Affiliate Marketing Definition

Affiliate marketing involves businesses partnering with individuals or websites (affiliates) who promote products or services. Affiliates earn a commission for generating sales, leads, or traffic through tracked links, often using blogs, social media, or email campaigns.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

  • Businesses set up affiliate programs with defined commission structures.

  • Affiliates promote products using unique tracking links or promo codes.

  • When users click the links and convert (purchase, signup, etc.), affiliates earn a commission.

  • Affiliate platforms provide reporting and payment management.

Example of Affiliate Marketing

A fitness influencer shares a unique link to a supplement store. Every purchase through the link earns them a commission.
