Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing model where individuals or businesses, known as affiliates, earn commissions by promoting another company’s products or services. Affiliates use various channels, such as websites, social media, email marketing, or blogs, to drive traffic to the company’s website or landing page. When a referred user completes a specific action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a service, the affiliate earns a commission based on the agreed terms.
This marketing strategy benefits all parties involved. Businesses gain increased exposure and sales without upfront advertising costs, paying only for successful conversions. Affiliates have the opportunity to earn passive income by leveraging their platforms and audience. Customers may also benefit by discovering products or services that match their needs, often accompanied by promotional deals or recommendations.
Affiliate marketing typically operates through unique tracking links or codes assigned to affiliates. These links help track user actions, ensuring that commissions are correctly attributed. Success in affiliate marketing often depends on trust, transparency, and the affiliate’s ability to effectively target their audience with relevant and engaging content.
