How travel creators make money with affiliate marketing
Booking links buried in captions with no attribution back to the post that inspired the trip. Afflio fixes that: join travel & lifestyle brand programs from one marketplace, get a tracked link and promo code for each, and every sale you drive is attributed and paid automatically. You promote on Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest the way you already do — Afflio handles the tracking and the payout.
