### Affiliate Overview <a href="#affiliate-overview" id="affiliate-overview"></a>

Within the realm of affiliate marketing, an affiliate refers to an individual who actively promotes a campaign by sharing their exclusive affiliate link with potential customers interested in your product or service. When a sale is successfully made through their efforts, the affiliate receives a commission as compensation. Simultaneously, you also benefit by earning a commission from the sale, creating a mutually advantageous partnership.
