What is Affiliate Marketing? (Affiliate Marketing)
Affiliate Marketing is a method of marketing in which a person promotes or recommends the products of another company or organization through one of his sources, such as a blog or website.

How does Affiliate Marketing work?
The company or organization that wants to promote its products offers its own Affiliate Program. Now when any other person like a blog or website owner joins that program, then the company or organization gives him a banner or link etc. to promote their products on his blog or website.
