What is Affiliate Marketing?

It is a performance-based marketing strategy that has gained a lot of popularity in the last couple of years as it is a low-risk method to increase brand awareness, market reach, traffic and sales. It has become one of the best and most reliable ways of making money.

In affiliate marketing, there are four main players:

  • Merchant: He is the retailer or brand
  • Network: Comprise offers for affiliates to choose from and also manages payments
  • Publisher: Affiliates
  • User: Individuals browsing the web.

Before moving on, let us first understand how affiliate marketing works. The merchant looks for affiliates who can promote their business, and in return for every successful sale, they pay them a commission. The commission structure varies from company to company.

The affiliates put the product links on their websites or social media platforms, which help increase brand awareness and sales. This is a pretty good business that is beneficial for both merchants and affiliates.
