Making money through affiliate marketing might seem complex, but with the right approach and system in place, it can become a reliable source of income.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about getting started with affiliate marketing, from choosing your niche to creating content that converts.

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is simple.

You promote products and earn a commission when someone makes a purchase through your unique link.

Let’s use Amazon as an example. When you become an Amazon affiliate, you get a special link for any product. When someone clicks that link and makes a purchase within 24 hours, you earn a commission.

While Amazon’s commission rates are relatively low (around 4%), many companies offer much higher rates, especially for digital products.

Some programs and services even offer up to 50% commission, and better yet, some will pay you for all future purchases that customer makes.
