How do I Start Affiliate Marketing with no Website?
Building a website is the way affiliates launch themselves into the affiliate marketing world. If you are interested in creating a long-term business, it would be the right thing to put together a website at sometime.
If your not interested in building a website there are other ways to get your affiliate links out there. Here are some methods you could try:
Post on blogs and forums
All you have to do is find a product that you like to promote, then start posting on blogs and forums with your affiliate link in your signature. Of course, you should only post on blogs and forums where people would be interested in the product.
Avoid spamming on these blogs and forums with useless posts just to get your link out there. It does not work, your post will either be deleted or banned. Make sure you write useful and interesting posts. Also become a regular on the site.
Write a viral eBook or some other viral product
This is 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, insert your links to affiliate products into it. If you don’t want to write your own ebook, here’s a place where you can get a Free Viral Branded Ebook.
Write Ads or reviews for classifieds websites
Example: like Craig’slist, you can use the classified sites to promote affiliate products. Maybe writing ads or reviews for affiliate products and posting them with your affiliate link. Other sites: UsFreeAds.com and epage.com
Building a Squidoo Lens
Building a Squidoo Lens is a great way of getting started as an affiliate without building a website from scratch. A lens is like a 1 page mini website where you can talk about your product and you don’t have to know any HTML to make it look professional. Squidoo is also part of social-networking site, so you will begin to attract traffic interested in your topic. Squidoo lenses tend to do well with in the search engines.
Lastly…Pay-Per-Click advertisements
I left this to the last because this one involves creating campaigns and could end up costing lots of money if you are not sure how to go about it. So for now I recommend that you try the other methods I have mentioned above.
Thanks for the sharing! Your post actually assisted me.
Basically wasted the past hr exploring your blog! Just kidding it wasnt a squander in anyway, I actually subscribed for your rss feed!
Is it all just me or is this affiliate marketing, work from home, earn money on the internet etc etc a massive scam to get mugs such as me fired up? Earn $1000’s, quit your full time job and a lot more bogus promises! Almost everyone wanting cash and giving almost nothing in return, most of it the same old B.S. Is the only rewarding niche, the actual niche that attracts mugs like me to spend $1000’s on learning just how to profit on the net? Please tell me I’m incorrect and help me to the correct place. I know somebody must know, is it you? Please tell!
