The basics

What it is and how it works

Apply, get approved, create tracking links/storefronts, share on content (TikTok bio site, blog, YouTube). Earn a category-based percentage of qualifying purchases.

Where the money comes from

How the model works

  1. Companies reward new customers
  2. You share your personal link
  3. You both earn a bonus when it's used

Honest numbers

What you could realistically earn

Commission rates vary by product category and change over time (check Associates central). Earnings scale with traffic and conversion — beginners often make little until content volume grows.

Illustrative only, using the published range for Amazon Associates UK (£0–£500 a month). The yearly view simply multiplies by 12. It is not a forecast: real results vary and many people earn less.
