AI Summary

This video presents a complete beginner-friendly affiliate marketing strategy for 2026, combining high-intent audience research with free AI tools to build an automated income stream. The host demonstrates how to identify audiences ready to buy, create a professional affiliate website, and generate targeted campaigns using Google Pomelli and Horizon's AI.

[00:01]
Affiliate Marketing Setup

Start by signing up to an affiliate program like Skyscanner through Impact.com, which lists nearly 8,000 affiliate programs. Once approved, you earn commissions every time someone books a flight through your affiliate link.

[01:48]
Validate Demand First

Before promoting, use Realize's audience targeting feature to check whether there's a large audience with high purchasing intent. Look for marketplace audiences like 'travel intent destinations: North America' to ensure people are likely to click and buy.

[04:03]
High-Ticket Audience Discovery

Identify audiences with strong purchasing intent, such as 'travelers intending to book first-class tickets.' Because first-class fares are much higher, you can earn significantly larger affiliate commissions even if the conversion rate stays the same.

[05:46]
AI-Powered Campaign Creation

Google Pomelli (currently free) can generate highly engaging campaign assets, including images and text, in seconds. This lets you create ads and Pinterest pins that specifically target high-intent audiences.

[06:29]
Keyword Research with Pinterest Autocomplete

Use Pinterest's search autocomplete to spot trending destinations and buyer phrases. For example, 'Hawaii flights' shows many users searching for 'cheap flights to Hawaii,' revealing strong purchasing intent for budget travel.

[07:53]
Build a Site with Horizons AI

Horizons AI generates a professional travel website in seconds after a simple prompt. The site comes pre-structured with sections for flights, hotels, and car rentals, ready for affiliate content.

[09:38]
Generate Affiliate Articles

Using Horizons' chatbot, you can create buyer-focused articles like 'The Ultimate UK to USA Travel Guide.' These articles naturally insert your Skyscanner affiliate link in prominent call-to-action sections.

[15:43]
Publish and Get a Custom Domain

Publish the site and register a custom domain (often only $0.01 for the first year). A proper web address adds credibility and boosts conversion rates.

[16:51]
Google Pomelli Business DNA

Pomelli scrapes your website to understand its color scheme and images, then uses this 'business DNA' to generate consistent, high-converting social media campaigns automatically.

[26:02]
Add Multiple CTAs and Deep Links

Instead of one CTA, add separate affiliate links for flights, hotels, and car rentals. Create deep links in Impact to land users directly on the relevant Skyscanner page (e.g., the hotel tab), reducing friction and increasing conversions.

[30:51]
Download Campaign Assets

Using Pomelli's 'download business data' feature, you can export all generated campaign creatives (ads, Pinterest pins, and stories) for use across traffic platforms.

[31:31]
Launch Native Ads on Realize

Set up a native ad campaign in Realize with the objective 'online purchase.' Target a specific high-intent audience, such as UK users searching for first-class flights to the US, to maximize affiliate commissions.

[35:06]
Pinterest Free Traffic

Upload AI-generated Pinterest pins, add target keywords like 'cheap flights to Hawaii,' and link them to your affiliate articles. This is a completely free, scalable way to drive high-intent traffic.

Affiliate marketing in 2026 can be launched quickly by combining high-purchase-intent audience research with AI-generated content and campaigns. The key is to align every asset with a specific buyer-intent audience to maximize conversions.

[00:01] some really high affiliate marketing commissions by getting an affiliate link for a well-known brand just like Skyscanner and driving buyer traffic to that link by creating highly engaging campaign assets just like this, which we

[00:16] can now suddenly do using Google's new completely free AI marketing tool called Google Pomelli. This highly detailed video is for anybody looking to realistically implement a long-term and sustainable working affiliate marketing

[00:31] strategy updated with 2026 methods. Step one is to get signed up to an affiliate program so that we can get an affiliate link to start earning affiliate marketing commissions with. Now, if I get signed up to the Skyscanner

[00:44] affiliate program, for example, as you can see, I can start earning some really high affiliate commissions. Every time somebody clicks onto my affiliate link and gets taken over to the Skyscanner flight booking platform and makes a

[00:56] flight booking, just like this one right here, we will earn an affiliate marketing commission. Now, to get access to a huge selection of different brands, each of which have affiliate programs that you can get signed up to, you can

[01:09] go over to impact.com. I'll leave a link to Impact in the video description. And once you are signed up to Impact, if you go to where it says discover, find Brands, and then all brands, you'll see there are almost 8,000 rows of different

[01:22] affiliate programs that you can get signed up to. And I've also put together a free guide with 10 affiliate offers that you can start promoting right away. No audience needed. They work perfectly for this exact strategy, and I'll leave

[01:34] description. So before we start promoting our affiliate link by utilizing Google's new incredible AI tool PLI, you want to first make sure that you do have a realistic chance of actually earning affiliate marketing

[01:48] commissions via your affiliate link. So in this example, we want to see whether there is a large enough audience who are likely to not only click onto our affiliate link for Skyscanner, but who are also likely to want to actually make

[02:02] that booking look, let's say from London to somewhere within the United States, for example. We know when that booking is made, that's when we earn an affiliate marketing commission. Now, by far the best way to not only identify a

[02:15] large audience with high purchasing intent, but also place the affiliate link for the offer that you want to promote directly in front of that high purchasing intent audience is by utilizing a feature in the realize

[02:29] realize in the video description, and I'll show you exactly how to utilize this feature in only the next few steps. It's called audience targeting. Now we want to see again whether there is a high purchase intent audience that is an

[02:45] audience who are likely to not only click onto our affiliate link but also make a purchase or in this case a flight booking. Now, in order to first identify that audience, underneath where it says marketplace audiences, I'm simply going

[02:57] marketplace audiences, I'm simply going to type in the word intent. And here you will find a huge selection of different audiences that are searching online right now with strong purchasing intent. Look, if I hover over this over here,

[03:11] for example, underneath where it says autos and vehicles, as you can see, it says this is an audience that we've identified. These are users who are showing a strong interest in purchasing

[03:24] a luxury car, right? That's all good, but let's see if we can find an audience who are showing a strong interest in wanting to book a flight from London to the US, for example. We're then able to place our affiliate link directly in

[03:38] front of that high purchase intent audience to start driving those affiliate commissions. So, what I'm going to do again, I'll type in the word intent underneath where it says marketplace audiences. And I'll simply

[03:50] browse through all of these different audiences that we can see who are searching with strong purchasing intent. Now, the first high purchase intent audience that I found is absolute gold. And just wait until you see the next

[04:03] one. The first one is users who have demonstrated intention to buy for flights, hotels or car rentals for travel specifically for North America. That means I can very easily generate an affiliate link for this page right here

[04:20] targeting those who are traveling from London in the UK for example for flights to North America. But not only flights, as you can see at the top here, also to book hotels and car rentals as well. we can generate affiliate links for all

[04:34] three of those pages and place those affiliate links directly in front of that high purchasing intent audience. Now, this next audience that I've discovered takes us into that high ticket affiliate marketing territory.

[04:47] These are travelers who are intending to travel with firstass tickets. That means we have the potential to earn even more in affiliate marketing commissions. That's because by placing an affiliate link for Skyscanner directly in front of

[05:02] that high purchase intent audience who now want to travel by first class rather than economy. Let's say it's two traveling at the same time. If I hit search, as you'd expect for first class travelers, much larger flight fairs,

[05:18] same affiliate marketing commission rate. The outcome being typically much higher absolute affiliate marketing commissions that we can generate if we do get that particular audience to convert. So that particular audience

[05:32] that we identified on realize is absolute gold. It moves us into high And if you're getting value from this video so far, guys, please do smash that like button. I really would appreciate it cuz what I'm now going to show you is

[05:46] how we can leverage Google Pamelly AI to drive a ton of high purchase intent traffic to our affiliate links by rapidly creating campaign material. Just like this, for example, to place directly in front of those specifically

[06:00] directly in front of those specifically searching with buyer intent to purchase first class flight tickets from the US. or this to place directly in front of those not only searching for flights to the US but also for hotel bookings or

[06:14] car rental services and even this which is a Pinterest pin which we can place directly in front of those again searching with high purchase intent specifically looking to book cheap or budget flights to Hawaii. You see, by

[06:29] identify even more buyer traffic by filtering down by the niche for the affiliate offer that you are promoting. In our case, it is travel to align with Sky Scanner to identify the most searched for trending travel

[06:44] destinations at the time. Now, in this case, we can see Hawaii is massively trending upwards with a weekly increase of over 10% in searches with a monthly change of over 40%. And by finishing off my sort of research phase for buyer

[07:00] intent over on Pinterest, you want to go over to the Pinterest search autocomplete feature. I've typed in Hawaii flights. And we can see a recurring pattern. People searching for cheap Hawaii flights, cheapest flights

[07:12] flights to Hawaii. So, let's look at how we can now successfully set this up with the objective being to earn as many of possible. And since we know that they are searching with the intention of

[07:25] actually buying a flight ticket, a hotel accommodation booking or a car rental service, typically the only missing piece would be that they need that recommendations. And by providing

[07:38] recommendations, you're significantly more likely to get that audience to actually act on those recommendations, by clicking onto the affiliate links contained within that content for Skyscanner, making those purchases,

[07:53] earning us those affiliate marketing conversions. Now, by far the easiest and best way to create high converting affiliate content is by utilizing an spoken about before on this channel,

[08:06] I'll leave a link in the video description. Once you click onto that link and you do get signed up to Horizons, you will be taken to a page like this where you can very easily create a site that you can place your

[08:19] affiliate content onto. I can simply say something like create a travel website that helps people plan trips. It shares simple advice on flights, hotels, and travel options. These options range from budget to luxury and cover destinations

[08:33] all around the world. And with one click, I'll go to enter right here. You'll then be taken to a page like this. Now, on the left hand side, the Hosting Horizon's AI chatbot may ask you a few simple questions before finalizing

[08:46] your site creation. Here it said, "Before I start building, I have a couple of quick questions. What's your main color scheme? For example, blues and greens for travel vibe." And the second question is, "Do you want users

[08:58] to be able to save their favorite trips or destinations?" Look, I'm just going to say to answer one, sure, blue and green for travel vibes. Number two, no. And number three, I've said just make sure the site is simple, containing only

[09:11] articles that provide travel recommendations for flights, hotels, and You'll then get an incredible, really professional looking site created for you in literally only a few seconds. And

[09:24] as you can see at the top here, it's got different sections for flights, hotels, car rentals, and each one of those different sections will link to a different type of affiliate content. Now, here you can see here is how the

[09:38] affiliate content will look on the site itself. Now, these are just placeholder affiliate articles. As you can see, guys, we can delete these. But on the says, "Would you like me to add anything else like more articles, different

[09:52] sections, or any other features?" And since we have identified audiences that are specifically intending to buy flights, hotels, and or car rentals for travel, specifically for North America in this example, and audiences who

[10:08] display strong purchasing intent when it comes to making a first class flight people are searching for how to get Pinterest, which is essentially an

[10:20] online shopping platform these days, I will answer the Horizon's AI chatbot by saying absolutely yes. Please create the following article to start with. Create a buyer focused travel article for people ready to book a trip to the US

[10:35] from the UK for example mentioning real airlines, hotel brands and car rental platforms. The idea is to provide as much value as possible. Ensure the much value as possible. Ensure the article caters to all budgets. Again,

[10:49] maximizing those conversions by catering to the largest customer pool possible and presents different options and naturally references Skyscanner. Once as a commonly used tool, travelers check before booking flights without sounding

[11:05] too promotional. I've even said include highly engaging images and insert this link right here, which is our Skyscanner affiliate link as the affiliate link for Sky Scanner. And with one click, I'll go to where it says enter. And it will

[11:20] create that article for me in literally a matter of seconds. Let's take a look at that article. If I scroll down, it's right at the front here. The ultimate UK to USA travel guide. Looks good so far. If I click onto where it says read for

[11:34] guide, as we can see, it is quite short, but I think that actually might be a good thing. So, let's take a look at it. So, first up, it tells us taking flight crossing the Atlantic. It gives us some different airline carrier

[11:47] recommendations like British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. And it also goes on to say sort of for budget conscious travelers. Here are some other airlines as well, including airlines like Ryionaire. And what I love is straight

[12:01] away it inserts our affiliate link for Sky Scanner in this really sort of visible call to action section which says pro tip compare with Skyscanner before committing to in booking. We highly recommend checking Skyscanner.

[12:15] That is our affiliate link. They've said it's an invaluable tool for comparing prices across all airlines and so on. If I scroll down, guys, a very short and concise yet comprehensive section on where to stay from budget to luxury. A

[12:30] clean sort of table budget mid-range, your sort of holiday ins to luxury, your Ritz Carltons and Four Seasons hotels as well. And it's also given some car rental recommendations at the end, which I love, guys, because we know the

[12:45] majority of those who click onto this article are most likely to actually book a flight, right? and then sort of accommodation and then car rentals which is usually back of mind right third in line. This section of the article says

[12:59] the US is a driving nation and renting a car is often essential. It's recommended a ton of really wellrecoognized car rental companies there as well. And I love that at the end they've also got another call to action to check flights

[13:15] another call to action to check flights on Sky Scanner. So, I'm actually really happy with this article. It's a lot shorter than I thought it would be. Um, but I think that actually works in our advantage. The call to actions for

[13:28] Skyscanner, I think, are far more visible as well. Now, of course, if you did want to change anything in this travel guide, I actually don't really like the image. The headline image. I think it's a little bit too plain. So

[13:40] again on the left hand side in this sort of AI chatbot for horizons I'll simply say in the ultimate UK to USA travel guide which is the title of this article change the first image to something that I don't know better emulates somebody

[13:55] taking a flight from the UK to the USA. I'll hit enter. It's given us this image definitely better. Uh you can ask it for another if you like guys, but look this article is absolutely fine and absolutely perfect for driving those

[14:09] affiliate conversions. Now of course what you want to do is to add more articles onto your site containing those affiliate links. So again I'm going to say create two more articles that provide similar value. One article will

[14:23] be for those looking to book cheap flights from the USA to Hawaii and the other targeting that other high ticket affiliate marketing segment will be for those looking to book firstass tickets to the USA from London for example.

[14:37] Again, insert the Skyscanner affiliate link in those articles. And here is my Skyscanner affiliate link which I've simply pasted in in one click. I'll go create both of those articles for me

[14:50] again in literally a matter of seconds. As expected, those two articles have Budget guide to booking cheap flights from the US to Hawaii. If I click onto where it says read full guide, it talks

[15:02] about timing, choosing the best budget airline carrier with budget hacks, smart booking tools, and of course an affiliate link to Sky Scanner. And of affiliate link to Sky Scanner. And of course for promoting those first class

[15:15] flight booking tickets to those who are specifically looking to buy first class tickets. We have this incredible article right here which compares the different heavy hitters or the different first class experiences across different

[15:28] airline carriers. It talks about the ground experience. It even gives a booking tip on how you can fly luxury for less with a strong call to action for our Skyscanner affiliate link right at the bottom. Now, of course, what you

[15:43] to where it says publish on the top right is you want to make sure that you right is you want to make sure that you identify as many high purchase intent audiences as possible, which you're going to see exactly how you can do in

[15:56] just the next few steps. And by creating high converting campaign material that we can place directly in front of the exact type of audience likely to be searching with purchasing intent for each one of those affiliate articles

[16:11] that you can create. We can drive a ton of high converting affiliate traffic to each one of those articles. So once you've done that, you simply want to top right here. I then recommend clicking on to where it says get domain

[16:25] to give your site a proper web address which increases the credibility of your site and in turn those conversions that you can generate. So let's see if travel booking strategies.com is available. Yes, it is. It's usually

[16:38] only around 1 cent for the first year. So I'll click onto that and go to where it says next. And with our domain registered and our site now published, we're now able to drive a ton of traffic to our affiliate content by creating

[16:52] campaign material just like this from our site by utilizing Google Pamelli. Now, I do strongly recommend utilizing Horizons for this particular strategy, guys. It's by far the easiest, most seamless way to set up the highest

[17:07] quality, most professional looking site. I'll leave a link to Horizon's in the video description with a discount code next to that link as well. But you also want to click onto the link for Google Pamelli because right now if you go over

[17:21] where it says let's get started. And I honestly can't believe that Google Pamelli is still completely free to use. Look what it can do guys. So what I'll do is I'll click onto where it says let's go over here by simply pasting in

[17:35] the site that we just created containing those high converting affiliate articles. Google PLI will analyze your business and generate your business DNA. Let me show you exactly what that means in practice. I'll simply click onto

[17:49] where it says continue and it will say that we are researching and analyzing your business. It will take several minutes which is true guys. It's well worth the wait with the quality of that campaign material that it does produce

[18:02] minutes. I'm going to pause the video and I'll see you in a second. So, once Pamelli is done analyzing your business DNA, what it does is it essentially scrapes your site to look for the exact

[18:16] sort of color coding that it's laid out in this palette over here. and it also scrapes your site to look at the different images contained in each one of your affiliate articles. Now, a really cool feature that you can also do

[18:29] before we do click onto where it says looks good, so that it can use your business DNA to generate social media campaigns, which is how we're going to be driving traffic to those affiliate articles to generate those affiliate

[18:42] conversions. Before we do that, we can also click onto where it says generate images right here. So we can generate images for campaign material that PLI can create for us. Look, let's say that for example, we want to generate an

[18:57] image for some campaign material that we can place directly in front of those specifically searching with the intention of booking a firstass ticket from London to the US. So we can maximize those affiliate conversions

[19:11] that we can generate with this article right here via our Skyscanner affiliate link. For example, what I can do is go back over to PLI and underneath where it says generate image, I can say something like a classy British gentleman flying

[19:25] like a classy British gentleman flying in first class holding a small UK flag in one hand and a small US flag in the other. And by clicking onto where it says enter over here, it will generate a few variants of that exact type of

[19:38] image. Look, I'm going to click onto this one right here and then click onto where it says add to business DNA. And with one click, I'm going to go to where it says looks good. So that PLI will use our business DNA to generate those

[19:51] social media campaigns. I'll click onto looks good over here. And rather than clicking onto one of the campaign suggestions at the bottom here based on our business DNA, I'm going to type something in over here such as create a

[20:03] single conversion focused travel campaign that roots users to the most relevant article covering flights, hotels, and car rentals across budget, mid-range, and luxury first class based on booking intent. With one click, I'll

[20:19] go to generate ideas and it will give you a few different ideas for your I'm going to click onto this one over here, which I think is the most fitting. Luxury or budget, find your trip, offering tailored recommendations for

[20:33] flights, hotels, and car rentals to simplify trip planning. If I click onto that, our campaign material will now be created. So, let's take a look at the us. And I'm then going to show you how we can leverage these campaign assets to

[20:48] drive a ton of high purchase intent traffic to our articles to our affiliate links to ultimately start driving those affiliate conversions. So, let's click onto this one over here for example. So before we talk about the traffic sources

[21:02] assets onto to start driving that affiliate traffic, let's first take a look at these campaign assets and I want to show you how you can very easily change or edit any of the features within them. So this says firstass

[21:16] luxury perfect with a call to action saying find your trip and of course the image is of that sort of uh classy looking gentleman. And this would specifically appeal and drive clicks from that high purchase intent audience

[21:31] who are specifically looking with the intention to buy first class flight intention to buy first class flight tickets from for example London to the US. Now you can very easily edit any of the text or call to action elements on

[21:45] this particular campaign asset. And to do that on the right hand side here you can see it says header. It says first class luxury which it's already prepopulated with. I could very easily edit that. I can also generate a

[21:57] description which I believe will appear sort of towards the top of this campaign material. And of course, we also have a call to action which does say find your trip increasing the amount of clicks that we can get onto this particular

[22:10] campaign asset. And of course with this particular campaign asset, we will be driving clicks to this particular article right here, providing more tips and information on firstass travel for those specifically looking to buy first

[22:25] class tickets from London to the US. And of course, the more clicks that we get onto this piece of affiliate content and the more clicks that we get onto our affiliate link and the more bookings that are made, the more in those

[22:37] affiliate marketing commissions that we can generate. However, with the traffic source that I want to show you how to leverage to drive those clicks for that specific high ticket audience, I'm going to click onto where it says back over

[22:49] here. And at the bottom, I'm going to click onto where it says add creative and where it says story, which sort of dictates the size of your campaign square. And I'm then going to click onto where it says image. And I'm going to

[23:04] select that same image. And I'm then going to click onto where it says apply. I'll then click onto where it says header description and I'll deselect them to purposely not show them including not showing the call to

[23:16] where it says generate and that will be created for us. This is perfect for the you exactly how to leverage to drive that high purchase intent audience to

[23:28] this particular piece of affiliate content to maximize the affiliate conversions that we can generate. Before we do that, something really cool that I want to show you that Google Pomelly can do, and this is specifically relevant

[23:41] for traffic sources like Instagram, for Instagram reels. If I hover over this, says animate, and if I click onto where it says play, the image should now be animated. So, let's take a look. There

[23:54] you go. Look at that. Absolutely incredible. And this is particularly relevant, like I said, guys, for Instagram, Instagram reels, which we're not going to be covering in today's video as a traffic source, but a really

[24:06] I would show you. So, that first to this particular piece of affiliate specifically looking to book first class flight tickets. So, let's look to see if

[24:19] it's created campaign assets for us as well that we can utilize to place directly in front of those searching with high purchasing intent in this case on Pinterest for cheap flights to Hawaii. So, if I go back over to Pamelli

[24:35] and I have a look, I can see it. So, it's already given us, which looks to be absolutely perfect. This is literally a pre-made Pinterest pin which I'm going to show you how we can upload over to Pinterest to place directly in front of

[24:48] that high converting audience. Let's take a look. It does say cheap flights to Hawaii. Perfect. Enjoy Hawaii on a budget with a strong call to action which does say find deals which will link directly to this piece of affiliate

[25:02] content right here. every single time they do book a flight to Hawaii via our affiliate link, we know we'll earn an affiliate marketing commission. And we know that Hawaii is a specific trending travel destination that people are

[25:15] searching for increasingly over on Pinterest. And by utilizing Pinterest's autocomplete search feature, we've been able to drill down even further to identify the segment of those searching for flights to Hawaii are overwhelmingly

[25:31] those searching for how to get cheap flights to Hawaii specifically allowing us to closely align the campaign material that Pamelly has created for us to place directly in front of that high purchase intent audience. Absolutely

[25:46] maximizing those conversions. All right, next up, let's see if Pamelly has created a piece of campaign material that we can place directly in front of those looking to travel from the UK to the US who are interested in buying not

[26:02] only flight tickets, but also hotel accommodation bookings and car rental bookings as well. Now, as a side note, guys, as you can see in this particular piece of affiliate content, it does cover all flights, accommodation, and

[26:18] car rentals as well. However, there is only one call to action at the end which says, "Check flights on Sky Scanner." Now, I do recommend adding three separate call to actions for affiliate content like this, for example. You're

[26:31] to say, guys. Obviously, underneath where it says, you know, taking flight, flights here. Underneath where it says accommodation, you want to say book your hotels here. And underneath where it says car rentals, you know, book your

[26:44] car rental here, for example. If I go back over to impact on the homepage actually and on the left hand side here, it will say create a link in this sort of widget. And if I click onto this dropown underneath where it says brand,

[26:56] I can select any one of the affiliate brands that I am promoting. In this underneath that, you'll see this text field for landing page. Now, let's say that I do want to create a specific call to action for people to, you know, book

[27:11] your hotel. Now, what I can do is to simply go over to Google, type in something like USA hotels sky scanner and simply hit enter. You should then see a page like this at the top saying compare cheap hotels in the US

[27:24] Skyscanner. Now, if you click onto that, it will then select this hotels tab as default over here, right? And that can help to increase the amount of those affiliate conversions that you generate. If you copy over the URL for that

[27:38] particular page, go back over to Impact, paste it into where it says landing page, then click onto where it says create, and below there is your affiliate link. Now they will access that exact page via your affiliate link.

[27:52] And the reason why that's so important is because when they click onto your this particular paragraph over here which you can very easily add in horizons which will say book your hotel now for example if they land on this

[28:06] page where the flights tab is selected you're sort of interrupting the user experience right it's much better to avoid any confusion to make that user experience or your conversion funnel more seamless ensuring that they land

[28:21] onto to hotels over here where it will say in nice big bold writing hotels in the US. Now, I don't normally go into this much detail, guys, but I want to help you to absolutely maximize those conversions. And I'm going to give you

[28:35] one more tip. It's super intricate, but it makes a huge difference. See over here where it recommends the specific hotels, for example, right underneath luxury, it says, you know, the Four Seasons or the Ritz Coloulton. What you

[28:48] can also do is link directly to your affiliate link over on Skyscanner. If I go over to Google again and if I type something in like Four Seasons Hotel USA book Skyscanner, I can click onto this link over here and it will then take me

[29:03] link over here and it will then take me to this page four seasons hotels where they can very easily search for that exact hotel type. Again, in a similar fashion, you can copy over that URL, go back over to Impact, and you can

[29:16] landing page right here. Create that as an affiliate link, which you can then again copy. And by going over to Horizons, you can very easily add your affiliate link over where it says Four Seasons by utilizing the Horizon's AI

[29:31] chatbot. So, before I show you how we can actually start driving that high purchase intent, affiliate traffic to our affiliate links via these affiliate content pieces, let's finally go back over to Pomelli to see if it's also

[29:44] created some campaign material that we can utilize to drive that affiliate traffic to this particular affiliate content over here. If I go back over to Pomelli, if I click on to where it says back over here, I think this looks like

[29:59] something that it's created for us over here. So look, traveling to the USA. Yeah, perfect. Your flights. Flight has got it's actually got a plane over there as well, which is awesome. Hotel, you got the hotel keys and car rental

[30:12] booking here. This is absolutely incredible. Now, in this particular example, again, what we would do, guys, is we would remove the header and the description for any of these square campaign assets. You'll see why in the

[30:26] next step. What you can also do is you can promote something like this over on Pinterest if you do identify an audience with strong purchasing intent. To do that guys, I can go over to where it says duplicate and I can duplicate it as

[30:39] a story which would be the same size as a Pinterest pin and then click on to generate next to where it says call to action and it will then add a call to action like plan your trip over here which you can of course edit as well.

[30:51] Right. So, let's look at how we can actually start driving high purchase intent traffic to our affiliate links. So, the first thing that you want to do is to download all of your campaign assets. And to do that, you can simply

[31:04] click onto these three dots over here and then go to where it says download business data. And I'll then click onto where it says generate downloads. Now, ignoring the top download option and just clicking onto these two over here,

[31:16] you'll then have access to all of these different campaign assets. So for the look at how we can leverage this campaign asset created for us in Pamelly to place directly in front of those searching with high purchasing intent

[31:31] for first class flight tickets from the UK to the US. The goal is to drive as many clicks onto that campaign asset so they're taken over to this piece of

[31:43] affiliate content that we created in Horizons containing our affiliate link which is where they can book those first class flight tickets from the UK to the US. What you can do as a first traffic source is to utilize a native ads

[31:58] platform like realize. Again, guys, I'll leave a link in the video description for Realize, and I'll also leave a link to a step-by-step tutorial showing you exactly how to launch a native ads campaign. And within that video, you'll

[32:12] campaign. And within that video, you'll see how you can also get $500 in free ad credits that you can use for launching your own native ads campaign. First, let me very briefly show you how this would work, right? So, I give my campaign a

[32:25] affiliate marketing. The brand name would match your site branding name as well. And where it says choose your main objective, you want to select the objective of your ad. Right now, our objective is absolutely to generate an

[32:41] online purchase. When an online purchase is made, that's when we generate those affiliate commissions. So, I'm going to scroll down and crucially underneath where it says campaign targeting, you want to specify the country that you

[32:54] want your audience who will see your ad to be located in. Right now, in this specific example, our goal is to maximize affiliate conversions or bookings for first class flight tickets by leveraging this particular campaign

[33:08] asset to place directly in front of those who are located in the UK looking to book first class flight tickets to the US. So, for this first step, underneath where it says location, I'll simply type in the United Kingdom. All

[33:23] right, that is perfect. And if I then click onto this field right here and type in first class, I can then click onto that high purchase intent audience specifically searching with the intention of booking a first class

[33:38] flight ticket. I then want to click onto where it says and to make sure that my where it says and to make sure that my audience also matches another criteria audience also matches another criteria as well. Now, if I type in travel

[33:50] intent and then scroll down, you want to click onto where it says travel intent destinations and then North America. And by following the subsequent steps, you can then very easily launch your own native ad just like this to place onto

[34:06] well-known websites displayed directly in front of those searching with high purchasing intent as identified by the realized platform. those specifically searching with the intention of booking a first class flight ticket, for

[34:21] example, from the UK to the US. And every time that high purchase intent audience clicks onto our ad and is taken over to our affiliate content piece as created in Horizons and clicks onto our affiliate link and makes a flight

[34:36] affiliate marketing commission. Again, I'll leave a link in the video description with a complete tutorial showing you step by step exactly how to launch your own realize native ads campaign. And in that tutorial, I also

[34:51] explain how you can get $500 in free ad credits towards launching your own native ads campaign. Now, that's just one traffic source. Another completely free traffic source that I like to use is Pinterest. And of course, we have

[35:06] identified in this example another high purchase intent audience by first looking at popular travel destinations such as Hawaii and then crucially drilling down to see that people who are searching for flights to Hawaii by using

[35:22] the Pinterest autocomplete search feature are overwhelmingly searching for cheapest flights to Hawaii and how to get cheap flights to Hawaii. So, what I can then very easily do is upload my own Pinterest pin by utilizing that ad

[35:38] creative that was created for me in Pomelli AI. You then want to add a title such as cheap flights to Hawaii, a brief description along with some hashtags that match exactly what that high purchase intent audience are searching

[35:53] for on Pinterest, giving your pin visibility when those high purchase intent keywords are searched for on Pinterest. And of course, your pin aligns exactly with what they are searching for, maximizing not only the

[36:08] pin. And of course, you want to make sure that you link your affiliate content piece into your pin by inserting it into this field right here. And every single time that high purchase intent audience clicks onto your pin and lands

[36:24] onto your article and reads it, providing them the exact information maximize the amount of clicks that you get onto your call to action, maximizing the affiliate conversions that you can generate. And by identifying as many of

[36:41] those high purchase intent audiences as possible on Pinterest and creating high converting affiliate articles over on Horizons, which you can then link onto each of those pins by publishing as many of those pins as possible. You can then

[36:56] significantly increase the amount of high purchase intent traffic that you can drive to your affiliate articles containing information and affiliate links that align exactly with what they are searching for with strong purchasing

[37:11] intent. This was an example of how anybody can implement a highly scalable affiliate marketing strategy that can now be set up relatively quickly with the use of AI for those who do want to actually get started with affiliate

[37:26] marketing in 2026. And if you got value from this video, please make sure that you smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, and hit that bell notification so that you get notified every single time that I release a new
