How does Affiliate marketing works

Step-1: You join an affiliate network.

Step-2: You pick up an offer to promote. It could be any online product or service. It can be referring people to fill a form on a dating website (like shaadi.com), or recommending them an online store to buy t-shirts from. There are thousands of such offers to promote across the globe.

Step-3: Once you choose an offer to promote, you’ll be provided with your own unique link to that offer. You’ll use this link to promote the selected offer.

Step-4: When anyone visits the offer through your unique link and completes the desired action (like filling a form or buying something), you’ll be paid a commission.

Step 5 :The advertiser finds an affiliate cookie that belongs to you and credits you for the sale.

Step 6:The advertiser updates the reports to shows all the clicks (traffic) and sales generated from your affiliate link.

Step-7: Your commissions will keep accumulating in the affiliate network you have joined. You’ll get paid from the affiliate networks on a weekly or monthly basis.
