Income through Affiliate Marketing

Income through Affiliate Marketing


Income through Affiliate Marketing


The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as ‘retailer’ or ‘brand’), the network (that contains offers for the affiliate to choose from and also takes care of the payments), the publisher (also known as ‘the affiliate’), and the customer. A business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts.

Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other company’s products.


You find a product you like, promote it to others, and earn a piece of the profit for each sale that you make.


You’re happy because you earned a commission…

The company is happy because they have a new sale from a customer that they might not have normally been able to reach…

And the customer is happy because they learned about a product from you that will hopefully fulfill a need or desire.

The beauty of affiliate marketing is that you don’t have to invest the time and effort to create a product to sell. You can begin selling something as an affiliate as soon as you have a platform to sell it on.
