I would explain it in the following way

“I get paid to to sit on my bum without lifting a finger”

Unfortunately there’s too much hype and BS about affiliate marketing these days.

I create websites that help people find what they want online, mostly tangible products, and I get paid a generous commission each time one of those people purchases something I helped them find.

Oops, I meant to say “I get paid a finders fee” rather than “I do paid a finders fee” LOL…

What I was trying to say was along the lines of “I am a freelance marketer that get paid a finders fee for referring potential clients to a list of specific companies that pay commission base on these customers I send their way.”

I like what you said at the end: “I got an online magazine and I sell advertising space.”

That seems like a very good description, though it’s not usually the way we think of it; it’s completely an offline idea taken online, and I expect that it’s much easier for less web-savvy people to grasp than many of the others.

I say I’m into IM, useally that ends the conversation, since no one understands what I’m saying…sometimes I’ll say I run some websites for a living, and all people want to know about is: How do I build websites:) Crazy.
This is just to show you that affiliate marketing is a wide-open market, at this point if you even know what it is, you’re way ahead in the race.
