What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing involves a merchant paying online entities outside of their company, known as affiliates, for referring new business. Affiliate marketing is performance-based, so affiliates only receive commissions on successful transactions

Affiliates

Affiliates range from an everyday social media user to content sites that specialize in a specific industry.

The affiliate's goal is to introduce people to the merchant's brand. This can be through promotions, coupons, and much more. If people make it to the merchant's website via the affiliate then the affiliate receives commission.

Why it Works

Affiliate marketing is a performance based industry so affiliates are incentivized to send traffic to your sites. As you expand your online marketing efforts with affiliate marketing the advertising will pay for itself.
