The basics

What is affiliate marketing for creators?

Affiliate marketing lets creators earn a commission by promoting another company's products. On Afflio, you browse a marketplace of brand affiliate programs, join the ones that fit your audience, and receive a unique tracked link and promo code. When your followers buy through them, the sale is attributed to you and you earn a percentage — paid out automatically to PayPal or your bank. It turns the recommendations you already make into recurring income, with no inventory, invoicing, or upfront cost.

How do creators get paid on Afflio?

When someone buys through your tracked link or uses your promo code, Afflio attributes the sale to you and records the commission. Once the brand approves it, the money is paid directly to your PayPal account or, in India, your bank via RazorpayX and UPI. You never invoice a brand or chase a payment — approved earnings are paid on the brand's schedule and every commission is tracked so nothing slips through.

How much can creators earn with affiliate marketing?

Earnings depend on your audience size, engagement, and the brands you promote. Commissions on Afflio commonly range from 10% to 30%+ of each sale, and high-ticket or finance programs can pay $50–$200+ per referral. Recurring SaaS programs pay you every month a customer stays subscribed, so a modest number of referrals can compound into steady monthly income over time.
