Affiliate Marketing for Beginners


You may be wondering what the process is if you are just starting out with affiliate marketing. Let's take a look at the process.

  1. An affiliate marketing aspirant finds a program that interests him. After examining the products that they will be selling, commissions offered, and payment structure, the aspiring affiliate marketer signs up and waits for approval confirmation.

  2. Once accepted, partners will receive customized affiliate links for various products. The links are unique to each marketer. This allows the business to track which customers purchased a product from which promotion.

  3. Marketers use different channels to market products to customers. The marketer may include an affiliate hyperlink in their blog, podcast description or social media, along with a video that explains the product's benefits. The marketer must inform the audience they are promoting a particular brand through an affiliate link.

  4. The consumer clicks on the link and purchases from the website. The affiliate link includes a tracking ID so that the merchant can track when a marketer referred them a customer.

  5. Affiliates can withdraw funds after earning enough commissions. The business can offer money or a different reward such as vouchers, depending on the affiliate model.


This is the most common type of affiliate program. Amazon, Etsy and the eBay Partner Network are all common affiliate sites.

Brands can also directly approach content creators to become affiliate marketers. Usually, a higher commission is attached. It is common for brands to create affiliate partnerships with popular websites and influencers.
