Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where you reward affiliates (partners) for driving traffic, leads, or sales to your business. It’s a win-win: affiliates earn commissions, and your brand gains exposure and revenue.

This guide explores how to set up, manage, and optimize an affiliate marketing program for your business.

What is Affiliate Marketing? 🌐

Affiliate marketing leverages a network of partners who promote your product or service to their audience. Each affiliate is given a unique tracking link to monitor performance, ensuring they’re compensated fairly for the sales or traffic they generate.

Why Choose Affiliate Marketing?

1️⃣ Low Risk: You only pay for actual results.

2️⃣ Scalable: Easily grow your affiliate network to reach new audiences.

3️⃣ Cost-Effective: Affiliates do the marketing for you, reducing your ad spend.
