If you’ve ever listened to a podcast ad or seen a social media influencer promote a product, you’ve likely been a recipient of affiliate marketing.

In exchange for recommending products and services to their audiences, affiliate partners receive a commission for any sales made as a result of their referrals.

When you become an affiliate, you’ll receive a unique link that allows your program manager to track every customer you send their way. When a customer purchases the product through your link, you earn a commission.

You can find an affiliate program directly through a company or via an affiliate network that lists multiple programs. Regardless, here’s how the standard affiliate program works:1. You promote Store A on your website, blog, or social network.
2. Someone clicks your unique link.
3. They make a purchase in Store A.
4. The company or affiliate network records the transaction.
5. The purchase is confirmed by Store A.
6. You receive a commission.
