Is the MarketingBoost affiliate program right for you?
I have written about MarketingBoost for small businesses in this post already. However, this time I am going to talk about the MarketingBoost affiliate program and the benefits, so it’s easier for you to promote them. These highlights are going to explain how you can generate revenue, increase sales and even save money with Marketing Boost.
But first, deciding if this is the right affiliate program depends on a number of factors. These include marketability of the product, what the commission structure is like, quality of the product and what the support is like. In case you are interested you can find the Affiliate terms of service here.
Enough about that, let’s get right to it shall we?

How Marketable is MarketingBoost for affiliates?
An affiliate program is no good to you if you cannot sell the product. Therefore, it is important to understand what kind of need the product fills and who your target audience might be.
The good news is that the Marketing Boost affiliate program is suitable for almost any industry or niche. If you aren’t already familiar with Marketing Boost, go back to the very first sentence in this post, read it and come back. But in case you want the cliff notes version, Marketing Boost is an incentive marketing program.
In other words, subscribers can offer different incentives to customers or potential customers for them to perform a desired action. Their main product is a travel incentive which allows the members to send people on a complimentary vacation. The other two products are a discounted dining program and discounted hotel stay programs. I will get into more detail later regarding all the ways the program can benefit potential clients. There is an important question to ask though.
MarketingBoost member benefits
Members can give away an UNLIMITED number of complimentary vacation vouchers to customers. |
Members can give away vouchers for discounted Hotel room rates from a choice of over 1 Million hotels worldwide. No restrictions. |
Members can give away vouchers for discounted dining deals and other services. |
Who are the potential clients?
I’m not exaggerating when I say that the market is wide open for a Marketing Boost affiliate. The program is extremely flexible and can appeal to anyone looking to attract more business. Anyone that can benefit from attracting more leads, building an email list, creating repeat business, an employee/customer reward program or making money will have some sort of interest in this.
Chances are if you are reading this, you fall into one of these categories.
That can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. My advice to anyone starting this is to focus in one area first before expanding. I say this because trying to market to everyone is very competitive and can lead to frustration. On the other hand, focusing might help you become an expert in your niche.
Do you already serve small business owners in one way or another? Are you associated with friends or family members that are doing multi level marketing(MLM)? Do you know anyone that just built a website?
If you look around, there are potential clients everywhere. You can probably come up with a pretty healthy list just by looking at your social media pages. Next time you leave the house take a visual inventory of all the small businesses that can use more customers. How about getting a client list from people who are already advertising? Look at your junk mail next time the mail-person comes by and see who is advertising on vehicles such as mobile billboards next time you are out.

MarketingBoost.com offers a Lifetime recurring commission affiliate program
Hopefully that got your attention! Marketing Boost is a subscription based service which makes it a subscription based affiliate program. What is even nicer instead of Marketing Boost just giving you a percentage of the initial sale, they give you a percentage of the revenue every time the customer renews.
Lifetime recurring commission is especially nice as an affiliate with Marketing Boost. This is because they have four separate options for members of their program. This is a very nice mix of options because some people will pay up front giving you a bigger payout and others will pay monthly giving you a steady stream of passive, recurring commissions.
The commission percentage is very generous too! You get 40% of any sales you make and 10% of sales for affiliates you sign up as part of their referral program. The tracking cookie is 30 days, which means if a customer clicks your affiliate link you make money if they buy within 30 days. Marketing Boost makes it easier to convert by offering a FREE 7-day trial. Lastly, Marketing Boost is one of the affiliate programs that pays weekly. So no long waits to get your commissions. The images below show you the pricing page, go ahead and take a look by clicking either image, but you want to come back because I have more information about the affiliate program. Did I mention as an affiliate if you refer another business owner to their FREE affiliate program, YOU get a free 3 day Vegas vacation?
MarketingBoost annual plans
MarketingBoost monthly plans
Product Quality/MarketingBoost affiliate support
I put these two together because they go hand in hand. The quality of Marketing Boost as an incentive marketing affiliate program is very high. On the other hand, if you have no idea how to use it or explain it you still may have a problem selling it. That is the reason for this post, to make sure anyone who signs up is equipped to be successful. But I’m not the only resource. Marketing Boost has social media pages with resources to help you hit the ground running. In addition, there are others like me, that lend a hand on those same pages. In addition to these resources, they have a library of tutorials and marketing materials no matter what niche you are targeting.
One of the things I have noticed about this program is that actual businesses are doing better with Marketing Boost than many affiliate marketers. I think I know the reason because I fell into this trap.
Affiliate marketers love the idea of passive, recurring, lifetime affiliate income. But even passive affiliate income is not 100% passive. Just like the people you sell MarketingBoost, as an affiliate you have to remain at least somewhat active in order to continue benefiting.
My downfall as a MarketingBoost affiliate
I am a perfect example of this. When I created this site it was really an experiment to see if I could rank it. At the same time, I created a private group showing people how to also become bloggers and how to make money doing it. Part of the process was looking for the best affiliate programs for bloggers and a suitable affiliate program for beginners.
With activity came results, with inactivity the results went away. I worked on the site and with the group for around 6 months and then I abandoned it because I got bored. Over time the group disappeared and the site tanked and so did the income.
Even then Marketing Boost kept sending me money. But eventually it dried up as people lost interest or gave up. I started the site in 2018 worked on it sporadically and then stopped all together by 2019. My last commission from Marketing Boost was in 2020. That said, it still made income for 2 years with no effort. Had I done anything, even once a month, I would have grown or maintained my recurring affiliate income stream.
The screenshot below is one month of commission that I received well after I had stopped working on the program. You can see here I had 15 people that were paying a monthly fee, giving me recurring revenue and three people that pad for annual membership. $824 for that month was not bad considering I had done nothing for months and it was just one of 4 or 5 different affiliate programs I was promoting. I guess you can tell, this is not an affiliate marketing blog!

As you can see, if you are creative you can boost marketing results for your clients by getting them involved. But knowing the product benefits is not the same as understanding them. Instead of just stopping here, I am going to list several ways that Marketing Boost members can make or save money if they join!
The guide below is how members benefit from the Marketing Boost incentive program. Affiliates do not get these benefits unless they become members. Membership is NOT required to be an affiliate. The information below is created to help you clearly describe Marketing Boost as an affiliate even if you are not a Marketing Boost paid member.
MarketingBoost membership benefits
1. Increase revenue using Marketing Boost
MarketingBoost.com subscribers have several options with this program. One of the best features is their FREE resort stay program which allows you to give away vacations. Generating revenue will also be your clients #1 concern.
The good news is there are several real world examples that you will be able to point to.
Marketing Boost success story examples:
- Service Industries such as lawn care, pest control and various repair and maintenance services have had success. Some of the incentives I have seen include things like “Upgrade your service and receive a free resort stay in Vegas.” This is GREAT for existing customers that already know and love you!
- Retail stores that sell actual physical products have been able to do well with this too. For instance, “Spend $100 or more and we will pay for your Orlando hotel!”
- E-Commerce sites that sell products online have used this with promotions such as “Purchase any three items and get 3 nights in Daytona Beach.”
- Even those in network marketing/MLM have used this to double their leads and improve their down-line. While most MLM companies do NOT allow you to give away a product for a sign up, there is NO RULE stating that you cannot use it to prospect for leads. An effective promotion that I saw was “Sign up for my Webinar and I will comp your 3 night resort.” This can be done with people who do open houses or arrange meet ups as well. “Three nights in Branson on me just for attending my open house.“
- Realtors can use this on both sides of the sale. For instance you can encourage someone to let you list their home and give them a FREE 3 night stay in the USA. Then when you sell the home, you can give them a 5 night stay in an International location as a closing gift!
- Referral Programs work with this as well. “Refer 5 people to me and your stay in Myrtle Beach is on me.“

The video above is one example of materials they provide free.
2. Use the Dining Guru feature as a gift or marketing incentive
I mentioned that Marketing Boost is a suite of tools that you can use to entice people to do business with you.
Dining Guru is one of the the other tools available. I am not sure if your remember the Entertainment Books. They were often sold during fundraisers to raise money for schools. If you are not familiar with the product you can check out The Entertainment Coupon Book Company HERE.
With MarketingBoost.com you get FREE access to send out vouchers to your clients as rewards, incentives or gifts. You can send out vouchers in increments of $100, $200 and $300. Clients use these vouchers to “buy” they deal they want.
Dining Guru examples in my area:
This one is for a restaurant called the Mellow Mushroom, which is a popular spot in Tampa. Assuming your client gives their customer a $100 voucher they can use that voucher to “buy” that Mellow Mushroom deal. In this case, you would “spend” just $1 of the $100 Dining Guru voucher to get $15 off your bill! And then you still have $99 MORE voucher dollars to “spend” on other promotions.
Dining Guru does not just do food. They do products and services as well! Here is one for an oil change which saves you $20 in real money in exchange for 5 voucher dollars. The best part is, I still would have 94 voucher dollars left after my meal and oil change that I can use to save even more real money!
You could use this in a very similar way as the vacations OR you can give it away as part of a purchase. Once again realtors should find this very handy. Someone just moving into the area would probably appreciate saving money and trying out a variety of local businesses. Go ahead and plug in your zip code or city and see what offers are available. There is no need to register with the site.
3. Over SIX hours of Social Media Training as a Marketing Boost Member
If you have ever wanted to dip your toe into social media marketing, now you can! Facebook and other social media sites have given small businesses the ability to target clients without destroying their ad budget. Small business-people have found success once they learn how to target their audience.
This is a highly underrated portion of the Marketing Boost program. Here are some Facebook small business success stories that show clients how effective it can be. ESPECIALLY if you combine it with incentives!
4. Marketing Boost Facebook Group + Mastermind Group
Once again, you should not undervalue the importance of collaborating with thousands of people with similar goals! Along these same lines, Marketing Boost has a mastermind group where you can actually meet people and brainstorm. These mastermind trips are offered at a steep discount to members, 40-60% below retail!
5. Marketing Boost Pays You to Give Away Vacations
This option is reserved for ANNUAL members but you can make money on redeemed vacations!
The main benefit of Marketing Boost is the ability to give away resort stays to your leads, potential clients and existing customers. Now, with the annual membership, they will actually pay you anytime someone redeems the free resort stay you just gave them.
Here is the payout for each redemption:
Monthly Mexico Activation
1-10 = $7
11-24 = $10
Over 24 = $15
Monthly Europe & Asia Activation
1-10 = $5
11-24 = $7
Over 24 = $10
Monthly US Activation
1-10 = $3
11-24 = $5
Over 24 = $7
6. Marketing Boost pays you to give out travel discounts to consumers
As part of the Marketing Boost program you get FREE access to their discount travel portal. Think of it like Expedia or Priceline with a discount. The savings range anywhere from 30-70% compared to other major travel sites. There are several other perks worth mentioning, and since we are still talking about revenue I will start with that one.
Marketing Boost members have access to BookVip Plus for free. Anyone who has a Marketing Boost membership can give out discount certificates redeemable on BookVip Plus. Those discounts are worth $100-$300 in savings over companies like Booking, Expedia and Priceline. In addition to that discount, the client you referred will get an email asking them if they would like to continue to save up to 70% on travel. If they accept the offer, you will get a recurring commission of 40% per month as long as they remain a member. You can demo BookVIP plus here without registering.
Here is an example of a Week In NY using BookVip Plus, right in the Times Square Area.
The BookVip Plus price INCLUDES tax, that will not be the case when you visit other sites. You usually get hit with those at the end of checkout online or worse, when you try to check in at the hotel. I hope you noticed in the image above where its says rewards credits.
A Penny Saved with Marketing Boost is a Penny Earned
We talked about all of the ways to make money with MarketingBoost, now we will talk about how you can SAVE money with MarketingBoost!
7. You Can Take One International Vacation or One Domestic Vacation FREE
As a paid member of MarketingBoost you get to take advantage of the same features that you give to your clients. While the money making part of the program is the key benefit, there are tens of thousands of dollars to be saved, depending on usage frequency.
For example, I am sure you see the immediate value of being able to give yourself a trip to Las Vegas for 3 nights or Cancun for 5 nights. The value goes deeper than that though. By taking the trip yourself, you can show your future clients, what they might expect when they do business with you! This feature is the ultimate win/win. You get a free resort stay, you can take real photos and videos and then you can share your real, personal experience with others.
The Savings for the domestic trips have a value of up $200 per night for a 3 night stay. International trip value is up to $300 per night for a 5 night stay. In other words, you would save yourself up to $600-$1500 for these trips.
8. You Can Use Dining Guru Vouchers for Yourself
I mentioned the benefit of the Dining Guru program as a great incentive marketing tool or a reward. But, you can use them for yourself too. What is even sweeter is you can send yourself as many vouchers as you would like. I have shown you examples of some of the saving previously but I want to give you another example or two.
Are you in the market for a mattress? This coupon alone will save you a minimum $75. $2 of the $100 voucher dollars well spent!
We all know how expensive suits can be, how would you like to save 40% on your next new suit?
The Dining Guru program features over 100,000 offers, including 2-for-1 and up-to-50% off discounts, all backed by the power of Entertainment®. Choose from a broad selection of deals across all dining categories and cuisines, from local favorites and popular national brands! Just select your favorite deals and use your promotional gift code to purchase. Redemption is simple and convenient: either present your phone or a printable certificate to receive the discount.
9. You Get Free Access to BookVIP Plus
I pointed out earlier that you will have the opportunity to make money using BookVIP Plus. Once again, as with other programs they offer, you get to use this feature personally as well.
The BookVip Plus portal is very similar to sites like Expedia and other travel site search portals. With BookVip Plus you can book your own cruise, hotels, rental cars, flights and so on. The pricing on these trips can be up to 70% less than what you might find anywhere else. In addition, if you happen to find a deal better than what they offer for the exact same trip, they will refund you 110% of the difference.
BookVip Plus also offers a Marketplace feature and a Weekly Deals feature. These are perfect for people who want to find even better deals and are flexible with their travel plans.
The Marketplace feature allows you to bid on a room to get an even better deal.
Finally, BookVIP Plus offers reward credits when you use them to book your travel. The reward credit can be accumulated and then redeemed for even more cheap travel later on.
