Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where businesses reward affiliates (publishers or influencers) for driving traffic or sales to their products or services through the affiliate's marketing efforts. It involves tracking referrals via unique links or codes, with affiliates earning commissions on successful conversions. This model is widely used in e-commerce, digital products, and online services to expand reach and drive revenue.
Developers should learn affiliate marketing to monetize their technical content, such as blogs, tutorials, or open-source projects, by promoting relevant tools or services. It's useful for generating passive income, building partnerships with tech companies, and understanding digital marketing metrics for product launches or side projects. For example, a developer creating a web development tutorial might include affiliate links to hosting services or coding courses.
