If they can trace a conversion to your podcast, they\u2019ll pay you some money.<\/p><p>A conversion is an action the brand wants your audience to take. That action is usually the purchase of a product but could also be subscribing to a newsletter, scheduling a demo, or adding an item to a shopping cart.<\/p><p>Affiliate links typically have a window of time where they\u2019re \u201cactive,\u201d called a cookie window. You\u2019ll only get commissions for conversions within this timeframe. The cookie window and the commission rate itself are among the main differentiators between different affiliate programs.<\/p><p>Many major brands have their own affiliate programs you can enroll in, like Amazon Associates. There are also affiliate networks, like Commission Junction, you can sign up for that help connect brands to content creators.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-41aa0fd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"41aa0fd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-36e10e6\" data-id=\"36e10e6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a14a4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a14a4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Affiliate Marketing and Podcasting\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-19137be elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"19137be\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7e48a4f\" data-id=\"7e48a4f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd4df26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd4df26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In most mediums, the affiliate link is on-screen and clickable without much effort on the audience\u2019s part.
