First € made!
by Chris DermodyThe app's been live a few weeks now - and it's gotten a lot of interest from the tech communities where I shared it - but this morning I checked my referral dashboard for flights and saw that someone made a booking using my referral!
I'll make €13 from it! :D

Nice, well done! The first of many I hope 🙂It's a pretty crowded market place (referrals based travel sites), I like the simplicity of your website at the moment, how do you plan to differentiate yourself and drive traffic to the site?

To be honest I'm not sure how I differentiate. Ive never seen an app that gives you the whole cost of a trip, so I guess that's a differentiator. Not 100% sure tho. Have you any ideas?

well, a lot of companies that lead with one service e.g. flight booking, then allow you to build out the whole trip during the checkout process. I like that yours shows both simultaneously for a change...arguably a differentiator. I guess you could/should add some price filters as the project develops and show how your prices compare to some similar sites (if you can get that sort of data). Do you know https://travelbird.com/ ? They are slightly more like package holiday focused, but that's essentially the end game for referrals sites when they want to increase their margins :)

Interesting! I was thinking that if the app got enough users and enough data, it could auto-generate "packages" based on some initial user inputs.
Marketing this is a real challenge for me at the mo. Not sure how to go about getting traffic right now

Probably too tough to get into pay per click battles with other referral sites on google?
