Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.
Affiliate marketing is a way for a company to sell its products by signing up individuals or companies ("affiliates") who market the company's products for a commission. It is a modern variation of the practice of paying finder's-fees for the introduction of new clients to a business.
Examples of Affiliate Marketing
One of the most popular examples of affiliate marketing is Amazon's affiliate program. Amazon allows individuals or companies to sign up as affiliates and promote any product on the site. When a visitor clicks on an affiliate link and makes a purchase, the affiliate earns a commission.
Another example is the affiliate program for the online course provider, Udemy. Udemy allows individuals or companies to sign up as affiliates and promote any course on the site. When a visitor clicks on an affiliate link and enrolls in a course, the affiliate earns a commission.
