what is affiliate marketing ?

Hi Priya, An affiliate marketing business is about promoting (or recommending)someone else's product(s) and earning commission on sales. The person/company, to whom the product(s) belong to is called "the merchant" and "an affiliate" is the one who promotes the product(s). The process involved in recommending, selling the product(s), tracking the sales and paying/getting paid is called "Affiliate Marketing"

I am a technical person i dont know anything about marketing.
