This is simple you find a very good affiliate program and join for free.
Then select a product that you want or like to promote.
Get an affiliate link for that product.
Start a free website or write an article on this product and submit to free article directories with your affiliate links. If any one purchases from your link then you get commission.

Affiliate marketing, a few years ago, was not unlike the Gold Rush in California back in the 1800s. A few people made bank by creating blogs and selling affiliate products, two activities that don’t require a dime to get started, and pretty soon the “Get Rich Online” movement was born.
But things are changing. In order to be successful at Affiliate marketing, niche marketing, or any other type of online marketing, you need to convey authority, relevancy and trust with your primary audience. This can’t be done with a simple blog anymore, or a nice fancy banner.
Today’s Internet user is incredibly computer savvy, as well as sales-savvy. Only a few years ago, consumers online really didn’t know how to handle e-commerce. Scams were prevalent and nobody shopped online because of the trust issues. But today’s consumer is much smarter and is much more hip to the scams.
You can still make a lot of money with Affiliate marketing, but you must be smart about it. You must get into your target market’s head and ask yourself, “What would cause me to buy from me?”
If you can answer that question, you’ll go far in this business. Just remember, it’s all about creating authority within your subject matter. Do you know your subject inside and out? With Affiliate marketing, do you know your product or service inside and out?
If you don’t know the answers to those questions, you’re going to find it very difficult to sell to the common online user. The online marketing game is changing and you had better be ready to bring your A game if you hope to make it.
That all being said, in order to make money in affiliate marketing, you need to:
1. Only use quality writing and design work. If you’re not good at writing or design, consider outsourcing your marketing materials from expert designers, coders, writers and marketers.
2. Only choose to promote products that you can really get behind. Your audience must trust you or else you won’t go anywhere. Either promote only the products you’ve used yourself, or only promote products that you’ve done extensive research on. You should know who created the product and you should scour the net for online reviews. Find a top-quality product and your target audience will thank you for it many times over.
3. Use Attraction Marketing. Instead of being the pushy salesperson (won’t work nowadays), you need to bring your audience to you. Jump on forums and blogs and give great advice and let your audience know that you’re the go-to person in your field. Soon, your audience will be so intrigued that they’ll flood your page to find out what you’re all about. And, since that traffic is targeted, they’ll be very interested in the products and services you’re offering. AND they’ll trust your recommendations on those products and services because they now see you as the expert. Cha Ching!
4. Finally, don’t give up. Affiliate marketing may be free to start, but that doesn’t mean that it’s going to be easy. There are a lot of crappy products out there and there is a LOT of competition. Just hang in there, keep plugging away, keep building authority, relevancy and trust and you’ll outperform, outrank and outsell all of those other competitors. The cream always rises to the top and with Affiliate Marketing it’s no different. Always bring quality and you’ll be fine.
Hope that helps. Good luck!

This is the kind of subject you could read about forever. Best way to start is get something going and learn from experience. Your only expenses are a domain name and webhosting which will come to less than $ 100 between them
