Affiliate Programs that To Make More Money

Booking.com

I remember when I started blogging a few years ago as a teenager. I had absolutely no idea about running a blog – and making money from it. In fact, making money didn’t use to be a goal for most bloggers at that time.

Things have changed a lot since then. I stopped blogging and went on to live a mediocre life. When I came back to the world of blogging a few years later, things were different. Blogging was not just a hobby to pass your time. It had become a serious thing, people were taking bloggers seriously.

And one thing that attracted so many people towards blogging is the potential to make money. Yes, bloggers make some good chunk of money and they work hard for it. When we talk about making money from a blog, it brings us to one of the most sought after ways of doing so – becoming an affiliate.

Affiliate programs are pretty simple: As an affiliate, you advertise a range of products a company has to offer. A potential buyer comes to your website, reads your post, and clicks a link that takes him to the website of the seller. If the potential buyer buys a product after following your link, you earn a commission on the sale.

For every type of bloggers including travel bloggers like me, affiliate programs are very rewarding. There are a number of affiliate programs you can sign up for. But in this article, I will show you just 5 affiliate programs that actually help me make money from my blog.

Travel tip: Booking your hotel rooms in advance can lead to better rates and help you avoid the last minute rush.

1. Booking-com

Priceline Group’s Booking-com is undoubtedly one of the most well-known brands in the travel industry. Millions of people search and book rooms via Booking-com.

The brand’s trust and the potential to convert buyers is what makes Booking-com one of my favourites. In fact, it was the first affiliate program I applied for when I began my blog.

Whenever I travel to a new place, I stay in different types of accommodation and then publish a detailed review about them. In my reviews, I include a Booking.com affiliate link. When a traveler reads my review and books a room, it counts as a referral. After the traveler completes his stay at the hotel, it earns me my commission.

I recommend Booking-com affiliate program for their straightforward approval process, easy to use tools, and quick payments.

2. Jetradar (Travelpayouts)

What is the first thing I search online when I am planning a trip? I search for flights. Every traveller who wants to fly to a country will have to book a flight and flying is usually a costly affair.

Thanks to a number of trusted online portals or search engines, travellers are now able to book their flights at attractive rates. These search engines can show you cheapest day to fly, ideal airline to fly with as well as other tips to help you find the best flight.

Jetradar is one of my favorite services when it comes to searching cheap flights. The search engine compares flight prices from a number of providers and airlines and you can book the one that fits your expectation.

As a travel blogger, you can direct your readers to the search engine where they will book a flight or two – earning you a percentage of the profit.

Jetradar affiliate program runs under the Travelpayouts umbrella where they have easy to use tools you can use on your blog. You can also create a white-label flight search engine and put operate it under your own brand name.

I have created my own flight search engine where my readers can search for cheap flights. In fact, they can search a flight without even leaving my website.

3. GetYourGuide

Different places have activities and attractions unique to them. It could be a desert safari in Africa or reaching the top of Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building. These activities attract tourists from all over the world who spend money and help the economy.

Gone are the days when you booked an activity via phone or after reaching your destination. Just like hotels, you can book activities in advance. This is when GetYourGuide comes in picture.

GetYourGuide provides thousands of activities in different countries which travellers can book in advance. GYG takes care of payment and booking. If you happen to enjoy some activities, you can publish their list and suggest them to your reader.

Rest of the things remain same. That is, a tourist visits the place, completes an activity and you earn a commission.
