What is Affiliate Marketing?
In simple terms, affiliate marketing is a type of online marketing in which one person or organization promotes the products or services of another and receives a fixed amount of commission for each successful sale.
For example, if someone joins Amazon, Daraz, or other e-commerce platforms as an affiliate, they get a specific tracking link. If you promote a product using this link and someone buys it, the affiliate marketer receives a commission.
