What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s (or company’s) products. You find a product you like, promote it, and earn a profit for each sale you make. (1)

Vendors incentivize promoters through an affiliate program, offering a commission for every sale driven by the promoter. For brand growth, we focus on affiliate marketing as a vendor.

Affiliate marketing is growing, benefiting vendors and promoters. Amazon’s success highlights its effectiveness. According to 99Firms and Statista, affiliate marketing spending in the US increases by 10.1% annually, expected to reach $8.2 billion by 2022.
