Miners get rewarded with new tokens when they help processing transactions, securing the community and connecting all users.

Just like Bitcoin, Ethereum community and market is kept running because of the existence of these miners.

To mine Ether, you basically need to keep your device on with special computational system running.

Every 15 seconds on average, a new block is added to the blockchain and 3 Ethers will be rewarded to the computer for generating the latest block.

It is made randomly and rewards are given in proportion to the computational power of each machine.
