A Brief About Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a lucrative way to earn commissions by effectively promoting products and services from other businesses. You don't need to spend time creating your own products or starting your brand. You become an affiliate, promote what others have created, and, in turn, get paid for it.
This is how it works. During registration, you're given a certain affiliate code or link that you carry around everywhere. You utilize different strategies to promote and string the code along. Every time someone makes a purchase through your code, you earn a specified commission. This commission is based on criteria fixed by the businesses themselves. You don't get anything if you don't match the criteria.
