Guide to Affiliate Marketing

If you’re new to influencer marketing, chances are you may have heard some phrases you aren’t familiar with. Case in point—affiliate marketing. Don’t worry, affiliate marketing is easier than it sounds & lucky for you, we’re breaking it all down below. 

So, What Is Affiliate Marketing?  

To put it simply, affiliate marketing is a way to earn money by recommending products to your followers. Affiliate marketing requires a unique URL or trackable link that allows purchases to be associated with your account. When a purchase is made using your unique trackable link, you earn a referral fee— a percentage of the item’s price—on anything that’s purchased.  

How to Get Started 

We’ve built our affiliate program with Creators at the core. As a Walmart Creator, you can quickly & easily build trackable links of your favorite products using our browser plugin. Once your custom link has been created, simply share the link with your followers. Any purchases made using your link will result in a referral fee. Each product offers a different referral fee, but all are percentages of the product price. You can easily search high-earning products by their percentage in the Walmart Creator dashboard, making it easy to earn money by sharing what you love with your followers.
