## Why: the goal or problem

Useful recommendations send buyers elsewhere. You want qualifying referrals to support the work without selling the product yourself.

## How: work toward a solution

A fictional reading service labels a referral link to a bookshop. A reader buys there; the shop pays the publisher a commission if its conditions are met. Amazon Associates provides one contractual example, not universal rates or rules. The diagram excludes settlement timing, fees and refunds.

## What: the concept

**Affiliate commissions** — Affiliate revenue rewards qualifying referrals to another seller. A click alone does not necessarily qualify, and eligibility follows the particular program agreement.

Keep editorial judgment visible; combine with reader payments without treating referrals as guaranteed income.
