Marketing: The Complete Guide
Earning commissions by recommending other companies' products through trackable links. Affiliate Marketing is a revenue model where a publisher promotes a product using a unique tracking link and earns a commission when a referred visitor buys, signs up, or completes a defined action. This guide pulls together everything on Onexial tagged marketing — 8 connected nodes across definitions, workflows, tool stacks, comparisons, prompts and applied use cases — and orders it the way you would actually learn it: vocabulary first, then process, then tooling, then execution. Every item below links to a full node with its own examples and connections, so you can go as deep as you need without losing the map.
Core concepts behind Marketing
Before wiring anything together, the vocabulary has to be precise. These 1 definitions cover the terms that show up in almost every Marketing discussion — each one links to a full entry with an example and its own connections inside the graph.
Workflows: how Marketing runs end to end
Concepts only matter once they become a repeatable process. Below are 2 documented workflows that apply Marketing to a concrete problem, with the steps, the tools involved and the variations worth testing.
Product Changelog → Marketing Assets
Every merged PR that ships a feature auto-generates a changelog entry, tweet, and email blurb.
