Basically in terms that you can understand. Affiliate marketing is when you sign up for a websites affiliate program and you get paid a comission for sales or traffic you generate for a particular site.
For example:
Lets say you want to make money by referring people to the Walmart. You go to Walmart's website and scroll down and look for a link that says Affiliates. Almost every site that sells something has an affiliate program. Click on the affiliates link and read up on how their particular program works and their pay structure.
Once you join the affiliate program, you get your referral link and or banners (whatever the program provides) and promote that link.
How do you promote that link you may ask??? Well you can place ads for it on places like backpage or craigslist. Or any place that lets you place ur banners and or links. You can also create you're own website and promote that. It all depends on what works for you.
So, look around the net and see which programs you would like to join.. Ebay has a good affilate program as well. Visit the sites and look for the affiliate link which is normally located at the very top or at the very bottom of the webpage.
In other threads I will post places where you can just join a marketplace and pick and choose what you want to promote. An affiliate maketplace is better than signing up for tons of affiliate programs.
