The Travel Coach Network is thrilled to partner with Stay22 to open up even more doors for our members to build multiple revenue streams!
You already offer coaching, group trips, retreats, newsletters, blogs, and videos.
You’re sharing your adventures, providing travel recommendations, and helping others create meaning through experiences and programs.
Stay22 allows you to build onto what you’re already doing by making affiliate marketing easy.
Stay22 isn’t your average affiliate program, either.
It’s a smarter way to monetize your travel expertise and content.
It’s actually the perfect example of what I’ve been talking about recently on social media, and on the Travel Coach Network podcast.
In an industry where A.I. is becoming increasingly commonplace, your main differentiator is you, and the human connection you build with your clients and communities.
But we can still leverage A.I. – using it to help us save time, make more money, and instead focus our time and energy on the things that really matter.
It’s easy to get started, too.
In just 5 minutes, you can add a simple script that automatically turns both your new and existing content into a revenue stream.

How to Make More Money With Stay22
If you’re already creating travel content like destination guides, hotel reviews, and itineraries (and your revenue just isn’t reflecting the effort you put into it), you’re not alone.
For most travel professionals, monetization is the hardest part.
Not because the content isn’t good enough, but because the traditional approach to affiliate marketing is manual, time-consuming, and easy to get wrong.
Knowing which networks to join, how to structure content for conversions, where to place links, and what to link to can quickly feel like a full-time job.
Most creators either never start or they abandon it before seeing meaningful results.
The big shift happening right now is that AI-powered tools like Stay22 have removed most of that friction, making it entirely possible to earn passive affiliate commissions from content you’ve already published.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how it works, how to set it up in under five minutes, and how to maximize your earning potential.

What is Stay22 and Who Is It For?
Stay22 is an AI-powered monetization platform built specifically for travel content creators, bloggers, and publishers.
Unlike traditional affiliate programs that require you to manually find, insert, and maintain links across your content, Stay22 automates the entire process by analyzing your audience’s behavior, location, and booking intent in real time.
No more dealing with broken links, or spending hours going through pages and posts to update links… because a company you linked to before no longer exists.
Creating Content on a Website?
If you’re a travel blogger, than that example will be incredibly relevant.
But even if you’re not?
You’re likely going to have a website eventually.
And when you do, why not monetize it by having Stay22 automatically insert related affiliate links?
Once set up, it runs completely in the background.
You don’t need to update links, chase broken redirects, or manually insert affiliate URLs every time you publish new travel content.
Stay22 works best for creators who are already producing consistent content and want to turn it into a passive income stream without adding to their workload.
Creating Content on YouTube?
It’s not just for writers, either!
Stay22 has recently announced that they’re working with creators on YouTube.
So if you’re focusing on YouTube as a primary or a secondary channel, Stay22 could be a great way to monetize it.
You don’t need to wait until you qualify for the YouTube Partner Program, or until you get your first brand deal.
Stay22’s Core Features
Spark
Scans your existing content and automatically inserts affiliate links where booking opportunities are being missed.
For most creators, this means articles published months or years ago start earning without being touched.
Nova
Detects when a reader is showing booking intent and opens a relevant affiliate offer in a new tab at exactly the right moment… designed as a non-intrusive way to maximize conversions.
LinkSwap
Automatically replaces outdated or broken affiliate links with high-converting alternatives.
Every dead link on your site is a missed earning opportunity; LinkSwap fixes them automatically.
How to Set Up Stay22 and Start Earning
The setup process takes less than five minutes and requires no technical knowledge or developer support.
Step 1: Create your account & claim your bonus
Head to Stay22.com and sign up as a partner with your website URL.
Remember to use our link to automatically qualify for your $200 bonus after your first 100 bookings!
Step 2: Install the LMA script
Once inside the Partner Hub, navigate to the Script Builder, copy your generated script, and paste it into the header or footer of your website. (Most website platforms have a dedicated field for this under their settings).
Step 3: Let Spark, Nova, and LinkSwap activate
Once the script is live, Stay22’s tools go to work across your entire site, scanning content, analyzing reader intent, and patching broken links seamlessly.
Step 4: Optimize your content with maps and custom links
Take it a step further on your highest-traffic posts by using the Map Builder to add interactive accommodation maps and the Allez Generator to create custom affiliate links.
🎉 Quick Reminder: When you sign up through our link, Stay22 will add a $200 bonus to your account once you hit your first 100 bookings!
Tips to Maximize Your Earnings
Stay22 operates on an affiliate commission model: when a reader clicks a link on your content and completes a booking, you earn a percentage of the value.
While earnings vary based on traffic, destination, and booking values, you can take active steps to multiply your income:
1. Create content with high booking intent
Destination inspiration is great for traffic, but conversions happen when people are actively planning.
Prioritize hotel reviews, “where to stay” guides, best things to do roundups, and detailed itineraries.
2. Optimize your highest-traffic posts first
Don’t overhaul your entire library at once.
Start with your top ten highest-traffic posts, add a Map widget, and ensure they are optimized for booking intent.
3. Diversify beyond your website
Your earning potential isn’t limited to a blog.
Use the Allez Generator to create custom links and QR codes for:
- Instagram Stories and link-in-bio
- Email newsletters
- Downloadable travel guides and ebooks
- YouTube video descriptions
4. Let the analytics guide your strategy
Check your real-time Stay22 dashboard regularly.
If your “Best Hotels in Lisbon” post is converting like crazy, it’s a clear signal to publish more Portugal accommodation content!!
Is Stay22 Worth It?
Affiliate marketing has a reputation for being complicated.
And with most platforms, it is.
Stay22 is one of the few tools that genuinely delivers on the promise of passive income for travel creators.
It takes less than five minutes to set up, works on content you’ve already published, and runs quietly in the background.
If you’re creating travel content consistently, it can make a world of difference for you.
Both for your income, and for the reduction of time you’ll spend with links and the back-end admin.
