Thank you to TBEX sponsors and guest contributors, Travelpayouts; we will see you in Puerto Rico!

We’re pleased to introduce you to the one and only Emerald Sponsor of TBEX North America 2024 in San Juan, Puerto Rico – the Travelpayouts partnership platform, which helps travel bloggers monetize their content by recommending trusted travel brands to their audiences. In this article, they’ll talk about the platform and its advantages over direct affiliate programs.

👋Hello, it’s Travelpayouts here. Let’s get real. In the competitive world of travel blogging, finding the right affiliate program can make or break your success. In this article, we want to highlight why Travelpayouts stands head and shoulders above direct affiliate programs.

We’ll explain how we’ve carved out a niche in the travel blogging industry, offering many benefits that are simply too good to pass up. Ready? Let’s get to it.

1. 100+ Travel Brands Under One Roof

First, let’s talk about the extensive network of travel partner programs that we bring to the table. We’re talking big names like Booking.com, Tripadvisor, GetYourGuide, and others. These aren’t just any brands; they are the heavyweights of the travel industry. When you partner with Travelpayouts, you gain access to these giants, giving you a significant edge.

But we don’t only focus on the big names. We have a catalog of over 100+ travel brands, so you can choose the right programs for you and your blog. 

But how does this benefit you as a travel blogger? Simple. It means you have more reputable travel brands to promote, increasing your chances of conversions.

2. Everything You Need In One Place

The Travelpayouts dashboard is a game-changer compared to direct affiliate programs. It’s intuitive, easy to navigate, and packed with time-saving tools.

Our Reports section offers comprehensive data in a single, user-friendly dashboard. Easy-to-understand reports help you track your performance and optimize your campaigns.

TP Performance

You can view these insights within your account or export them as a CSV file for detailed analysis. This lets you quickly pinpoint which brands generate the most profit or dive into individual statistics for each brand.

3. One Automated Payment. Once a Month. For All Partner Programs

One of the standout features of Travelpayouts is a consolidated payout system. Instead of juggling multiple payments from different programs, you get one single payout for everything. This simplifies your financial management and lets you focus on what you do best: blogging.

4. Unique Tools That Help You Earn More Easily

To earn more money, we’ve also developed several tools that can help you check off your tasks more easily and precisely. Tools such as:

Chrome Extension

Creating affiliate links for multiple brands, such as GetYourGuide, Viator, and Booking.com, no longer requires logging into several sites. With Travelpayouts, simply log in once or use our Google Chrome extension to generate affiliate links to specific brand pages in seconds.

LinkSwitcher

LinkSwitcher is like a magic button that seamlessly converts your blog’s existing links into partner links. This JavaScript code identifies and assigns your unique Travelpayouts ID to each link, ensuring you get credit for any travel sales generated through your blog.

It’s user-friendly, requires no coding expertise, and can be installed directly from your Travelpayouts account.

Delegated Access

Travelpayouts offers Delegated Access, allowing you to grant specific team members limited access to your account for certain tasks. Each person can access only designated areas based on their role, letting them carry out tasks without needing your password or access to your private information.

5. Access To Valuable Advice & Industry Expertise

Knowledge is power, and we know this better than anyone. At Travelpayouts, we leverage our extensive expertise in travel affiliate marketing to continually enhance our platform, making it user-friendly and practical for travel bloggers.

6. Dedicated Support Team

Last but not least, let’s talk about our support team. It’s no secret that some direct programs are harder to reach when something goes wrong. And the last thing you want to worry about is whether you’ll get paid at the end of the month.

Our Travelpayouts support team goes above and beyond typical template emails, providing exceptional assistance. We promptly investigate and resolve any concerns, ensuring a pleasant and helpful interaction every time.
