This week's creator opportunities are incredible, if I may say so myself.

We've got:

➡️ A contact for AFAR's Director of Social, who is looking to hire a remote video editor

➡️ A fully-funded expedition to the Polar Arctic next year

➡️ An outdoors magazine paying up to $2 per word for stories

See the whole list here.

So many newsletters curate opportunities these days. You've seen them, I've seen them, we've all seen them.

So how is ours different?

I spend numerous hours each week in these two distinct ways to ensure you see the final 10 listings:

  1. First, I collect everything that comes across my desk (ie., on social, LinkedIn, email, and even word of mouth) into a monster file I keep on my laptop.
  2. Then, I personally make sure that the opportunity is a) real, b) valuable, and c) hasn’t expired.

That last one is important.

I receive many of these other newsletters, and too often, they post something that has already expired, wasting everybody’s time.

At Going Places, we value your time, so we triple-check every opportunity we share.

That’s why every listing you see on our list is handpicked by me, curated, and legit.

That’s part of the labor I do each week to run our platform, and today, I’m asking you to support it.

For $8 a month (or $6 a month if you pay annually), you can join us and start getting unlimited access to everything we share.

If you noticed, today's email is not our usual newsletter.

That's because all throughout this week, I'll be inviting you to become our paid member.

Our paid members are the reason we can continue creating both the weekly roundup of these curated opportunities AND the storytelling at the intersection of travel and today's big issues, a combination you won’t find in other newsletters.

My goal this week is to welcome 10 new members.

It’s a small number, but it makes a real difference:

If we reach ten new members this week, we’ll publish our first-ever member spotlight, an interview with one of our members, sent to all 3,000 of our newsletter subscribers.

It’s a way of putting our members’ work in front of a much bigger audience of editors, creators, tourism board representatives, and travelers, and it’s only the beginning of what we plan on building together.

Will you be one of the 10?
