of the 3 main goals of IndieRV- and we expect our Influencer to actively participate in conversations, comments, and online events.
