What Is Affiliate Marketing?
In simple terms:
- You promote someone else’s product or service.
- You get a special tracking link (your affiliate link).
- When someone clicks your link and buys (or signs up) — you earn a commission.
No inventory, no customer support — just recommend, link, earn.

How Much Can You Earn?
It depends on:
Traffic — 1,000 visitors vs. 100,000 makes a huge difference. Commission rate — physical products = 2–5% (Amazon); digital = 20–50% (ClickBank). Conversion — quality, trust, and relevance.
Many beginners make $50–$200/month. Top affiliate marketers make thousands every month — if they have an engaged audience.
