Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Hello,
I’m a travel tour operator in Morocco, i have a website and i want to create an affiliate program for my travel packages, people who can promote them and get me eventual customers, can you tell me from where to start ? how can i find and hire affiliates ? Thanks a lot

I have a lot of business experience and I’m very business-orientated. I particularly love travelling and I have travelled a lot all around the world with my family. My idea is to be an affiliate with hotels, resorts, cruise lines and travel networks. My dad also owns a property in France and has time-share experience. I will then advise various families and other travellers which hotel and country will be most suitable for them and possibly hire some fellow consultants to advise them too. I will not reveal my age. Do you think this is possible and if not, why?

I would like to start a company either abroad or a company that allows me to travel. I guess I’m looking for a niche but coming up with an idea has been more difficult than I hoped. Any ideas?

I am going to Japan from August 1st to August 12th…so, about two weeks. I’m staying with friends, so my “living expenses” are covered. I will mostly be staying in the Tokyo area and plan to do a few day trips (Nikko, Kawagoe, etc.).
Looking for a general budget…shopping/souvenirs, food, travel (by train).
I would really not like to bring more than $500. Cheap trip suggestions, tips on inexpensive attractions, budget bites, or best kept secrets are also appreciated. My mother speaks and reads Japanese fluently so I’ll be able to find pretty much anything you suggest.
Desired recommendations:
– I’ve already been to Kamakura and will probably go again.
– I’m really into historical sites (pre-Western influence, “old Japan”).
– I would love to visit a public bath…hot springs would be great if there are any accessible nearby.
– I would love recommendations on the best shopping…trendy/bohemian shops, out-door markets are a plus.
– Any out of the ordinary, must-sees.
– A traditional tea house
