THE SIMPLE EXPLANATION
WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE?
Being an affiliate of a program means you make a commission when you drive traffic to someones product. So you can make money without having you own product to manufacture. Companies pay YOU to put up an ad at your blog and pay you for clicks on the ad, items sold through your ad, or many other factors.

You can drive traffic many ways...Paid ads on websites and search engines....or FREE ads using online classifieds. You can even buy traffic by the "hit". A million hits is cheaper than you think!!! Out of a million if you get commissions from 500 of them you are going to make some good money.
HOW MANY PROGRAMS CAN I JOIN?
You can join as many programs from as many companies you feel you can promote!! Take a look at my blog...I am an affiliate of all these programs and more! I promote each one differently. The key to making money is to market the most relevant products together so they sell each other....for example if you are promoting affiliate programs a good second would be a domain host for websites!! A good third may be traffic driving services!!!....get the picture?
THE TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliates marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as 'retailer' or 'brand'), the network, the publisher (also known as 'the affiliate'), and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third parties vendors.
Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.
Affiliate marketing—using one website to drive traffic to another—is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.
