Let me break it down so you understand

What is affiliate marketing?

In simple terms it's selling someone elses product or service for a profit.

That it

Nothing else

No magic course or 1 million naira secret

All affiliate markets do is sell someone else's product for a profit.

Now who else does this?

Let look offline.

The Mallam down your street, is an affiliate marketer

The shop you go to buy bread and tooth paste "yep affiliate markets as well"

Literal most businesses that sell products in Nigeria, that they import or purchase to sell

The are all affiliate markets

Jumia, konga, Jiji, and the car dealers

Yep all affiliate marketers

Now that you understand this.

Next question

Why are the so called affiliate marketers online so secretive

A
They know the above fact but it's better to make money from gallable people who want to learn.

B
They are affiliates for a product or service they took time to find and develop. So there is no way they would hand out that product secret to you

So now you know, you still want to go into affiliate marketing?

What do you need to get started?

A
A product or service you either buy or not buy yourself, but you can promote or sell it

Confused, let me explain?

Pick any product or service, you really do not need to buy it yourself or even own it

As long as you can sell it and hand it over to the customer when they make a purchase

It can be anything
Milo, cowbell, chicken franks, agent for a 3 bedroom flat, landed properties, a Cummins generator or Toyota Escalada

B
This one is import so pay attention

You must have the right audience to sell it to (traffic)


Example
The Mallam/aboki down your street has the traffic for what he sell
"Aboki nah, give egg and indomie 2, onion de "

That mama misora store you buy bread and chivita, has the the traffic
" I don't have change, let me give you 2 sweet to balance everything"

ShopRite(nthe biggest offline affiliate marketer in Nigeria has the traffic
(That pay$ it's suppliers up to 45 days after their items has been bought from their shelf)

Jumia/Konga the biggest online affiliate marketer in Nigeria
(They own nothing on their website, but pay their sellers almost a month after an item is bought on their website)
-Now that's cabal level affiliate marketing

Now you know what affiliate marketing is

You now know what the rules are
Product/service to sell
Remember you don't have to own it
Traffic to sell to

Now Follow the rules, set up your medium and processes
(could be a website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, you home, or rent a shop, plaza or warehouse)
And go ye into ze world, promote and sell
