We've put this page together to help us better organize opportunities so that we can respond more quickly and better organize our calendar. We are NOT "pay for play" but we DO have to prioritize partners and opportunities that involve products we want / need as well as experiences that allow us to create great content. With that being said, we do recognize that not all brands have the same resources so we try never to say "NO" if the opportunity is a perfect fit for our brand.
Contact us for full details, everything is negotiable if the experience and opportunity is a good fit for our audience!
Fam Trips and Hosted Experiences:
ManTripping does accept Fam Trip invites.
- We prefer individual experiences, either traveling with my wife (Heather also serves as my camera-woman so that we can produce higher-quality video and is able to publish on CouplePlaces.com as well as MSN.com). Alternatively, we like to partner with other male blogger friends who serve a similar purpose in terms of supporting with camera and video as well as helping to produce a better "vibe" for the experience. In those cases where a blogger friend is invited - he will be publishing on his site as well and potentially additional content on MenWhoBlog.com as well.
- While everything is up for negotiation, we do request that all expenses are covered including transportation and airport incidentals such as parking costs or Uber/Lyft.
- Our standard content policy is a minimum of one long-form blog post on ManTripping.com that will also be published on MSN.com and typically 1 reel or IG profile post for each full-day on location.

How Our Roundups, Gear Guides, Gift Guides Work ...
We do accept earned media, product samples are NOT required (but are appreciated!) ... receiving a product sample and or filling out this form does not guarantee coverage - but it does make it easier for us to include you. However, if the product is crap or not appropriate, then we're under no obligation to include it.
That said, we anticipate featuring 8-10 products per feature. This will appear on ManTripping.com and MSN.com.
Sponsored opportunities are available: $250 for the top spot, includes category exclusivity for the roundup as well as social media coverage on ManTripping Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
$125 for spots two, three, and four in the roundup and at our discretion social media coverage.
Entries will be reviewed on a rolling basis, product info and review samples may be sent at any time but PLEASE let us know what product is being submitted for which guide so we don't just get random stuff showing up without knowing who it's from or what it's for.
