yes – the link can be on your site or anywhere else e.g. paid ads, banners, forum signatures (just don’t spam them), printed somewhere, etc.

I’ll probably make another video explaining it in under 2 minutes. would that help?

In the long run yes you should have your own site where you add value to the product being recommended. e.g. a thorough review site or offering some other product as a bonus. But many affiliates send traffic to merchants other ways e.g. with paid ads or email marketing etc.

i kind of understand now. but explaining it under or at 2 min doesn’t seem enough.

i need to know if a customer purchased an item from your affiliate link and you want to retrieve the commision amount from your paypal account. how would the process work will they send you a check in mail? will the money be sent to your bank account? and do you need a bank account to retrieve money from a sale you made through paypal?

The merchant who has the affiliate program will pay you in different ways. Some are check, some paypal, some both. Read the merchant affiliate program description for details. It might be 30 days or more before you are paid and there also could be a threshold before they pay you (e.g. min $100 or min 2 sales etc.) If you want to retrieve money from paypal you need to hook it up to a bank account and some countries are supported differently due to national banking systems and practices etc.
