Affiliate Incentives or how sunshine.co.uk are awesome.
As any reader of the af4u forums will known sunshine.co.uk have been running a series of amazing affiliate incentives such as giving away holidays worth in excess of £2,000. The best thing about these incentives is that it’s open to everyone, sunshine.co.uk have created the competition in such a way that you don’t have to send £1′000s in commissions to even be considored, in order to win the latest competition all you have to do is a blog or write about your ideal itineray on any of the sunshine.co.uk’s destinations. IF you don’t have a travel site it’s the ideal time to get started.
I have never worked in the travel industry but decided to give it a shot despite the competition, I have always fancied a trip to india and noticed one of the destinations listed was Goa, a popular beach resort in India. I will post the URL of my site once launched, although I don’t expect to win with all the competition it’s still worth a shot not to mention the possibility of earning descent commissions (sunshione payout 7%).
One of the previous incentives was for affiliates to create a blog or website about any location on the sunshine website, not only was this an incentive for affiliate to get involved in the industry they gave full blown instructions on how to do it! checkout David Friskes excellent post here

Thanks for the kind words. I found you via BlogRush (which proves that works!).
I would rank Sunshine very near the top (if not the top) of the incentives list. I’ve yet to see something as valuable and worthwhile offered by other merchants.
The clever thing about the Sunshine comps is that they are fun (and relatively easy) to enter. Prize draws for £100 are great but choosing your own prize (and hence your own prize value) for a date that suits you just seems a much better offer.
