It is projected that there will be a 40% growth in revenue per customer compared with 2019.<\/li><li>With the Tours &amp; Activities category, you can promote a wide range of brands and products. On the Travelpayouts platform, you can join <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/brands-directory\/tours_and_activities\">15 brands<\/a> that are dedicated to Tours &amp; Activities.<\/li><li>Tours &amp; Activities fit into many types of content, even those that are not about travel. For example, even someone with a personal finance blog could help their audience cut down on travel expenses by listing the benefits of using a city pass and sharing a link to a relevant offer. In addition, content creators in the food niche can earn money by recommending culinary classes.<\/li><li>Tours &amp; Activities are in-demand during any season. So, you can earn with this category all year round.<\/li><li>The Tours &amp; Activities category provides partners with a high earning potential of up to $9,000 a month.

It is the first and most important thing that you can do to drive sales. Based on this data alone, you can create content and make other decisions about marketing and affiliate strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify Your Audience\u2019s Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to boost your content performance and make readers click on partner links and widgets is helping them to deal with their problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clive Muir, Blogger and Creator of <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caminodelrey.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Caminodelrey.es<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI use search engines to identify users&#8217; problems. For example, I think about promoting tickets to Camino del Rey. I enter into the search engines something like: \u2018How do I get tickets to Camino del Rey\u2019, \u2018Tickets to Camino del Rey 2022\u2019, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the official Camino del Rey website, there are always sold-out tickets for the nearest dates. So, I understand that users are dealing with a problem of how to get tickets when there are none.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is critically important for travel bloggers to get personal experience in the things they are talking about. This is because the most useful tips and content come from bloggers who live in the area or have actually done the things they are writing about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clive Muir, Blogger and Creator of <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caminodelrey.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Caminodelrey.es<\/strong><\/a>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI live in the Camino del Rey area, and I did my own research about the availability of tickets. There are 1,100 tickets available every day to enter Camino del Rey, and only 600 of these tickets may be sold online on the official website. So, what about the other 500 tickets? I went to the hotel close to Camino del Rey and asked: \u2018If I stay here, can I get a ticket to Camino del Rey?\u2019 And they said, \u2018Yes!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I wrote the article with the best performance on my website, entitled \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caminodelrey.es\/no-tickets-for-the-caminito-left-online-no-problem-hopefully\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">No tickets for the Caminito left online? No problem<\/a>.\u2019 I included several options for getting tickets, including staying in hotels near Caminito, buying a tour on GetYourGuide. Hotels offer affiliate programs too, so I can earn by recommending those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All I\u2019ve done is offer solutions for people, make them happier, and give them what they need\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Brands that Suit Your Audience&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that the brand\u2019s geography, coverage, and products are relevant to your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Megan Starr, Owner of Several Blogs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m dealing with two different audiences. The majority of them are American, especially on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/best-niches-for-affiliate-marketing\/\">niche websites<\/a>, where the audience is around 95% American. Since Americans are familiar with Viator, I work with Viator on those sites. When I\u2019m dealing with Europe, even if I\u2019m dealing with Americans, they tend to go with what I recommend more than they would in the US. Here, I have a great relationship with GetYourGuide. I am extremely comfortable recommending GetYourGuide, especially since, when I travel myself, I only use GetYourGuide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try to Use Affiliate Widgets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A majority of travel bloggers use affiliate links. This is largely due to the opinion that links provide the best conversion rate from users to click-outs. However, this is not always true. In addition, widgets offer some non-obvious advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clive Muir, Blogger and Creator of <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caminodelrey.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Caminodelrey.es<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI exclusively use widgets, especially the GetYourGuide widgets. I use the Activity widget from GetYourGuide and it works really well. It\u2019s what makes all the money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f2fbe44cba0&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16673\" width=\"840\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-1.png 977w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-1-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-1-768x319.png 768w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-1-416x173.png 416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption>GetYourGuide Activity widget<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The other day, I was reading how Google is now putting more weight on <a href=\"https:\/\/blinkux.com\/ideas\/treat-your-website-like-a-product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">webpage promoting as a product<\/a>. If you don\u2019t give your customers one or two options for prices or different places to buy a product, Google is putting less weight on your website. As a result, your site will rank lower in the search engines, which means you\u2019re going to make less sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Widgets offer what Google wants, since they give people the opportunity to buy the same product at different prices and places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chapter_3\">Presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download the presentation&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1jaooBy8khwkLX7yG11G9aNKelZyUdlui\/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1jaooBy8khwkLX7yG11G9aNKelZyUdlui\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allow=\"autoplay\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We highly recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fYGWRCMlOwU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watching the video<\/a> from the webinar.
