Affiliate Marketing
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where creators and influencers earn commissions by promoting other people's or companies' products or services. When someone makes a purchase through the creator's unique affiliate link, the creator receives a percentage of the sale.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
- Join an Affiliate Program: Creators sign up for affiliate programs offered by companies or platforms
- Get Unique Links: Receive special tracking links that identify you as the referrer
- Promote Products: Share these links through content, social media, or other channels
- Earn Commissions: Get paid when people make purchases through your links
Benefits for Creators
- Passive Income: Earn money while you sleep as your content continues to drive sales
- Low Risk: No inventory or upfront costs required
- Flexibility: Choose products that align with your brand and audience
- Scalability: Income potential grows with your audience
Best Practices
