Affiliate marketing is a type of marketing in which an affiliate is a salesperson for a company and receives a commission whenever someone clicks on the link and/or purchases something from the company. For example, if you refer someone and help to make a sale, the company will pay you a percentage from its profit. The best part of affiliate marketing is that you may promote products from many different companies and earn commissions from all of them. Moreover, you will not need to worry about storing and shipping the products to the customers, as the companies will take care of such things themselves.

If you have a good presence on social networks, you may use your links to promote the products much easier and start earning the commission. You may also use your blog or website to promote the products. You will need to add the tracking links provided by the companies on your website or share them in your social circles. If someone follows your link and buys a product, you will get a referral fee.

Affiliate marketing has the potential to become significantly more than a passive earner for you, but you’ll need to invest a lot more time and effort to get to that stage.
