Affiliate
A person or business that promotes someone else’s product or service and earns money when people take action through their recommendation.
Affiliates don’t create the product — they focus on marketing it. Their main job is to bring attention and trust. The better they are at influencing decisions, the more they earn.
This role has exploded with social media, where anyone with an audience can become an affiliate.
An affiliate is like a movie critic who gets paid when people actually go watch the movie they recommended.
Real world: A YouTuber reviews a tech gadget and shares a link — when viewers buy, the YouTuber earns a commission.
💡 An affiliate is someone who earns by recommending and influencing purchases.
