Affiliate marketing is the act of promotion (referral) of another business’s product or service.

Affiliate marketers will provide a medium over which to market the goods to their viewers and refer sales over to a business.

Affiliate marketers will usually setup a blog or website that caters to a specific niche. They will join Commission Junction, LinkShare, Clickbank, etc. and select products/services to promote that mesh well with the niche that they have built the website or blog for.

Each time someone visits the affiliate’s website and clicks on a link or banner that refers them to a business’s website and that person purchases the product or service, the affiliate marketer will gain a commission from that sale.

Well in simple term, affiliate marketing = sales rep in your offices. They get paid by a % of the product sales when a sales is made but this will be the offline world.

In online world, it is affiliate marketing.

And you can actually use some computer software to track the sales progress and how much you have to pay to that person.

But in offline you can still track but do it manually via spreadsheet and paperworks
