Affiliate marketing works as follows
Businesses start a program called affiliate program where anyone or any specified marketer can join to sell their products and as a return marketers earn some commissions described by the business.
You as an affiliate marketer visit their affiliate marketing page and research the commission price, policies, joining requirements and more.
Once you select the program to join, you sign up with the program and once approved by the business or auto approved, you become a verified affiliate partner of that business.
Once you approve, you will see an affiliate dashboard where you can select products to sell. You will be assigned a unique affiliate link for that particular product which you can promote anywhere you want.
When someone clicks on that unique link and purchases the product, it will be tracked by the business and once verified that the purchase was done by your link only. You can see the commission on the affiliate dashboard.
