Depending on each creator's size, they will decide to either work directly with affiliate marketers or to work through an affiliate network.

Then one day, I came across an article that shared a revelation. YOU CAN MAKE MONEY BLOGGING! Say what?? I was hooked on the idea. I quickly jumped in and consumed everything I could about affiliate marketing.
Because it is very enlightening to see that even though they’re doing bad marketing, there still making money.
Check the rules of your affiliate programs – You need to check the rules of all of the specific affiliate programs you’re a part of. For example, the Etsy Affiliates Policy does not permit affiliates to post their links directly on Pinterest. Instead, Etsy Affiliates promote products in a blog post, and then link to that from their pins.
The Gravity score in Clickbank is an algorithmic number, meaning it’s a score that’s given to a product based on how many sales are made, how many affiliates are successfully promoting, and how many refunds the product owner is getting.
Another thing you should definitely check is backlink history and overall backlink profile. For that, create a project in SEO SpyGlass and enter your website. To give you an example of how it works, I've run a sample check on a website currently available for sale for $15,000. Incredibly, the website has over 800K backlinks, almost all of which are dofollow:
Doing this will make your audience way more defined, and give your marketing strategy the clarity it needs to succeed without a huge marketing budget. To do this, I suggest you use these free tools, Google’s Autocomplete feature as well as Keywords Everywhere.
Networks manage the technical part of merchants’ affiliate programs. They track purchases and make sure commissions are paid out correctly.
AvantLink also displays some of the most aggravating terms of some affiliate platforms like unclear traffic guidelines for what qualifies you for the platform. This can be a major headache, but it is often part of learning how to navigate the affiliate world in the beginning.
Once you have established – on your website, blog, or social media feed – that you know what you are talking about you can start making recommendations to your readers. The recommendations you make lead to sales for other companies and those companies, in turn, pay you a cut of their profits for the help you gave.
As a test, go to the Google search bar, type in your favorite product and then the word “affiliate” afterwards. Chances are, you’ll get a hit. (I was seriously blown away that there were so many products being promoted by so many people when I realised this!)
When you’re just starting out with email marketing, it’s best not to sell in the first few emails. That’s, quite simply, because people don’t yet know you or trust you – they have no reason to buy a product or service based on your recommendations. That’s why you start slow with the first couple of emails (sent in the first few days of them signing up for your list) so that you can establish rapport and build trust – then, with the upcoming emails, you’ll be able to start selling your affiliate links.
Writing blogs and creating content can be time-consuming, so you may be surprised to find out how many sites will entertain the idea of you providing content for them in exchange for a nice, solid, authority backlink.
How many businesses can you think of where you can turn a profit in your first month?
All you have to do is to add those links to your posts and advertise them to your readers. Whenever a convinced reader makes a purchase, you will also earn a part of that commission.
Even if the referral amount is only $10, I’m happy because I know that multiple $10 referrals can turn into $100 and multiple hundreds suddenly build up into $1,000 to 2,000 each month.
