How does affiliate marketing work? 


 Affiliate marketing is a way to earn money by promoting someone else’s product or service. You earn a commission every time someone makes a purchase (or takes another desired action) through your unique affiliate link.


Here’s how it works, step-by-step:






🔗 

1. Join an Affiliate Program



You sign up for a company’s affiliate program — like Amazon Associates, ShareASale, or ClickBank. Once accepted, you get unique tracking links for their products or services.





🛍️ 

2. Promote the Products



You share those affiliate links on your:


  • Blog or website
  • YouTube channel
  • Pinterest pins
  • Facebook/Instagram/TikTok
  • Email newsletter



You can do this through:


  • Product reviews
  • How-to guides
  • Top 10 lists
  • Gift guides
  • Recommendations in posts or videos






💵 

3. Earn Commissions



When someone clicks your affiliate link and makes a purchase, you earn a commission. The percentage depends on the program — Amazon pays around 1-10% depending on the category, while others (like software or courses) may pay 30–50% or more.





Example:



Let’s say you post a pin on Pinterest about “Top 5 Pool Toys” and use Amazon affiliate links. When someone clicks the pin, goes to Amazon, and buys a toy (or anything else during their visit), you get paid a percentage of the sale.





✅ Benefits of Affiliate Marketing



  • Low startup costs (often free to join)
  • No inventory or customer service needed
  • Can be fully passive income
  • Can scale over time with traffic growth
