Affiliate Marketing

The affiliate marketing software that a company uses is critical to a program’s success. Affiliate tracking software must register users, generate links, track user/link activity, attribute conversions, produce reports, and integrate with payment solutions such as PayPal. Other features merchants may desire are multichannel analytics, messaging, email marketing, deep linking, fraud detection, and integration with marketing and business tools. Finally, the software should be reliable, efficient, and foster trust between merchants (advertisers) and affiliates (publishers).

COVID-19 and a global pandemic have upended the travel industry. Travel bloggers and YouTubers have been hit hard as a result. It will be a while before travel and tourism return to normal and prosperity. However, we must continue to monitor opportunities and merchants that have high earnings potential. Skyscanner is one such company that interests many affiliate marketers.

Skyscanner is a travel search engine and comparison site. It scans the internet and pulls prices for flights, hotels, and car rentals from thousands of online travel agencies and airlines worldwide. Skyscanner wants to show the best deals and cost savings. The Trip.com Group–a large online travel agency in China–owns Skyscanner.

When I think about ecommerce, Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Best Buy, Alibaba, and Walmart come to mind. Before this post, I was unfamiliar with Wish, except for its appearance on Lakers’ uniforms. However, it’s a major mobile shopping force.

Wish is a global ecommerce platform that connects hundreds of millions of merchants and consumers worldwide. It empowers small-business owners and entrepreneurs by giving them access to millions of new consumers. Thanks to Wish, people from every continent, socio-economic status, and walk of life can connect through e-commerce.
