What is Internet Marketing?
Direct quote from Wikipedia:
To keep it simple, it consists of monetizing your time online while using your computer to produce a stream of income. It can make you living if you specialize in it and one can make over $10,000 as monthly basis but it takes time to develop to that stage as being an Internet Marketer.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate Marketing consists of promoting products from other people and earning commissions for each sale made through you (Or usually your affiliate link provided by the author of the product). The commissions are paid to you either on a fixed date which is told to you by the author or directly into your account, whether it's an online payment processor account such as Paypal, Liberty Reserve, AlertPay, Moneybookers or anything such as them or your bank account. Commissions vary from 1%/sale up to 100% per sale so as you can see, the potential of this way of monetization is unlimited as the possibilities with this technique are endless.
Affiliate Networks
Affiliate Networks are sites which provide you with an marketplace or something similiar where you can find products to promote created by others to earn commissions for each sale made through you. Here is a list of few most known ones in this field of Internet Marketing:

Now as you can see, there are two types of registration possibilities on few of those sites. Advertisers and Publishers. Now you may ask why is it that way? Well, let me explain what does each one mean!
Advertiser
Publisher
Now if you wish to succeed on making money as affiliate, you must be willing to work really hard since there are many other people competing on the market (Niche) that you have decided to try to sell the product from affiliate network to. There are 3 main ways of making money out of affiliate marketing and they are:
If you can combine all of these three and have big mailing list (Refers to e-mail marketing), good websites with unique content and high traffic (Refers to Niche sites) and good handful of offline customers (Refers to Offline Marketing), then you will make most likely a good income online as an affiliate marketer.
PTC(Paid To Click), CPA(Cost Per Action), PPD(Paid Per Download)
PTC(Paid To Click)
Paid To Click websites offer you the option to earn for clicking advertisments but the potential of making good income from this kind of sites is really low if you are impatient person and don't wish to spend few good months/years with this site as the best way to get money out of these is to get high amount of referrals and let them earn for you. You usually earn anywhere from $0.001 to $0.002 per click on these sites and the amount of clicks that can be done daily is limited which means that you can't make more than $0.01 daily from them. But the good thing about this is that they usually pay after you have reached the minimum payment limit which usually is from $2 up to $10 and they pay with PayPal. But I must mention that huge amount of this type of sites are a scam and don't pay, so I'd advice to google up a bit about the site you wish to join before signing up for it to see if there are any reports of it being scam-site instead of legit one.
Here is a list of few legit PTC(Paid To Click) sites:
(Click name to visit the website)
CPA(Cost Per Action)
CPA stands for Cost Per Action and the networks which are CPA Networks, provide you with gateaways which you can place on your website to make people fill in an survey/offer and after a succesful completion of survey, they will achieve the action that you have hidden behind the CPA gateaway. You earn money for each survey completed and can earn anywhere from $0.5 up to $20 per completion so as you can see, the potential is high.
To earn from CPA you need to have an website which you can use the gateaways on as it is in the form of HTML code that the CPA network provides you with that you must place on your site and this can only be done if you have access to the files of your site (Whether it is fully PHP or HTML coded) to put the code in and start earning. You also need to have good traffic or know how to promote your website efficently in order to receive leads to your gateaway site and to earn money.
CPA Networks are probably the second highest way of making an decent stream of income each month from Internet Marketing. People have made millions from this kind of websites and still do. But the thing is, if you can't invest anything while trying to make money online, you can't earn high. Ofcourse you can earn but not nearly as much as the ones who make $10,000+ a month (Related to ROI).
Here are the most popular CPA Networks:

PPD(Pay Per Download)
PPD(Pay Per Download) sites are websites which provide you an unique way of earning money from $0.4 up to $7 per download just by uploading your content on their site after signing up, then promoting the download link to the audience which most fits into the market (niche) of your content. The user that wants to download your file, must first complete an quick survey or buy a premium account in order to download your file and it doesn't matter which one they choose as both will earn you money. But if they decide to buy a premium account, they can freely download the file you promote next time if the download link is for the same PPD network that he bought it for. So for example, if you are promoting a File Ice download link and the user buys a premium account from your download link, you earn money and the next time you give them the download link from File Ice for a new file, he can download it without a survey or buying a premium account and you wont earn money. But if he has premium account for File Ice and you decide to upload your content on Share Cash, he must buy another premium account for that site or complete the survey as the one he bought for File Ice does not work for Share Cash.
To earn from PPD(Pay Per Download) sites, you need to have content that everybody wants and that YOU would be willing to fill an quick survey for. That's your thumb rule, always before uploading something, think if YOU were willing to do a survey to obtain it or not. If yes, then upload it but if not, then don't as you are just wasting your time. The most popular methods of promoting download links for this kind of sites to earn from are: Youtube, Facebook, Forum posting and Twitter.
Here are a few PPD sites:

ROI(Return Of Investment)
ROI stands for Return Of Investment which usually refers to buying advertising for your website from sites such as Google AdWords and so. This means that if you have for example Google AdSense integrated on your site or maybe a product from ClickBank and you buy advertising for it, you should receive traffic for your site from google as they will show your advertisment you have paid for in featured search results and you pay only for every click that you get via google. ROI means that you receive traffic which will either decide to click your AdSense ads that earn you money or maybe buy the product you are promoting and you earn money from that. There are two types of ROI, either you earn less or nothing from what you invested and make no profit which sucks OR you make more money than you invested and therefore make profit which is good.
Conclusion
As the world wide web keeps growing up each day, new possibilities of making money online as an Internet Marketer will be created and therefore, the methods of creating an decent and stable stream of income online are endless. All in all, Internet Marketing is not as complicated as it seems to be but it's just that people are either not interested in spending their time in front of computer to earn just by sitting on your ass or are too lazy to start implementing the methods that they find on monetizing online from somewhere because they think that "I have a job, I don't need that", yet they might try one method one day, fail at it and then completely disclose the possibility of making money online because it didn't work out for them. If you wish to be an succesful in the field of Internet Marketing, you must keep on trying and most importantly you need to trial and error (Try a niche to see if it works, if not, try another or improve your tactic) to see what works for you.

Advertiser
- Advertiser is either invidual person or a company which wants to advertise their web site to get it more traffic and Advertiser is the one who pays money to show add his advertisments on the network on the site he decides to sign up as Advertiser. The money that Publisher generates comes from Advertiser.
Publisher
- Publisher is either invidual person or a company who wants to make money out of their web-site by joining one of these affiliate networks and displaying the content from that network on their site and earning revenue from it. The money that Publisher earns, comes from Advertisers.

There are 3 main ways of making money out of affiliate marketing and they are:
- E-mail marketing which is sending e-mails which includes your affiliate links in them to people
- Making up niche sites to promote your affiliate links or making invidual website only for the product you are promoting as an affiliate
- Offline marketing which is simply put, trying to sell the product to people by calling them with your phone or maybe visiting them and introducing them the product you are promoting
