Work With Us

We are not your typical family, since we travel all over America looking for educational adventures. Tiny houses are the trend right now and we are leading the movement for less stuff and more experiences. Our website has helpful articles for people wanting to join the lifestyle, destination articles helping anyone who travels, and some of our personal story mixed in.

We are very open to sponsorship, partnerships, advertising, television and consulting work. Traveling full time takes an open mind, so if you have an idea about working with us, just use the contact info at the bottom of the page to let us know.

Who Are We?

As a family we have traveled since July 2016 and our journey has taken us to 44 states. The trip has been more than 50,000 miles! Our kids just happen to be named Miles, Journey, and Trip.

Chris started studying graphic arts in high school and college. Since then he has owned an art company and used his computer skills in every job he has worked at. He has experience as a videographer and photographer as well. The technology side of the website is his forte and he takes care of all the routine maintenance required.

Sarah has always had an eye for detail and is in charge of writing all the great articles on our website. For the last three years she has written many great articles for statebystate.net, other websites, and a children’s book. She currently works as an online editor as well. Her artistic side has really flourished on this adventure and she has become a wonderful photographer too.

Teamwork is an integral part of our values. We both work well as a team on any project we undertake and strive for excellence in everything we do.

Our Demographic

State By State is targeted towards families who travel or want to travel. However it also attracts a wide readership of average people wishing to live vicariously through our adventure or who are planning their family vacation.

The demographics for statebystate.net range broadly in age between 18-64. Although our website is targeted towards families, we still have lots of single people or couples visiting the website daily. A large portion of our visitors are using a hand held device and our website uses an adaptive theme to provide a great experience no matter what kind of device is used.

A large portion of our audience is in the United States (71%). We also receive regular visitors from France (11%), Germany (5.5%), and India (3%). Other countries which attract a consistent viewership include Brazil, Philippines, Canada, Australia, and Ukraine.

So what will You get?

Influence

Our readers trust us. It has taken time and honesty to develop that trust. Since they trust our judgement, they will often plan their travel, accommodations and activities based on our reviews and suggestions. This stems from our honest views, which cannot be bought. Of course we have loved pretty much everything we have done on our adventure and rarely have a bad experience.
We will also share reviews on Google Maps of the places we visit. Being a level 7 Local Guide makes our reviews stand out. Plus we will generally fix any errors in hours or location. If the business isn’t listed on Google we will even add the location, something that Google would normally charge a business for.

Professionalism

We don’t just slap together an article, we take pride in creating high quality content. This helps ensure the content will be shared and makes your brand/destination look it’s best. We use high quality camera equipment and then edit the photos professionally afterwards. Thus ensuring they look great and don’t slow down load times.
Our professional photographs are featured on our social media feeds and within posts on our website. Since we are taking the photos at your request, we allow a Creative Commons license to our photography, which means your company is more than welcome to use these for promotions. In addition, if you request before hand, we will even send you some high quality shots to use commercially as well.

Exposure

Full coverage of any trips we take (or your product) on our blog. Including written articles, social media posts, and possibly even video.
We will put your equipment or review multiple places on our website, which increases visibility and it makes sure your content isn’t hard to find. Plus we will promote each piece of the puzzle to your target audience, further increasing it’s reach.
