Illustrative — actual earnings vary by audience and brand.

How food & cooking affiliate earnings are calculated: impressions times click-through rate gives clicks, clicks times conversion rate gives sales, sales times average order value gives referred revenue, and referred revenue times the commission rate gives gross commission. Food & cooking programs commonly pay 8–25% per sale; meal-kit programs pay per signup, and food creators reach audiences mainly on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest. Every figure in the diagram is a worked illustration, not a measured result.
Earnings per click — gross commission divided by clicks — is the one number that compares two food programs honestly, because it folds the rate, the order value and the conversion rate together.

How food creators make money with affiliate marketing

Amazon-only links that pay pennies, when brands would pay you far more directly. Afflio fixes that: join food & cooking brand programs from one marketplace, get a tracked link and promo code for each, and every sale you drive is attributed and paid automatically. You promote on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest the way you already do — Afflio handles the tracking and the payout.
