The consumer:
Of course, for the affiliate system to work, there needs to be sales â and the consumer or customer is the one who makes them happen.
The affiliate will market the product/service to consumers through the necessary channel(s), whether it be social media, a blog or a YouTube video, and if the consumer deems the product as valuable or beneficial to them, then they can follow the affiliate link and checkout on the merchant's website. If the customer does purchase the item, then the affiliate receives a portion of the revenue made.
However, keep in mind that the customer must be aware that you, the affiliate, are receiving a commission off the product.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, an affiliate marketer must clearly and conspicuously disclose their relationship to the retailer, thus allowing the consumer to decide how much weight to give your endorsement.
A disclaimer such as âThe products Iâm going to use in this video were given to me by Company Xâ gives your viewers the information they need and allows them to make an informed decision about whether or not to buy the affiliate product.
