Instagram is a fantastic platform for affiliate marketing. Here’s how to make the most of it:

  • Pin posts with affiliate links: Keep them at the top of your feed for maximum visibility.
  • Pin stories as highlights: Create a dedicated GetYourGuide highlight so your audience can access affiliate links anytime.
  • Use Linktree or similar tools: Organize your affiliate links in a clear, structured way. Add value by including "How-to Guides" to help your audience plan their trips.

Expand beyond Instagram to reach your audience wherever they are:

  • Travel blog or website: Blog posts are highly effective for conversions. Write about your top-performing destinations and link these posts across your social media.
  • YouTube: Create long-form travel videos or experiment with YouTube Shorts to showcase your experiences.
  • TikTok: Use TikTok’s discovery-driven algorithm to reach a broader audience with creative, short-form content.
  • Other platforms: Think Pinterest, email lists, newsletters, or even e-books—anywhere you can place a link!

Not everyone knows what GetYourGuide is or why they should use it. Help your audience understand:

  • Share why you trust and love the brand.
  • Highlight your favorite moments from an experience and how it solves common travel problems.
  • Answer questions like:
    • What are the highlights of this experience?
    • Why should my audience book online with GetYourGuide?
