More About Prizes and Nominations 

We’ll be selecting winners from three categories. There’s only one grand prize, but you can also win bonuses from brands. The winners will be announced on December 22.

1. The Black Friday Sprint Grand Prize
   The Grand Prize is an iPhone 15, which will be taken home by the contestant who earns the most overall with participating brands throughout the promotion period.
   
2. Top Earner for a specific brand
   Each of the brands mentioned below will reward up to three of their top earners with special conditions to help them earn even more after the promotion ends.
   Brands: Tiqets, Airhelp, Eatwith, Go City, GetYourGuide, Airalo, and other top brands. Find out more about the bonuses offered by the brands.

3. Quick Start
   The same principle as above applies here, except you have to have never earned with the brand prior to the promotion to be eligible for the Quick Start nomination. Newbies, on your marks!
   Brands: Booking.com, Airalo, Tiqets, Kiwitaxi, GetYourGuide, Go City, and other top brands. Find out more about the bonuses offered by the brands.

You can win multiple nominations. For example, take home the grand prize and be the top earner with multiple brands. Or you could win the Quick Start nomination for one brand and be the top earner for another.

Bonuses From Brands

Here are examples of just a few of the bonuses on offer. You can find the full list on this Notion page.

How to Take Part in the Black Friday Sprint

Take just 2 minutes of your time to sign up on the promotion landing page!

Access to brands’ promotional terms will open on November 17. A section will appear in your Travelpayouts personal account presenting the participating brands, and you’ll find detailed descriptions of each brand’s special offers and promo codes on their Travelpayouts pages for you to share with your audience. 

How to Get Ahead

We’ll be sending you useful tips on how to get the upper hand over your opponents! They’ll be coming your way throughout the promotion, so be sure to check your emails.

1. Connect to all the participating brands. You’ll find the full list on the promotion landing page. Even if you’ve never worked with a particular brand, give it a try, as you might just end up winning the Quick Start nomination.
   
2. Place more partner tools. Choose your pages with the highest traffic and read the articles below on how to use tools quickly and effectively. 

3. Delegate more tasks. This is one of the main tips that experienced travel bloggers mention frequently, including the renowned creator Somto Ugwueze (Somto Seeks). The more routine work you delegate, the more time you’ll have to prepare content, plan for and study new sources of traffic, and figure out the best ways to implement your affiliate tools. You can hire helpers to place partner links on your posts, and you don’t need to give them full access to your personal account. You can give them delegated access, which won’t allow them to see your earnings nor change any important account information.

4. Bring in additional traffic to your most visited pages by using social networks, newsletter, or paid advertising. Try Pinterest, for example, which acts as a great source of traffic to tourism-oriented websites. Check out our blog post on using Pinterest in affiliate marketing.

5. Prepare new articles or update last years’ ones, focusing mainly on the upcoming winter holidays. If you’ve already got some great articles that bring in traffic, it would be a good idea to brush them up. Perhaps you have articles that just require a little more work on them to start bringing in traffic. And if you don’t yet have any suitable articles, write up a couple new ones – just don’t forget to keep point 4 in mind and think about how you’re going to get them to generate traffic.

6. Get inspired by the stories of our successful partners and perhaps even borrow some of their advice to further develop your own project!
