Affiliate marketing has four components-

  1. Merchant

  4. Customer 

1. Merchant

It means who created the product or services and he wants to sell over to the internet. It can be a manufacturer or a businessman also.

2. Network

In Affiliate marketing, many network systems work as a middleman between the Merchant & Affiliate. Many Affiliate Networks Programs are connected with Affiliates who joined the Program and in every sale which is done by the Affiliates, they will also get a commission along with the affiliate.

3. Affiliate

The party is sometimes known as the publisher. They promote the product/service of the merchant through their websites/blogs or on social media platforms. They earn different commissions against every sale based on the product. They can earn dollars from every sale. An affiliate can be a single person or a team under one person. This is how the affiliate chain is developed.  

4. Consumer

Consumers are the final people who buy the products. The consumer is buying a product from a specific affiliate link that is connected with the Affiliate, from only that Affiliate link the affiliate or publisher will get a commission.
