However, it's important to note, there is a minimum sales target you need to reach to get paid — $300 per month (if you make less than that, your earnings will stay in your account until you reach that benchmark). If you feel your website, blog, or social channel is visited on a regular basis by prospects who might be interested in creating their own website on a hosting platform, this could be a good program for you, but if you're unsure if you can meet the mimimum sales target for a while, you might want to reconsider.
Suppose, you have a customer who went to Amazon, added a product to the cart, and left without checking out. Now he’s activated an option for 90-day completion. That means if he comes again within 90 days and completes the order, you will still receive the commission.

In other words, your readers are already buying things. They are already going to make a purchase whether or not you give them any advice.
It’s where the marketing happens. An affiliate promotes one or multiple affiliate products and tries to attract and convince potential customers of the value of the merchant’s product so that they actually end up buying it.
