What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based model where you earn a commission for referring customers to another company's products or services, typically through a tracked link. Unlike network marketing, it usually does not involve buying inventory or building a team. Affiliate company listings are coming soon to HomeBizCentral.

How does affiliate marketing work?

You promote a company's products using a unique referral link, and when someone buys through that link you earn a commission. There is often no inventory or starter kit involved, which makes it a lower-overhead model for some people. Earnings depend on your effort and audience and are never guaranteed.

How is affiliate marketing different from network marketing?

Affiliate marketing pays you for referring customers, usually without inventory or a team, while network marketing typically involves selling products you may purchase and building a distributor team. Both are home business models with different structures and costs. Compare the direct selling models currently listed using the Opportunity Search Engine.
