What affiliate marketing is
You publish useful information and refer a visitor through a measurable link. A valid purchase or action may generate commission.
Start with one audience
A coherent customer journey builds more trust than unrelated offers. Original guidance should explain use cases, limits and next steps.
Measure honestly
Track visits, clicks, approved sales, reversals and net commission. Clicks alone are not revenue.
Transparency belongs in the sale
Tell visitors in plain language when a marked link can generate commission without normally increasing their price.
Risks
- Providers can change terms or payout.
- Search traffic can decline.
- Incorrect financial claims can create legal risk.
- Ads and subscriptions can exceed collected revenue.
Build trust and distribution first. Commission follows only when visitors are genuinely helped.
