Think about the last time you bought something online. Maybe your
favorite influencer shared a product that caught your eye. Perhaps
you already knew what you wanted to buy, but there were so many
options that you needed help from a trusted review site. Or maybe
you simply love combing coupon sites for hot deals. However you
finally made your purchase, chances are you interacted with
affiliate publishers along the way-whether they influenced you,
provided helpful information, or made sure you got the best price.

with these publishers to create valuable resources frequently used
by shoppers such as yourself.Job DescriptionResponsibilities
