If you are not yet familiar with this term, don't worry, we have prepared this post in which we explain what affiliate marketing is, its advantages, how to start, and some tips to get your affiliate career off to a good start.

Let's get started!

What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a type of marketing in which a person earns money by promoting physical or digital products of others.

This is a marketing (and business) modality that emerged in the 1990s thanks to Amazon, who at that time began to offer an affiliation service so that whoever wanted to advertise the products available in the store could do so and, in turn, receive a commission for each sale generated.

In short, we could say that affiliate marketing works as follows:

An affiliate promotes the product of an entrepreneur or company in exchange for a commission for each sale or action taken.

Pretty simple, right? This is a type of online business that has become very popular in recent years and has allowed people who have internet authority or persuasive skills to earn money working from home without investing a dime.

The best part of affiliate marketing is that it is a win-win business. Yes, both the affiliate and the producer can make great profits. The affiliate manages to make their blog, websites and social networks profitable, without having to create a product, while the producer manages to reach more customers and, of course, obtain greater economic benefits.
