    Affiliate Summit and I've got a question
    00:06
    today from I guess an affiliate I'm not
    00:08
    sure they say what is the meaning of an
    00:11
    affiliate and so basically an affiliate
    00:14
    is somebody who sells products and
    00:16
    services for other companies online for
    00:19
    a commission whether it be a percentage
    00:21
    of a sale or a flat fee and so an
    00:24
    example is somebody who maybe is a big
    00:27
    fan of the New York Yankees and they
    00:28
    create a fan site for the Yankees and
    00:31
    they there may be some blog posts they
    00:33
    just recaps of games different things
    00:35
    they share their pictures and within
    00:38
    that they also maybe have a link to
    00:39
    fanatics comm where you can buy it say
    00:43
    like a Jersey for one of the stars in
    00:45
    the team or you can buy a ball cap
    00:48
    different products and things that are
    00:50
    related to the team some may be
    00:51
    throwback jerseys from some of the
    00:53
    legends on there like Jeter or Mickey
    00:56
    Mantle Joe DiMaggio just a variety of
    00:58
    things so they they just stop and have
    01:01
    some kind of themed site that plays into
    01:04
    like whatever topic they want to cover
    01:06
    and they just have relevant products and
    01:09
    services that are available to people to
    01:10
    buy and so it's really that simple
    01:13
    it's sort of um dates back to people
    01:15
    that I guess have over of a certain age
    01:16
    look like me it's just Commission based
    01:19
    selling that when I was a kid did be
    01:21

    selling Tupperware door-to-door and they
    01:24
    get a piece of the action for each I
    01:26
    guess said our piece of Tupperware
    01:28

    01:30
    thing just pushed online where you're
    01:32
    just getting you're promoting something
    01:34
    you're getting a piece of the action for
    01:36
    it and it's really that simple and there
    01:39
    there are dumb a few different players
    01:41
    they are the in that the whole ecosystem
    01:43
    so there's the affiliate also known as a
    01:45
    publisher and then they they work with a
    01:47
    merchant or also sometimes known as an
    01:49
    advertiser that's a company like
    01:51
    fanatics calm or Amazon and then also
    01:54
    there are the affiliate networks and
    01:56

    01:58
    tracking and things and so you you sign

    02:02
    then you're able to apply to the various
    02:04
    merchants or advertisers to promote
    02:06
    their products you get some code from
    02:08
    them and you put that on your blog or
    02:11
    your affiliate newsletter
    02:12
    or whatever it is you're using to
    02:14
