HOW TO DO AFFILIATE MARKETING WITHOUT A WEBSITE

I recommend it because ClickBank as a platform has been around for decades, with over 10,000+ affiliate products in dozens of niches, this platform is best for every beginner and more importantly, you don’t need a website to promote their products.

By any means, you’re free to roam around online to find other affiliate marketplaces (Or) affiliate programs that cater most to your needs.

Build a landing page to capture your leads and redirect your users to affiliate offers

Landing pages are different from our usual website and blogs. Let me explain, usually our goals with any blog would be to create regular content and rank on Google, but whereas with landing pages, all you ever need is a static webpage with minimal content on it and should be good enough to convert traffic into clicks and leads.

A landing page is our replacement for websites as it acts like a website that doesn’t need constant investments and time like a blog.

Therefore having a landing page is one of the best ways to promote affiliate products without a website.

Besides, like any blog, you don’t need a domain name (or) hosting service to build a landing page. Instead, there are multiple software in the market which allows you to create your own landing pages with just a few clicks on the go.

Moreover, the all-in-all purpose of a landing page is to collect leads and redirect your visitors onto the affiliate product. Therefore it becomes essential to design a user-friendly landing page that is relatable to your product and should offer some value to make it high converting.

Note: Usually in landing pages, you add value by giving away free ebooks (or) videos courses, and to access those products, people would sign up by giving their email addresses thus making them convert as your leads.

To design a top-notch landing page you don’t need any coding skills and actually, you can choose software like ClickFunnels to create landing pages from scratch. Inside this software, it has tons of pre-made templates which you can use to design and customize your landing pages thoroughly.

Also, ClickFunnels is an all-in-one solution for sales funnels, so further down the line, if you want to add a domain name (or) build more landing pages (or) integrate multiple other tools (or) even create your own funnel from scratch, then you can rest assured that it’s gonna be easy with ClickFunnels.

Use an email autoresponder to capture and nurture your leads

Well, if you’re asking, why do I even need an email autoresponder?

Then, my friend, you should know that email marketing is a billion-dollar industry despite emails are being there since the birth of the internet, today there are actually billions of email users worldwide.

So it’s evident that emails are gonna be there forever, and if you ask marketers around the world, they would also suggest email marketing as a potential marketing channel too.

Since I personally do use email marketing for my business, I can clearly say that learning the skill of email marketing alone is a good enough way to learn how to make money with affiliate marketing without having a website.

Thus far I have talked enough about emails and email marketing. So let’s talk about email autoresponders, then.

In affiliate marketing, an email autoresponder is a tool that helps affiliate marketers collect the email IDs of their prospects and send them continuous emails using a sequence.

Usually, email autoresponders are connected with a landing page, via a signup form where people would fill out their email addresses.

As the email IDs are entered in those signup forms, they go straight into the email autoresponder’s list, and as the email sequence is set up, those mail IDs will be nurtured with frequent marketing emails.

To make money with email marketing directly, your emails will contain affiliate links so that when people click on those links, they have a chance to purchase your product as it helps you make affiliate commissions.

Therefore email autoresponders should be an essential element in your affiliate marketing system and once you consistently send traffic to your landing pages and start collecting emails to later send then email sequences.

In that way, you would be making more income through your email sequence than your landing page sales.

To connect your email autoresponder to your landing pages, ClickFunnels makes it easy to set up (Or) connect almost any email autoresponder to your landing page and send automated emails through it.

By the way, among the hundreds of email autoresponders, GetRepsone, Mailerlite, and Convertkit have stood out as the best for me. Since all these tools have a free trial period, you can use them both to promote affiliate products without a website.

Undoubtedly if you work for Quora for 2-3 months consistently answering relevant questions to your affiliate niche, then you’re most likely to have a chance to see constant clicks coming to your landing pages.

So clearly Quora is a nice way to make money with affiliate marketing without a website.

The simple steps which you can take to grow on Quora would be:-

• Firstly sign up for an account and add a relevant profile picture, credentials, and fill in your profile with a nice bio
• Later join popular spaces in your niche and, if possible, apply to become a contributor to any of them
• Post your answers daily and remember to only answer questions that have a good following on Quora.

To start doing affiliate marketing with Facebook groups. All you have to do is join those groups and share your links in the post comments and interact with the people to make them purchase your affiliate product.

Indeed, using Facebook groups for affiliate marketing is hard to get through because there will be tens if not hundreds of people in a Facebook group trying to do the same thing as you.

However, since Facebook groups are easily accessible and are free to use, therefore all it takes is an investment of your time to connect with them and make them into leads to generate sales from those leads.

If this idea of joining other Facebook groups and chasing people with links doesn’t seem right for you. Then you can always create a group of your own and make people join your group, and share good content so that people would eventually click on your links whenever you promote something.

Thus in this way, Facebook groups are qualified as one of the most simplest ways to promote affiliate products without a website.

Even though Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are the top layer of content creating platforms. There are actually multiple other platforms too which generate millions of traffic each month.

Also, most of these platforms have lesser competition than our usual social media platform..

Even though I think that this suggestion is best for someone who likes writing just like me and if you are also the same. Then I think you should take advantage of some of these free writing platforms to build an audience and share your affiliate links in your content pieces.

Right now, there are tons of such platforms where you can write for free. Some of such self-punching platforms are:-

• Medium
• Vocal Media
• Blog Lovin
• Hubpages
• Steemit

Note: Since all these mentioned platforms are significant sites with millions of readers. They have a good trust score on Google, and if you’re able to write articles with popper optimized keywords, you would also have a better chance of even ranking your content on Google.

Thus, by constantly writing on such self-publishing platforms, you will learn to make money with affiliate marketing without a website.

I am sure that you must be thinking that there are already a bunch of Instagram influencers out there, and I might have no chance as a newbie to growing on the platform.

To some extent, what you think is true regarding the platform is filled with big players and competitive creators. But in reality, you don’t need 100,000+ followers to become successful on Instagram and make money.

In fact, you could do affiliate marketing on Instagram with no followers but in the long run and to build a sustainable income, we do need followers.

Although the best part is that an account with even less than 10k followers can generate commissions for your affiliate product. Moreover, Instagram is all about building your brand and interacting with people on a level where your followers can trust your content.

I have grown my Instagram account to 10K followers, and I can say that growing to 10K followers without paid advertising on Instagram is tough, but it’s definitely not impossible.

Tip: If you’ve heavy pockets, then I would recommend you spend money on Instagram ads and paid shout-outs to increase your follower count.

Since I assume most of you don’t have a heavy pocket and wanna grow your followers organically, then remember to be consistent with creating regular content, interacting with people frequently, and thereafter should grow your brand over time.

I assume you know that most of the influencers on Instagram do make money with sponsorship posts and affiliate marketing and they do it by having no websites of their own.

With over 2 billion daily active users, YouTube has undoubtedly revolutionized the online content industry with videos.

There are actually tons of YouTubers out there who make more than decent income just by monetizing their channels with affiliate marketing, and I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t start a YouTube channel especially if you’re passionate about something.

Youtube affiliate marketing without a website is probably the best choice than other platforms as I don’t see any other better video content platform online which can provide you exposure to such a vast user base.

However, to create content on YouTube, you need to have specific skills, and if you don’t, then it’s going to be hard to create quality content and generate views for your videos.

Instead of trying out on your own, you can opt for free YouTube courses from Udemy, SkillShare, Eduonix, and Teachable. 

Later when you finish your courses and understand the nitty-gritty details of YouTube SEO you could eventually start a channel and grow it on YouTube.

So far all the ways which I mentioned till now to promote an affiliate product were through platforms that are free to use, but instead, if you have money in your pockets and wanna test paid advertising.

Then it’s a great idea.

Although paid advertising means investment, here you actually can start campaigns with smaller budgets and later scale it up as you see profits.

While running ads do remember that most of your initial profit from ads should be re-invested in itself which means every initial dollar of your commission should be spent again on ads only so that in this way, you will keep the ball rolling.

Also in return as your ad reaches more and more people,  there will be more leads to work with, and also you will generate more sales in the end. Thus with PPC ads, you’re promoting affiliate products without a website

If not Google ads, then there are social media ads for you. Compared to PPC ads, Instagram and Facebook ads will cost you less, but at the same time, Google ads are more prone to better leads and more sales for your affiliate marketing campaigns.

Despite saying so, I think Facebook ads do have the potential to make you money with affiliate marketing without a website. Even though over the years, Facebook has written ad policies to terminate old affiliate practices, there are still marketers who prefer Facebook ads as their major traffic source.

Also due to Facebook’s strict ad policies most of the new advertisers have failed at advertising on Facebook and such experiences led them to think that affiliate marketing is dead.

Whereas if you ask an experienced advertiser, he would say that running affiliate marketing campaigns on Facebook can still be successful.

All we need to do is learn our ways to get around with Facebook ad policies and give preference to users while still targeting and triggering them with ads

In general Native ads are costly, and it is said that the cost per impression for a usual native ad is comparatively higher than any other ad platform. Thus only people who have oversized pockets should look into native ads, and since the ad spend is more, affiliate marketers usually make more money using native ads than PPC and Facebook ads.

There are two prominent native ads platform, and they are:-

• Taboola
• Outbrain
