What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is an arrangement by which you earn a commission for promoting another company’s products or services. It is form of internet marketing where companies (sometimes referred to as advertisers or merchants) pay people (affiliates) based on their performance promoting an offer via an affiliate link.

If you’re an affiliate (also referred to as a publisher), you use your skills as a marketer to refer your audience to a product. When someone in your audience decides to buy a product or take an action based on your recommendation, you get a commission or kickback.

Here is how affiliate marketing works in 4 simple steps:

1. You join an affiliate program 
2. You pick a product to promote (You will get a unique affiliate link)
3. You share the link via Social media, Blog, YouTube videos, Facebook ads or any other form
4. When someone makes a purchase, you earn a handsome affiliate commission.

Affiliate Links

After signing up with an affiliate program, you’ll get an affiliate link, or a special URL that contains your affiliate username or ID. You use this link whenever you mention the advertiser’s product on your website or in other marketing efforts, such as on social media.

Whenever one of your audience members clicks on your affiliate link, a cookie is dropped into their browser to track them. If they become a customer, the company knows it received that customer from you and you get credit.

If you want your affiliate site to succeed, you need to create high-quality content where your affiliate links fit naturally.
