What exactly is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business aka merchant (with products or services) in a affiliate marketing network or have their own affiliate marketing program rewards the affiliate (Devine Jamz Gospel Network) with a sales percentage for driving customers to the business website to purchase services and/or products. The business/merchant with the services and/or product only pays a percentage to the affiliate when the affiliate sells the product or service for the business. Together a strategic partnership is formed between the business, affiliate marketing network (unless the business have their own affiliate marketing program), and the affiliate.
