According to Wiki

Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts.

Translated In English by Anish

Affiliate Marketing is the process of promoting the products of other businesses which we are confident enough and influencing the people to make them buy your product.

Wiki tells that Affiliate Marketing involves 4 parties; like Merchant, Network, Publisher & Customer, ; and other networks say that it has 3 parties.

Let me explain all the 4 parties for you:

Merchant

The business owner or seller who manufactures or develops the product & is interested in sharing revenue through affiliate marketing.

Affiliate

An individual who publishes the content or even the companies ranging with different topics and use the affiliate links to sell the goods which suits their content or niche topic.

Customer

Now everything turns around when it comes to sales, where customer purchases the product from Affiliate, if it is useful for him / her.

So, now you will be able to see earnings as commissions by the company which you have sold their product as an affiliate.

You will not be paid anything if you do not work hard.

When customers purchase the product they are not charged extra as the affiliate marketing commission is already included in the selling product.

Affiliates Network

Some companies do not run the affiliate programme on their websites rather they use the other marketplace platforms like Clickbank, Shareasale to run their affiliate programme.

Marketplace makes it more easier for companies to handle with affiliates.

From sending the payments to answering the queries and handling the stats of every affiliate.

Sometimes affiliate needs to just go through the complete process of Affiliate network or marketplace to even get the affiliate links to sell the product.

So if you want to get started with selling the products like books, stationery, ebooks etc; Amazon is the best affiliate program.
