What is affiliate marketing

 

If you are new to affiliate marketing,

let's cover how it works

 What is affiliate marketing?

  Affiliate marketing is promoting other people's products for a small commission for each sale

 Affiliate link or sponsored by you on many websites

Post topics marked as viewed are affiliate links

 Find an affiliate program or network that interests you. See an overview of the program, including the types of products or services, payment methods, and commissions they offer

  If this appeals to you, sign up and wait for confirmation of your acceptance.

 Then, start creating content, adding custom links provided by the program

 Those links track when one of your customers makes a purchase, and you'll get a small commission

 The network sends you a payment when you reach a minimum payment level. Payment methods vary, and typically include PayPal, bank transfers, and checks

 After approval, start promoting your affiliate links on your website, in newsletters, on social media, and anywhere else you're allowed to share links.

 You can work with individual companies or affiliate networks, where you register and select programs that interest you. Programs are usually divided into categories to make selection easier
