Travel & lifestyle affiliate programs for Instagram creators

Turn your Instagram travel content into income — Afflio gives you tracked links and codes, and pays you automatically.

How a Instagram creator earns from travel & lifestyle affiliate programs: impressions times click-through rate gives clicks, clicks times conversion rate gives sales, sales times average order value gives referred revenue, and that times the commission rate gives gross commission. Travel & lifestyle programs commonly pay 4–12% on bookings; gear programs pay 8–20%. Every figure in the diagram is a worked illustration rather than a measured result.
Earnings per click folds the rate, the order value and the conversion rate into one number, which is what makes two travel programs comparable from a Instagram audience.

How Instagram creators earn in travel

On Instagram, you place your links via link in bio, Stories link stickers, and promo codes in captions. Afflio tracks the bio/link-sticker click and matches promo-code use at checkout, so Stories and posts both get credited. Booking links buried in captions with no attribution back to the post that inspired the trip. Afflio fixes that — one marketplace of travel & lifestyle brands, tracked links and codes for each, and automatic payouts to PayPal or bank.
