Affiliate Marketing

Hi, can anyone tell me in brief that what is Affiliate Marketing?

[Clay_P]

Affiliate marketing is promoting the products of other businesses, to your audience to earn commission in return. 

It works like this:

• Suppose you own a website/YouTube channel where you share information about digital marketing/web development
• You join a good hosting affiliate program to recommend their service to your audience
• You will get affiliate links from the business which you can share on your website or YouTube channel
• Your audience will click on the link and purchase a hosting service
• You will get the commission for referring a new customer to the business.

Simplest way to put is to say it's an advertising model in which a company compensates publishers to generate traffic or leads to the company's products and services. The third-party publishers are affiliates, and the commission fee incentivizes them to find ways to promote the company.
