What is Affiliate Marketing and How Does It Work?
Affiliate marketing has become one of the easiest ways to earn money online today. But what exactly does it mean, and how can you get started?
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a business model where you earn a commission for promoting another company’s products or services. Think of it as being a middleman—you don’t own the products, but you help connect buyers with sellers and get rewarded for each sale, lead, or action.
How It Works:
- Join a Program: Sign up with a company or platform offering an affiliate program; we have a thriving affiliate program at Tinka.
- Get a Link: You’ll receive a unique tracking link.
- Promote: Share the link with your audience through social media, blogs, or WhatsApp groups.
- Earn: Each time someone makes a purchase using your link, you earn a commission.
Why It Works So Well in Nigeria:
- Growing online shopping culture.

Affiliate marketing is simply turning your online influence into income.
