What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate Marketing(アフフリエイト) is an internet-based affiliate marketing method. For companies/businesses, this is a way for them to promote their products or services through affiliated marketing service providers (ASPs).
Publisher(blogger, youtuber, PPC…) will be responsible for connecting and promoting products or services of affiliated service providers (ASPs). Both Publisher and ASP will receive commissions from this promotional method through successful traffic or sales.
Components in Affliate Marketing
For Affiliate Marketing strategy, there will be 4 main components as follows.
- Suppliers, advertising products: companies, businesses

3. Affiliator Affiliate Marketer
Affiliators are those who own websites, blogs or other types of media such as Youtube, Twitter, Instagram and post ADS associated with ASP on their media. If a customer purchases a product from a published ad and meets the operating conditions set by the advertiser, then the affiliator will receive a commission from ASP.
4. End User Customers
Customers who visit Affiliator's website, blog or media channel and use products and services (purchase products) through affiliate advertisements.
Unlike Google AdSense, customers must purchase products from ads that Affiliator has posted on their Media in order to insit commissions, not just click on affiliate ads.
