What is Affiliate program?

A partnership program where third-party promoters earn commissions on sales they refer — common in creator economy at 20-50% rates.

The longer answer.

An affiliate program lets creators recruit promoters (other creators, influencers, customers) to refer buyers in exchange for commissions. Industry-typical commissions: 20-30% of revenue for digital products, 30-50% for high-margin courses. Kavieo's affiliate program handles tracking, attribution, and commission settlement automatically. Affiliate revenue is high-leverage — a single affiliate with the right audience can generate 5-10× a creator's organic sales for that product.
