How does affiliate marketing work?

 for every product, you wish to promote you will get a simple link from the platform you join. that link is called “affiliate link” which is created only  for you

When someone clicks that link, a little file called a cookie gets stored on their device.
An affiliate cookie does two things:
1) It helps the merchant attribute the sale back to the right person;
2) It (usually) holds an expiration date, so you get paid albeit the customer delays their purchase.
Here’s an example of how this works.
Imagine that a reader visits your post about the simplest winter jackets. They click on one of your affiliate links, leading them to a product on Amazon.
But they realized they have to go out for some urgent work, so they leave your site or page and go out and they come in at night and start scrolling their amazon feed and buy a pair of shoes.

Now here is a piece of interesting good news for you earlier when they are searching for jackets they click on your affiliate link and land on the amazon app/site but now they are buying a pair of shoes. when they click on your link a cookie is stored in their device.

Amazon features a 24-hour cookie duration, you get compensated for both the winter jacket and pair of shoes though you didn’t promote the latter.
How amazing it is you will get a commission for each product they buy in 24hr until your cookie digs up!
