What is affiliate marketing? How does it work and how to make money with it.

Affiliate marketing is a way of bringing traffic to a domain through content creation. Once you have the traffic you would do brand deals or they would come to you. Each brand would give you an affiliate link that you can post on your blog or video. Once one of your viewers clicks on this link and buys the product from the brand, you as an influencer will receive a certain amount of commission.

Its a great way to make money with nothing really other than your own fingers or face and using a laptop or your phone.

What kind of brand would I go for?

You should go for brands that allow you have infinite commissions. A lot of brands will try to limit you with a 1 or 2 years worth of commisions. I would ignore those and try to go for affiliate partners that have unlimited commissions.

Affiliate sites?

You can use sites like impact or partnerstack.
