What Is an Affiliate? Affiliate is used primarily to describe a business relationship wherein one company owns less than a majority stake in the other company’s stock. Affiliations can also describe a type of relationship in which at least two different companies are subsidiaries of the same larger parent company.

Similarly, a person becomes an affiliate marketer when he has no product to sell and no money to invest in raw materials and manufacturing of any product that they can sell, so what they do is they promote the business of others, and for every article sold, they get a share from the profit earned by the business owner. The commission they earn is always predetermined for each product. They can sell as many products to as many sellers as they like provided the sellers are not competitors of each other. Nobody would want to do a business with an affiliate marketer who sells their opponent’s products.
