What the duck! Is that even if people don’t buy something?

that’s my understanding, that’s why these influencers just post the links and don’t sat where things are from as I think they get something even if you don’t buy…..so even if you don’t buy through their link they get something out of you having to click it to find out! I’ve started Google glasssing thing if I’m interested to try and find things that way I can normally find the item without clicking the link!
 
Yes it’s literally pay per click, you don’t have to buy anything and it doesn’t cost the customer (you) anything but it’s basically like ad revenue for the brands, that they then pay to the influencer. 3p is not a lot but clearly it adds up when you have a large following. Some are even 10p per click so if that was the case for all 125,000 clicks, she’d be cashing in £12,500 … 😳

ok I am never clicking these links again!! I thought I was good as long as I didn’t buy through them but I’ve inadvertently been causing them to get paid … no more!

Also clicking on a link then means there are cookies on your browser (and the influencer can then receive commission on anything you buy from that website, not just the item they linked). So it's worthwhile regularly clearing the cookies.

That’s why they love an Amazon haul, maybe John Lewis, M&S, Boots etc. Places people shop regularly for bits and pieces or large purchases. If you click their link and don’t buy but within the month go back to John Lewis to buy a washing machine then M&S for some pants, Amazon for some pronter paper and Boots for tampax say, they’ll get paid commission on all of it.

I’m fairly certain that’s not true. If you return to the site within a certain time frame then yes they’ll get commission on it. They don’t get commission on other random websites, they are not connected. They can only get commission on the websites the cookies are from when you initially clicked the link.

No I think they’re just saying for example if clicked a John Lewis, M&S and boots link they still get commission if you buy within a month, not that they’re all linked x
 
It is crazy how much we underestimate the amount of money these influencers make, especially with a large following. I don't know anyone in real life to ask to (all my family/friends have real jobs lol) but there are plenty of videos about it. There was a guy can't remember his name that said the average for a 1M followers influencer was 100k a month

Yes that’s what I meant x
It’d be no good if she just did obscure brands so over the course of the month she puts links in across tons of websites, particularly ones with a vast range to try to pick up more commission sales.
I suspect we’ll see more make-up links for cult beauty, look fantastic, space NK etc (when she could’ve just used the one retailer) so she can clean up on high value advent calendar purchases.

Why does she show M and not A? Only noticed it recently, not sure if it’s been mentioned before?

I think A asked not to be? Could be wrong though.
