Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. In simpler terms, it’s a way for businesses to promote their products or services through third-party individuals or companies (affiliates), who earn a commission for every sale, lead, or action they generate.
Partnership:
we involve collaboration between companies and merchants (companies selling products or services).
Promotion:
we promote the merchant’s offerings through various channels.
Businesses only pay for actual results (sales or leads), making it a cost-effective marketing strategy
Expanded reach
Affiliates promote products/services to their own audience, which can significantly expand the business’s reach and exposure
Performance-based
Since affiliates are rewarded based on their performance, it incentivizes them to actively promote the products/services
Risk reduction
Since businesses only pay for actual sales or leads, there’s less risk involved compared to traditional advertising where you pay upfront without guaranteed results
SEO benefits
Affiliate links and promotions can drive traffic to the business’s website, potentially improving its search engine rankings
