FAQ

We've got the answers.

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where individuals or businesses (affiliates) promote a product or service and earn a commission for each sale, lead, or action made through their referral.

Affiliates promote a product or service using unique referral links provided by the merchant. When someone clicks on the link and makes a purchase (or completes a desired action), the affiliate earns a commission.

  • Affiliate: The person or business promoting the product.
  • Merchant: The company providing the product or service.
  • Affiliate Network: A platform that connects affiliates with merchants (optional).
  • Customer: The person making the purchase.
  • Tracking: The process of tracking sales and clicks, often via unique affiliate links.

To become an affiliate, you can join affiliate programs offered by companies or affiliate networks. You’ll need to sign up, get approved, and start promoting using the unique links provided by the program.

  • Revenue Share (RS): Affiliates earn a percentage commission on each sale made.
  • Cost-per-acquisition (CPA): Affiliates earn a flat commission on each sale made.
  • Cost-per-lead (CPL): Affiliates are paid for leads generated (e.g., email signups, form submissions).
  • Pay-per-click (PPC): Affiliates are paid for every click generated, regardless of sales.
