Affiliate marketing in Kenya
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based online marketing strategy where individuals or businesses (affiliates) promote products or services on behalf of another company (the merchant or advertiser) and earn a commission for every sale or lead generated through their promotional efforts. Affiliates use various digital channels, such as websites, social media, blogs, or email marketing, to share unique affiliate links or codes that track the traffic and conversions they generate.
How Affiliate Marketing Works:
- Join an Affiliate Program: Affiliates sign up for a merchant’s affiliate program, where they are provided with a unique tracking link or code.
- Promote Products/Services: Affiliates use content, ads, or other marketing strategies to share the product or service with their audience. This can be done via a blog, social media, YouTube, or other platforms.
- Earn Commissions: When someone clicks on the affiliate’s unique link and makes a purchase (or completes a desired action like signing up for a newsletter), the affiliate earns a commission, usually a percentage of the sale.
Key Components of Affiliate Marketing:
- Merchant: The business offering the product or service (e.g., Web Register).
- Affiliate: The marketer promoting the merchant’s products to earn a commission.
- Consumer: The person who clicks on the affiliate link and makes a purchase or completes an action.
- Affiliate Network (optional): A third-party platform that connects merchants with affiliates, manages tracking, and handles payments.
Benefits of Affiliate Marketing:
- Low Risk: Affiliates only get paid when they make a sale or lead, reducing risks for businesses.
- Flexibility: Affiliates can work from anywhere, set their schedules, and choose what products or services to promote.
- Potential for Passive Income: Once the content is created and affiliate links are placed, affiliates can continue earning from old content as long as it generates traffic and sales.
Affiliate marketing is a popular choice for both businesses looking to increase sales and individuals aiming to earn money online.
