Hey there, travelpreneur!
I’ve got limited time today and a ton of opportunities to share with you (Press Trips galore) so I’m going to jump right in with the content and give you an easy list to follow if you’re searching for lucrative travel affiliate programs to promote…
Stalk Your Competitors
Your colleagues and competitors are also good resources when it comes to finding profitable affiliate promotions:
Join your colleagues’ mailing lists. See what products they promote most often.
Visit their resources pages. What tools and training do they recommend?
Buy their products. What resources are they sharing in private groups and member areas?
Join Marketplaces
Marketplaces offer a big list of affiliate possibilities plus you can sort and filter hundreds of offers to find just the right fit, but since it's a single platform, you won't have multiple logins to manage.
Travelpayouts - This affiliate marketplace is dedicated to travel affiliates so is a natural place for any travel blogger. The commission rates are the same or better than I was getting and they have just about everyone I use (plus, some I would like to).
Amazon.com
ShareASale.com
JVZoo.com
WarriorPlus.com
Clickbank.com
(NOTE: On most digital marketplaces, you will need approval before you can promote an offer. When applying, be transparent about your audience, who else you may have worked with in the past, what the results were, and how you intend to promote the product.)
Google it!
Try searching for your niche/keyword + "affiliate program" or "referral program," like this: "travel affiliate program" or "solo travel referral program."
