what is affiliate and how it works ?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where you (the affiliate) earn a commission for promoting another company's products or services. Here's a breakdown of how it works:

• The Merchant: This is the company that creates the product or service you'll be promoting. They have an affiliate program that allows others to earn money by referring customers.
• The Affiliate: This is you! You'll find and join affiliate programs that align with your interests and audience. You'll then promote the merchant's products through your website, social media, blog, or other channels.
• The Customer: This is the person who ends up buying the product or service you promoted.
