Affiliate Marketing Without a Website

Building a website is the most common way affiliates launch themselves into the affiliate marketing world, and if you're interested in creating a long-term business you'll inevitably need to put together a website at some point.


But if you're still learning about web design or you're simply not interested in building a website, there are other ways to get your affiliate links out there. This lesson will teach you affiliate marketing without a website. Remember that all you need to do is get your affiliate link in front of an interested audience. How you choose to do that is completely up to you! Here are some methods you could try:


1. Post on blogs and forums


This is a really simple way of getting a taste for affiliate marketing. All you have to do is find a product you'd like to promote, then start posting on blogs and forums with your affiliate link in your signature.

2. Write a viral eBook or some other "viral" product

This can be a great way of getting your affiliate links out there without ever having to create a website. You can produce a short 30-page ebook or a "special report" on a particular subject, and insert links to affiliate products into it.

3. Promoting affiliate products directly through pay-per-click advertisements

We've left this method for last because, quite frankly, it's not one we recommend. This method involves creating pay-per-click campaigns through search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN and promoting the merchant website directly through your affiliate link.
