Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where businesses (merchants) partner with individuals or companies (affiliates) to promote their products or services. Affiliates earn commissions for each successful referral, sale, or action generated through their marketing efforts.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

1. Partnership Formation: Merchants create affiliate programs and recruit affiliates
2. Unique Tracking: Each affiliate receives unique tracking links or codes
3. Promotion: Affiliates promote the merchant's products through various channels
4. Attribution: Sales and actions are tracked back to specific affiliates
5. Commission Payment: Affiliates receive compensation based on performance
