How Do You Earn Commissions and Get Paid?

One of the most exciting parts of affiliate marketing is this:
πŸ’° You can earn commissions by helping others find great products.

So how does it work?

πŸ‘‰ You sign up to affiliate programs (like Amazon, Wealthy Affiliate, or others related to your niche).
πŸ‘‰ They give you a special affiliate link that’s unique to you.
πŸ‘‰ You promote those links on your website, blog, or social media.
πŸ‘‰ When someone clicks your link and buys, you earn a commission!

That’s it!

How Do You Get Paid?

Most companies will send your commissions through:

  • PayPal
  • Payoneer
  • Direct bank deposit
  • Check (in some cases)
  • Others

Each affiliate program has its own payment rules, like a minimum payout amount (e.g., $50 or $100). Some pay monthly, some weekly.

When Do You Start Earning?

Once you have helpful content, some traffic, and people start clicking and buying through your links, you’ll start seeing commissions come in. It may take a few weeks or months, depending on how consistent you are.

Final Encouragement

You don’t need to be a tech expert to earn. You just need to help others find what they’re looking for. Focus on being helpful, and the commissions will follow.

Hi, Current!
I'm a little confused with you question. Could you rephrase it?
Links can be added to any pages of the website.

The only commission I have made so far is with Benable. MAC.

Well done, Mac!
As long as you saw your first sale that means the process and strategies you've learned and applied works. Keep it up. More sales are coming your way.
