affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's marketing efforts. It's a type of revenue-sharing arrangement between online merchants and individuals (affiliates) who promote their products or services.
Here's a basic overview of how affiliate marketing works:
Joining an Affiliate Program: Affiliates sign up for an affiliate program offered by a merchant or an affiliate network. The affiliate is then provided with a unique affiliate link or ID.
Promoting Products/Services: Affiliates use various marketing channels to promote the merchant's products or services. This can include content marketing, social media, email marketing, or even paid advertising.
Tracking and Analytics: The unique affiliate link is used to track the traffic and sales generated by the affiliate's efforts. This link typically contains a code that identifies the affiliate.
