What is Affilaite Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where individuals or businesses (affiliates) promote products or services for other companies and earn a commission for each sale, lead, or specific action generated through their marketing efforts.

How affiliate marketing works?

  • Affiliate Program: A company offers an affiliate program to promote its products. They provide affiliates with unique tracking links or promo codes to track their performance.

  • Affiliate’s Role: The affiliate markets these products or services through various channels like blogs, social media, email newsletters, or websites. Their goal is to drive traffic to the company’s website.

  • Customer Action: When someone clicks on the affiliate's unique link and completes a desired action (e.g., makes a purchase, signs up for a service), the affiliate earns a commission.

  • Payment Models: Common compensation models include:

  1. Pay-per-sale (PPS): Affiliates earn a commission only when a sale is made.
  2. Pay-per-click (PPC): Affiliates earn money when a user clicks on the affiliate link.
  3. Pay-per-lead (PPL): Affiliates earn a commission when a lead (e.g., signing up for a newsletter or filling out a contact form) is generated.
