 Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing model where an affiliate earns a commission by promoting another company's products or servicesAffiliates use unique tracking links to direct customers to a merchant's site, and they get paid for resulting sales, clicks, or leads. It's a partnership where businesses get cost-effective marketing, and affiliates can earn income by sharing recommendations with their audience.  

How it works
  • Affiliate promotion
    An affiliate, such as a blogger or social media influencer, promotes a product or service through content they create. 
  • Unique tracking link
    The affiliate uses a unique tracking link to embed in their content (like a blog post, video, or social media post). 
  • Customer purchase
    When a customer clicks the affiliate's link and makes a purchase on the merchant's site, the affiliate earns a commission. 
  • Commission models
    The commission can be a percentage of the sale price or a fixed amount per sale, click, or sign-up, depending on the program.
