As you intermediate for companies, your responsibility is to provide quality reviews. When purchases are made by customers, using your affiliate link or ad, you will get a notice from the company and are paid the agreed commission.
How much commission will companies pay?
That’s is very variable. It can vary from 2% until over 50%, depends on the niche you are representing.

Hard to make a prognosis. Many factors are at stake. How much time do you spend on your website? Which niche are you promoting? What percentage commission does the company pay you? Is there a payout level? Promoting holiday resorts and Rolex Watches will likely get more responses in Rotary Club advertising media than they will get responded to on Facebook. It depends on a lot of factors. You can ask for advice at The Wealthy Affiliate community anytime.
