The best way to describe affiliate marketing would be to use an analogy. Let us say you are the president of your university and every single student in that university listens to your voice. Since you are the president of this university, the majority of people in that university follow your advice and recommendations. Suddenly, a professor of the university asks you to sell his textbook, and in return, he will give you a commission or a percentage of the textbook sale as you have promoted the professor's book to your audience or following.
