What is Affiliate Marketing?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Basically, affiliate marketing is a form of digital marketing where a company pays people to advertise its products and services to help generate sales. These people are known as \u201caffiliates,\u201d and in today\u2019s online world, they\u2019re often bloggers or webmasters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Affiliates place ads marketing certain products or services on their websites. These ads might be prominent banner ads on a web page or an embedded link in a blog article related to the product or service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When a visitor to these websites, blogs, or mobile apps clicks on an ad or link, it generates a lead for the company. The company then pays the affiliate a commission for generating those leads. Sometimes commissions are paid solely on a click\u00a0 (Pay-Per-Click). In other cases, the lead must convert into an actual sale (Pay-Per-Sale) for the affiliate to receive a commission.<\/span><\/p>\n
