It's called "affiliate marketing" because it's a form of marketing for businesses. As the affiliate you promote their products and services. In return the businesses pay you commission for sales you refer. Here's the step-by-step process:
- Join affiliate programs.
- Add tracking links to your websites, social media profiles, apps etc.
- People click on your links.
- Clicks are tracked and you'll see how many convert into sales.
- For each customer you send you'll receive a commission.
- Once you reach payout thresholds the money will be paid to you.
The above gives a brief overview of how it works. For a more in-depth look at affiliate marketing read the guide.

Six Habits Of Profitable Affiliates
FAQs About Being An Affiliate
A collection of commonly searched-for topics, each with a brief answer to help you if you're still learning or investigating affiliation as a revenue method for a digital business.
What is the highest paying affiliate program listed here?
There's never one permanent affiliate program that's the highest paying. The highest paying program for you depends on which niche you operate in, the marketing methods you use, the size of your audience and how hard you promote. Some programs also have private agreements with individual affiliates, so a program that doesn't start out as a high payer may grow to become one.
Which one is the best affiliate program to join?
If you're brand new to the industry it can be best to join one of the major networks such as ShareASale or CJ Affiliate. Those networks have merchants in many different categories, so one account gives you access to hundreds of merchants. Once you have an established audience you can join more specialised programs. Use our comparison tool to weigh options.
What big brands have affiliate programs?
Many major brands use affiliate programs to increase sales. Two of the most well-known are Amazon Associates and eBay Partner Network. Within affiliate networks such as Awin, CJ and Rakuten Advertising you will also find thousands of well-known retailers, software companies and travel brands.
Are affiliate programs legit?
Affiliate marketing is a multi-billion dollar industry built on networks and programs that pay reliably. But not every company behaves the same way. That's why Affpinions exists: to help you learn about companies and judge whether each one is legitimate. Our guide on detecting affiliate scams explains the warning signs.
How can I start affiliate marketing with no money?
Most affiliate networks are free to join, and you can promote links on free social media accounts, a free blog, YouTube video descriptions or a newsletter. Building an audience takes time rather than money. Read what is affiliate marketing for a beginner-friendly overview.
