22SPI’s Epic Guide to Affiliate Marketing

111Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting another company's product (or service). You find a product, promote it to others, and earn a piece of the profit for each sale that you make.

In other words, when you help another company generate sales, you get a cut!

The best part is that you don’t have to spend the time and money to create your own products, because someone else has already done the hard work. You can begin making money as an affiliate as soon as you have a place to recommend products, whether that's a website you have, a podcast, or even on social media.

So, all you have to do is send traffic through a link to that product, and everything after that is out of your hands . . . right?
