Let me start with a definition:

Affiliate MARKETING is a business model where you (the affiliate) make money by bringing two parties together: The buyer and the seller,and you get a commission from each transaction.

Now, there are various affiliate MARKETING models too.

The most popular ones are:

• Cost per action

• Cost per lead

• Revenue share

• Cost per sale



To make things simpler, we will be talking about the Cost Per Sale model where you get paid a commission per product sale.The product can be an app, an online course, a book or even a physical product like a wristwatch

I usually promote digital products because the commission per sale is usually on the high side.

E.g. A seller (Mr Edo) wants to sell his excellent online course on "How to Publish a Book" priced at N70,000

He could offer as much as 50% (N35,000) commission per sale to anyone who gets him sales.

So, you PROMOTE his online course to people who are interested in book publishing. Some of these people buy Mr. Edo's online course through your recommendations. And you get paid N35,000 per sale (The commissions could be as much as 75% depending on various product owners).

I hope that is simple enough. Right?
