But what exactly is affiliate marketing? If you want know more about how it all works, this guide is for you!
What is affiliate marketing?
Simply put, affiliate marketing is a sponsorship deal between stores (like us!) and social media influencers (like you!). Earn money by posting about the UrbiPod and pointing people towards our store. We'll provide you with a pack of marketing material, including a personalised link: for every sale made through your link, you'll be earning a full 15% commission! For instance, if one of your followers buys an UrbiPod through your link, you'll instantly earn $37 from that sale.
Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn money on the side, as it requires very little time or know-how to get started.
What are the benefits of affiliate marketing?
1. You don't need your own product to start selling online
2. There is no need for a customer service department
3. The product owner looks after any refunds or service requests
4. No money is required to get started
5. Easily earn passive income
6. Set your own hours
7. Be your own boss!
Are There Any Rules?
When promoting a sponsored product, there are just a few guidelines that an affiliate has to follow:
1. you must disclose affiliate links to readers
2. You need to disclose when you get money for doing something
3. If you have a website, you must include a disclosure statement there too
An example of a disclosure statement may look like this:
"Disclosure: some links on this website could be affiliate links through I will be paid a commission if you make a purchase"
