Affiliate marketing is the practice of promoting another company's product or service in exchange for a commission on sales generated. Commissions are usually a percentage of the sale price, although they can sometimes be a flat fee.

When you think about it, affiliate marketing is similar to beginning a business in certain respects. You have the clear advantage of not having to maintain goods and often do not need to recruit employees, but you are still establishing an online organisation.

Whatever technique you select, whether creating blog articles or running advertisements, there are certain steps you'll need to follow to learn how to make money with affiliate marketing. That implies you must take steps to prepare yourself for what is ahead.

Even for individuals who are well-versed in digital marketing, affiliate marketing can get rather complicated. Fortunately, you don't need to be an expert to get started.

1. When an affiliate joins a merchant's programme, he or she is assigned a unique ID and a URL to use when advertising the company's goods.

2. The affiliate inserts the link in their blog post and/or email marketing efforts, inviting readers to click it to learn more.

3. A cookie identifying the affiliate is installed on the website visitor's computer when a potential buyer clicks on the link to visit the affiliate partner's site. The cookie guarantees that the publisher receives credit for the referral sale, even if it occurs days or weeks later.

4. When a customer completes the transaction process, the merchant examines the sales record for a cookie that identifies the source of the referral.

5. If the merchant discovers a cookie with an affiliate ID, the affiliate receives credit for the transaction.

6. The merchant provides reports so that the affiliate may track their referrals (clicks) and sales.

7. The affiliate commission is paid by the merchant at the conclusion of each payment period (i.e. revenue sharing).
