Many affiliate marketing newbies are hesitant about getting their own website, some because of a lack of money, some because they aren’t quite ready to commit themselves to it financially. Thankfully, there is a solution for people in this situation, that allows them to start doing affiliate marketing without their own website.
Here are the most practical and easy-to-start methods for making money with internet marketing programs without a website.
1. Forum marketing
Although some forums have a policy not to accept affiliate links in the signature file, most tolerate it and allow you to place from one to three affiliate links in the signature file, that is visible every time you post to the forum. The basic principle of forum marketing requires you to find a niche marketing that has in demand products, then find the affiliate products to promote and after that, all that is left is for you to start participating in related niche forums.
2. Free blogs like Blogger
Unlike Wordpress, which doesn’t tolerate affiliate promotion on their free blogs, Blogger is another story. You can set up your own free blog on a blogspot subdomain and start writing and posting content into which your affiliate links can be inserted. You can write about anything related to the affiliate offer you’re promoting, as well as write product reviews. Some folks have made quite an income online doing this.
3. Build Squidoo lenses
Squidoo is a free web platform, similar to a blog, but with a slightly different approach to things, as well as many more features. Squidoo is an online community of lensmasters, who build pages called lenses. These lenses can be about anything and there really is no limit to the affiliate promotions you can do there, as long as you post quality content.
These are three simple shortcuts for making money with affiliate marketing without a website. Tey’re also great learning tools and experiences that will have in your further internet marketing development.
