How do affiliate networks make money? 

Fees charged to merchants, often known as advertisers, are how affiliate networks make money. These fees are normally negotiated upon with each advertiser and paid as a proportion of each sale made.

In affiliate marketing, affiliates typically earn money by receiving a commission from merchants. If a third party is involved, they will receive a commission from the sale/action driven by their advertisement as well. They also profit on technical setups, initial sign-ups, monthly payments, and other services. Since a result, before signing up for an affiliate marketing network platform, it's critical to think about all of the costs, as it may have both benefits and drawbacks.
