Hi all,

In case anyone is looking to make money online and hasn't come across affiliate marketing before here is a breakdown.

Affiliate marketing is when you promote other companies’ products in exchange for a commission. When someone buys through your affiliate link, you get the commission.

As an affiliate, you can decide to pick any product that you wish in any niche.

The best thing about affiliate marketing is that you can do it at scale. A typical salesperson only sells products from one company. As an affiliate marketer, however you can promote products from many different companies and earn commissions from all of them at the same time.

The process starts by the merchant giving each affiliate a unique link so they can track who was responsible for a sale. The link will usually look something like this:

When someone clicks that link, a small file called a cookie gets stored on their device.

An affiliate cookie does two things:
  1. It helps the merchant attribute the sale back to the right person;
  2. It (usually) holds an expiration date, so you get paid even if the buyer delays their purchase.
Here’s an example of how this works.

Imagine that a reader visits your post about the best football helmets. They click on one of your affiliate links, leading them to a product on Amazon.

But they realized they have to do something else and quickly turn of their computer. But later on in the week they finally go back to Amazon where they find the product again.

Since they’re already shopping on Amazon, they decide to purchase some gym gear and football helmets again.

Here’s the good news. Earlier, they clicked on your affiliate link and a cookie was stored on their device. Because Amazon has a 24-hour cookie duration, you get compensated for all of the purchases on amazon, even though you didn’t promote the gym gear.

Affiliate marketing can be a very lucrative business but it can take time and effort to learn how to effetely make sales.
