Jess Dales doesn’t call herself an Instagrammer, that is a lame name I gave her. She would say travel blogger or visual storyteller and those both would be very true and she is very good at both of those things. But the primary way that Jess gets her visuals and stories out into the world is Instagram and it always has been. I wanted to understand how this all worked. How she built up a following of over 300,000 people. How she has found ways to get paid. What things about all this have been hard. What are the choices she has made. And how exactly do you get paid to go to Slovenia by posting pictures on a free app that most people scroll through on their phones. Turns out Jess is awesome and was willing to share about how all this happened and how it all works.
