Affiliate marketing — Earning a commission by driving sales through your unique links.

Affiliate marketing means promoting a product with a tracked link and earning a cut of any sales it generates. Faceless review, listicle and ‘best of’ videos are a natural fit — the value is the information, not a presenter.

Because you earn per sale, volume helps: more faceless videos targeting buying-intent searches means more chances to convert.

Key points
