What is Affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing means recommending a product with your own tracked link and earning a share of every sale that comes through that link, without making or delivering the product yourself.

The seller pays the affiliate only when a sale happens, so it is a low-risk way to start earning from an audience, even a small one.

How it works:

  • you get a personal link (or a coupon code) for a product
  • you share it in posts, videos, WhatsApp groups or your blog
  • when someone buys through it, the sale is tracked to you and your share is paid out

On CareerByteCode you can resell courses, exams and creator products from your own ByteStore, and see the live shares on the affiliate and reseller earnings calculator.
