Affiliate Marketing 

The use of Affiliate Marketing is that you can both advertise and earn income by simple helping other product makers out by advertising their product. 

For an Example we’ll use a game. The developers are in production of their game and have used every marketing trick under the sun to get as much attention to it as possible. But they know of another development team working on their own game, and so this is an opportunity to do the last marketing technic at your disposal, Affiliate Marketing. (It does not have to be the same type of product; it can be anything) 

By simply advertising or linking another team's product, you can ask them to do the same, and thus you help each other out by affiliation. If both parties are doing everything, they can grab the attention of consumers, then by doing this you can attract each other's audiences to your own product.
