Affiliate Marketing
Lynnaider’s definition: Promoting other companies’ products or services in pursuit of a commission. You earn a percentage of sales which result directly from your referral.
You hold no stock, ship nothing and handle no customer service: the brand does all of that. In exchange, your work is content. You build trust in a niche you care about and recommend, now and then, the products you truly use.
