How to Create an Affiliate Account on Amazon & Flipkart (Step-by-Step Guide)

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is simple: you recommend products → someone buys through your link → you earn a commission. No inventory, no shipping, no customer service.

As a creator, you already influence purchasing decisions. Affiliate links let you monetize that influence.
