- When an interested customer buys a product through your link you get a commission.
Sometimes
most product Businesses run their affiliate program on their own website with
no need for a third-party affiliate platform.
Why you should Begin Affiliating?

is a type of Affiliate Marketing where you get customers in from a particular
location to perform some set of actions. These actions are called leads.

is a type of CPA whereby a publisher blocks access to a particular content
while asking his site users to perform an action before they can gain access to
the restricted content.
Actions could be to watch a short video, email submit
or download an app. For each customer that performs any of these actions, the
publisher gets about $1.2 to $ 50.
