Great list of travel bloggers and inspiration!

Love this, Clive! We always enjoy seeing what you experiment with next 😊
Wishing you lots of readers and, of course, lots of earnings along the way!

Really curious to see where this experiment takes you. Keep us posted!

I’ve just taken the plunge and started a Substack to sit alongside my existing travel websites. I’ve called it Clive’s Detours, where I’ll be writing about the places, people, food, wildlife and experiences I come across while living and travelling around Spain.

I’ve just published my first post, about an unexpected stop at a cacao shop in Ronda that turned into nearly two hours of learning about chocolate and cacao.

It’s a bit of an experiment at the moment, but I’m interested to see where it goes and whether Substack can work as another way of reaching people who enjoy this kind of first-hand travel writing.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’ll be happy to pass your feedback along 💛

I had a great experience with the Travelpayouts support team. They were helpful, professional, and responsive throughout the process, and they explained everything clearly. I appreciate the quality of the assistance and the willingness to help resolve my questions. Thank you to the Travelpayouts team!

I found the examples of AI being used in travel email campaigns particularly interesting. Travel audiences can have very different interests, so using customer behavior and past interactions to personalize recommendations makes a lot of sense. I also like the focus on testing and refining campaigns rather than relying on AI to do everything automatically. These AI-Based Email Marketing Strategies for Travel Affiliate Partners show how personalization can make travel emails more relevant without losing the human side of the message.
