Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a program wherein third-party individuals or websites (affiliates) generate traffic or leads to a particular product, company or service. These affiliates then get revenue from leads or sales generated by their efforts.
This is common in influencer marketing, for instance, where an image or video will link to certain products, and the influencer will receive a small portion of any sales made from the link they provide. Certain industries will have opt-in programs as well, such as photography sites that provide affiliate links to the gear they use in exchange for revenue from the companies who benefit.
