What Does Travelpayouts Make Money From?
To understand our financial model, let’s first explore how Travelpayouts works. Essentially, we act as a bridge connecting travelpreneurs with various travel brands.
Here’s how it happens:
- A partner registers on the Travelpayouts partnership platform.
- They connect with any of our 60+ travel brands.
- They promote these brands on their websites.
- Readers visit the brands’ websites via affiliate links on the partner’s site.
- Readers purchase travel services.
- The partner earns rewards on sales made through their affiliate links.
As the ultimate intermediary, Travelpayouts facilitates faster and more lucrative earnings for partners, ensures they always receive their rewards, helps brands attract quality traffic, and prevents fraudulent bookings.
And Now for the Million-Dollar Question: Who Pays for Travelpayouts’ Services?
The answer is simple — the brands themselves. They compensate us for our valuable assistance, recognizing us as an effective and substantial channel for traffic and sales. This means the partner programs on the Travelpayouts platform reward partners just as generously as if they had joined them directly. We never skim off any commission from partners, ensuring they get their fair share.
“But I’ve Compared the Commissions, and Direct Affiliates Still Offer Higher Rewards!”
We can confidently say that, in most cases, our rewards match those of direct brand affiliate programs or other affiliate networks. In fact, sometimes Travelpayouts rewards are even higher.
The perceived difference in rewards may be due to how they’re presented. A direct affiliate program might calculate the rate as a revenue share, while we express the reward as a percentage of the booking value.
Take Booking.com for example. Their direct affiliate program pays a 25% revenue share, while we pay 4% of the booking value. However, the partner’s reward remains the same! Moreover, expressing the reward as a percentage of the booking price simplifies it for the partner, making it easier to understand their earnings.
Admittedly, there are a few brands where we offer slightly lower rewards than a direct affiliate program. However, the benefits we offer more than make up for the 1-2% difference, ultimately helping you earn even more, and we’re also constantly working to close that gap.
Let’s explore how we help travel bloggers earn more with minimal effort.
