How the Affiliate Program Works
Using the Affiliate Program is very easy. We’ve designed it so you invest minimal effort but receive maximum earnings. Here is a quick overview of how it works:
- You promote your affiliate link to your audience.
- Every purchase made within 30 days after clicking on one of your links will be attributed to you.
- You earn a percentage commission on every sale. For example, if you have a commission rate of 8% and the average purchase is $150, you’d earn $12 in commission from just one purchase!
- Now imagine how many people see and click your posts—this adds up quickly. Just 10 purchases would earn you an easy $120.
- Every month, we add up your completed bookings and pay out your commission. You can choose between a bank transfer and PayPal.
How to Create an Affiliate Link
The first step in the process is to create the affiliate link you’d like to share with your audience and earn commissions from. Here’s what you need to do:
- Choose the page you want to link to on GetYourGuide.
- Copy the URL of the GetYourGuide page from your browser’s address bar.
- Go to the affiliate link builder in the Partner Portal.
- Paste the URL into the link builder.
- Click “Create short URL” and copy your “gyg.me/...” affiliate link.
Tip: You can link to any page on GetYourGuide. The choice is yours - you get a commission on any sale, no matter where you originally linked to. Read more on the topic in: How does the cookie ID tracking work?
How to promote your affiliate links
Now that you know how to create affiliate links, it's time to focus on promoting and sharing them with your audience. Start by considering the platforms you use:
- How do you engage with your community?
- What topics resonate most with them?
Remember, it's about adding value, not just selling a product. Share helpful tips, insights, or recommendations that align with their interests.
Here are a few ideas for where you can place your affiliate links:
- Instagram Link in Bio
- Instagram post, reel, or story description
- Instagram DM - ask your audience to reach out for travel tips via DM and share an affiliate link for GetYourGuide
Where to link on GetYourGuide
GetYourGuide offers a variety of pages you can link to, allowing you to choose what best fits your content and audience. To get started, we suggest linking to the following:
-
Experience Page
When you share a Sponsored Experience Reel, it's highly effective to include an affiliate link so your audience can directly book the experience you've highlighted. You can add the link in your Stories, Bio, or invite your audience to DM you for the link.
Regardless of where your link directs your audience, if someone makes a purchase within 30 days, you will earn full commission on their entire order!
