Affiliate marketing is when you buy people’s attention (ads) cheaply and then sell it at a higher price, directing that traffic to someone else’s product or service and getting paid for each desired action — app installs, sign-ups, or purchases.

An affiliate marketer isn’t your typical office marketer with coffee and KPIs. They run a small business at their own risk:

• Your money, your risk: Spend it wrong, it’s on you.
• No boss, no schedule: Work around the clock if you want, or chill on a beach in Mexico.
• Unlimited income: Make $200 over a weekend or $50,000 in a year if you know what you’re doing.

How it works:

1. Find an offer from an advertiser: “We’ll pay $10 per registration” or “3% of a purchase.”
2. Get a unique tracking link for your sales.
3. Set up ads, test creatives, and drive traffic to the offer.
4. The difference between what you spent and what you earned is your profit.

Key points:

• You can start with a small budget, but losing it is very real.
• Beginners often burn money thinking “ads are easy.”
• Pros count every click and scale when they find a winning setup.
