Do you have a content site, travel blog or website?

In this module, we’ll show you how to promote SafetyWing on your website to maximize your affiliate earnings. We will showcase visual real-life examples from our Ambassadors who are already promoting SafetyWing successfully to inspire you to get started.

How much traffic do I need?

The most commonly asked question we get. While we do not have a minimum traffic requirement to join our SafetyWing Ambassador program, we typically see the best results with content and travel sites that have 10,000+ monthly visits.

More traffic means more eyeballs. More eyeballs also means more people potentially clicking on your affiliate link, if you have placed it strategically. We’ll show you how to do this!

However, what’s even more important is that you understand your audience and you promote products they actually want. So having a smaller site with a very targeted audience can definitely be very successful with affiliate marketing.

Ways to promote SafetyWing on your site

Text link implementation

Text links are a fantastic way to promote SafetyWing and done right, they can get you a lot of clicks.

They are also very easy to implement as they don’t take much time.

Simply head to your Ambassador Cockpit and create your unique affiliate link. Our campaign feature will help you create links that can be used on specific articles or landing pages to track their impact and success.

With text links, we recommend the following:

1. Placing your Ambassador link in articles that are already doing well and receive the most traffic on your site (this can also be evergreen content such as “top 10” or “most visited” or “resource” articles)
2. Placing the link as high as possible in the article, links that appear in the bottom half of articles are often not nearly clicked as much as the ones at the top
3. Use a call to action when placing your Ambassador link, such as “Find out more”, “Get insured”, “Buy insurance” - try to be short and precise and feel free to create some urgency
4. Quality content always wins! Make sure you provide real value, try to speak from your own experience and be personal and trustworthy
5. Always be transparent and let your audience know when you use affiliate links, this will also help avoid search engine penalties and legal issues
6. Having a landing page about SafetyWing or writing a review or comparison article is an effective way to give your audience an overview of features and inclusions and something to always link back and refer to from other parts of your site, this, in turn, can help conversions
