A: Make money with affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is a unique online marketing phenomenon. It’s one of the most exciting ways to make money online. Also, it’s one way that people can turn their passion into a profitable side business. Whether you’re a blogger or a writer, a YouTuber or a freelance designer, a podcast host or a podcaster, every good affiliate marketer uses a website to drive traffic and make money. But if you don’t have a website, how do you optimize your content to drive traffic and make money? Affiliate marketing doesn’t require a website. In fact, many of the most successful affiliate marketers don’t even have a website! In this article, we’ll talk about how to make money with affiliate marketing without having a website.

A: Why no website is necessary to start in affiliate marketing

A website is a good way to promote products you love and get paid for it. However, there are other ways to promote these products and get paid for it as well. And if you have a blog, some of them might be easier to implement! Some affiliate networks will allow you to add links to your blog posts which will then link directly to the product. This will allow you to get traffic from your followers on social media or on your blog already. Once they click on the link, the affiliate network will track the sales and pay you a commission on each sale. This can be done without any intervention from your end. The best part about this is that if you’re not ready to create an entire website yet, you can still get started in affiliate marketing right away! Here are some other ways to promote products that don’t require you to create a website:

Social Media: You can use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest etc. to promote products without having your own site. The advantage of this is that everything you post will be in front of all your followers (even though they may not click on the link). You could post images or videos or text or any combination of these in these platforms. Use relevant hashtags in your posts so that people in your niche will find it in their feeds.

Email Marketing: Email is another great channel for promoting products that don’t require a website. Many affiliate networks including Amazon offer email marketing services that allow you to send out emails to your list of subscribers when you have something to promote. These emails can be used to send the link to the product page. Just like in social media, include images or videos or any other relevant content to help increase engagement with your email list subscribers. If you want more control over the content of the email, you can use programs like MailChimp or Aweber for yourself. These programs will allow you to create automated emails that can be sent out at scheduled intervals or manually when you want them to go out. The emails can include whatever content you want them to contain including images, text etc.

YouTube/Vimeo/Blogging/Podcasting/Video Blogging/Etc.: You can also use video platforms like YouTube or Vimeo or blogging platforms like WordPress or Medium or podcasting platforms like Anchor or Spreaker to promote products without having your own site. Depending on what platform you choose, you can create text-based videos or video blogs or podcasts or live video broadcasts or just normal videos promoting products that will allow you to get paid without having your own site where people have to click through links to go to the product page. On YouTube, you can either do text-based videos where the product links are embedded within the text itself or put them in annotations/cards or have them placed at the end of the video after it ends. You can also create video blogs where you talk about the product while showing screenshots of it being used by other people. On other platforms like WordPress, Medium etc., you can simply create written content using the platform’s blogging feature and embed links within it. You can even embed links within images and videos as well. This is why YouTube and WordPress are so popular among affiliate marketers – they give you so many options for promoting products without having your own site!

Email Marketing: Email is another great channel for promoting products that don’t require a website. Many affiliate networks including Amazon offer email marketing services that allow you to send out emails to your list of subscribers when you have something to promote. These emails can be used to send the link to the product page. Just like in social media, include images or videos or any other relevant content to help increase engagement with your email list subscribers. If you want more control over the content of the email, you can use programs like MailChimp or Aweber for yourself. These programs will allow you to create automated emails that can be sent out at scheduled intervals or manually when you want them to go out. The emails can include whatever content you want them to contain including images, text etc.

This is why YouTube and WordPress are so popular among affiliate marketers – they give you so many options for promoting products without having your own site!

III: Conclusion

Affiliate marketing isn’t just about promoting products with websites! There are so many ways to promote products without having a website as well! Bloggers and writers and podcasters and YouTubers and anyone who has a website can leverage their existing footprint online and help promote products from Amazon and other affiliate networks without having their own site at all! This is especially useful for someone who is new to affiliate marketing and isn’t completely confident about creating their own website yet but wants to start making money with affiliate marketing right away!

Some affiliate networks will even let you choose whether or not you want a custom URL for your affiliate link – allowing you to have a custom URL even if the network doesn’t provide one for free! If this isn’t available on your network of choice, some services like bitly allow you to share custom URLs even if they aren’t supported by some networks including Amazon!
