You can use ShareASale to run affiliate marketing programs where merchants list their products and publishers promote them for a commission. It acts as an affiliate network connecting brands with bloggers, influencers, and website owners. Merchants can set commission rates and track referral sales, while affiliates can browse available programs and generate tracking links. The network handles payment processing between merchants and affiliates and provides reporting on clicks, conversions, and earnings.
