How does Affiliate Marketing Work?


With affiliate marketing you'll get better exposure, better opportunities, and better sales.


Affiliate marketing is the process of allowing a company to advertise to your audience through their products, articles and other information.

Companies pay affiliates a commission when they make sales or leads by using their ad in the affiliate marketer's website. You can have dozens or even hundreds of ads on the same site.


With our blog post you will learn how you can use affiliate marketing to make your business more successful.


To have a successful “Affiliate Marketing” program, it is important to structure the campaigns in such a manner that it is both competitive to the related programs and appealing to the affiliates.


To make affiliate marketing work, three different parties should be involved.


  • Seller and product creators.

  • The affiliate or advertiser.

  • The consumer.


Seller and product creators.


The seller, often styled also as the vendor, is an entity or person that offers or sells a product to a consumer (or business-to-business) where a payment is made in exchange and therefore he/she assumes the role of a seller.

The seller may sometimes be described as the provider, manufacturer, or supplier in which case the seller's primary responsibility is to generate sales revenue.

All sellers or providers have specific obligations and legal requirements regarding their products for sale including costs to be covered and quality standards.








The affiliate or publisher.


The affiliate is personally responsible for the content of the advertisement. This includes ensuring that it meets all legal requirements and generally promoting the product in an appealing way to potential consumers.

These strategies work well on their own, and can also be combined to produce even better results

If the consumer does end up buying the product, the affiliate receives a portion of the revenue made.



The consumer.


As we all know, for the affiliate system to work, there needs to be sales and the consumer or customer is the one who makes them happen.

Affiliates will be able to market the product/service through any social media channel they feel their audience is most active on (whether it be Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube) and any blog the affiliate would like to share this on.


If a customer does purchase through any of those links that are created by the affiliate, then we receive revenue for providing a valuable/beneficial product/service to the consumer.
