Thread: What does affiliate program mean ?

Hi all,

Can you please share with me the basic knowledge of affiliate program.Starting with the basic meaning of the word "affiliate"........

Waiting for reply.....

An affiliate is someone who promotes a product or service to potential customers, in exchange for a commission on the sale when one occurs.

Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts.

This is another way of promoting web business. Here an affiliate is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber, customer or sale offered coming thorough its way. It’s a present way of paying a finders fee for the new customer introduced to the business. Reward is made on the base of a certain rate for each visitor, registrant, or a percentage of commission for each customer or sale made or it can be any other combination.
