    Create a travel related blog or Web site. You will need to build a site focused on a particular travel niche that will bring enough visitors that you can in turn refer to your affiliate site in order to earn a commission.

For example you can build a site about extreme-sports travel, travel with pets, traveling to bed and breakfasts--whatever suits your interest and you would enjoy writing and creating videos about.
