Tips from #TMAffiliates Twitter Chat with affilinet

How do the top travel bloggers achieve successful results with affiliate marketing? Good question. That’s we asked the Travel Massive community on a recent Twitter chat hosted with affiliate marketing gurus affilinet.

The #TMAffiliates Twitter chat was hosted by affilinet and asked the Travel Massive community 10 relevant questions about generating revenue, learning affiliate marketing and how to get the best results working online. We had some great responses and insights so we thought we’d share them.
