What Is an Affiliate Marketing Network?

[zurirayden]

An affiliate marketing network is a platform that connects advertisers (also known as merchants) with affiliates (also known as publishers). The goal of this network is to simplify the process of affiliate marketing by offering infrastructure, tracking, reporting tools, and payment systems.
Affiliates promote products or services through their websites, social media, blogs, or email marketing and earn a commission for every sale, lead, or click generated through their unique affiliate links.
How It Works:

• Advertiser Joins the Network: Brands or businesses sign up on the network and create affiliate programs for their products.
• Affiliate Registers: Publishers or content creators sign up and choose the programs they want to promote.
• Promotions Begin: Affiliates are provided with banners, links, and creations to promote the product.
• Conversion Tracking: The network tracks clicks, leads, and sales through unique tracking links.
• Commissions Paid: Affiliates receive payments based on predefined commission structures.
