When a company has a product or a service that they wish to sell they will often enlist 'affiliates' to do the job of finding customers for them. Once the affiliate has managed to get the customer to make an order his job ends. This is a tremendous arrangement for both sides. The distributor simply waits for orders to arrive and has no involvement in the marketing phase. The affiliate simply gets a customer, for example, to visit a web site and takes no further part.
Commission is paid to the affiliate on the value of orders made.
