Influencer Affiliate Marketing
They get a cut of sales through a unique link or code, instead of — or on top of — a flat fee. Beauty made this the default; everyone else is copying it.
Pure affiliate shifts risk to the creator: no sale, no pay. That underpays the shoot on a first deal. The grown-up structure is a smaller content fee plus 10–20% (or a flat dollar) on a code that exists only for them. Shared dump codes (“SUMMER20” for the whole roster) make measurement fake.
Affiliate is still a material connection. Disclose it. A unique path is also how you decide who gets the ambassador seat next quarter.
