Affiliate marketing is a way for someone to make money by promoting someone else’s product. The affiliate is not the seller of the product, but they are paid a commission for every sale they make.
Affiliate marketing has been around since the beginning of the internet, but it wasn’t until recently that it became so popular. The increase in popularity can be attributed to a few things:
1) Affiliate marketing has become easier to do and less complicated than it was in previous years. 2) There are now more products available for people to promote than there were in previous years. 3) It is now possible to use social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram as avenues for promotion where before they weren’t an option.
