Yo fam, here’s how I almost lost a kidney in the travel vertical — but made it out and realized this niche is pure ROI gold.
Travel isn’t just about tickets — it’s a ticket to real profit.
So, I decided to take a break… from burning cash in nutra and gambling. Jumped into travel thinking, “Why not catch some green waves selling flights and tours?” Like, “Bro, wanna hit Dubai on a deal? Here’s the pre-lander, let’s go!”
The reality of travel:
- People book all year round. Vacationers, business travelers, last-minute wanderers — they’re all your targets.
- Seasonality exists, but demand is stable. Summer, New Year, May holidays — that’s peak time. The rest of the year is steady profit.
- GEO? Global, baby. Just tailor your creatives and headlines to the audience.
But this ain’t gambling where one deposit = instant profit.
In travel, users think, compare, read reviews. You gotta not just attract — you have to convince them that your villa in Bali is the best deal.
Creatives that hit hard:
- Plane window views — hypnotic. Trust me.
- Clickbait headlines: “Paris from $49,” “Thailand 70% Off” — they pull.
- UGC style: “Tourist-style” pics with captions like “Found a hotel for $25 on SuTochno.ru” — gold. Converts well.
Where to get offers?
- Travelpayouts – flights, hotels, car rentals, all in one.
- GetYourGuide – local experiences in Paris, Rome, Bangkok.
- Booking, Aviasales, Klook – clean, white-label traffic, pure quality.
You can work on CPA or RevShare — depends on your user base. Sometimes a cut is way more profitable than a flat rate.
The Challenges:
- Creatives need taste — memes don’t work here. You need vibes.
- Seasonality + GEO matters: pushing Thailand in July? Nah, that’s monsoon season. Best time is November onward.
- Competition is real — tour operators don’t play around.
What’s the $ like?
- CPA: $5 to $50 per booking.
- RevShare: 3–10%. Someone books a $2000 biz class ticket? Hello profit.
- Beginners with $300? Can make $100–200+ if they don’t mess around.
- Experienced buyers? $1K+ and up — sky’s the limit.
FINAL VERDICT:
Travel isn’t the easiest vertical — but it’s whitehat, stable, and has long-term potential.
Put in the work — you’ll earn. Slack off — you’ll crash.
And remember: your creative isn’t just a banner — it’s an invitation into someone’s dream.
