5 Ways To Do Affiliate Marketing Without A Website

How are you going to promote Amazon affiliate links without a website?

Take a look at the alternatives and it quickly becomes clear affiliate marketing without a website is not easy…

Solo ads: Introducing the #1 proven way to overpay for low-quality leads and make no sales.

Forum comments: Reddit, forums, blog and YouTube comments. When was the last time you clicked a spammy-looking link and bought something? Enough said!

Answering questions on Quora: This can work but it involves a lot of time answering people’s questions and sharing affiliate links will get you banned.

Paid advertising: Getting into paid advertising as an affiliate marketer beginner is a big affiliate marketing no-no because there’s a lot you need to get right if you don’t want to break the bank. Plus, you still need to send people to some kind of landing page.

YouTube: One of the better ways to do affiliate marketing without a website, though I would still recommend having a YouTube channel as an extra traffic and revenue source and not the main source.

6 Reasons A Website Is A Must-Have For Affiliates

When you boil it down, affiliate marketing is about sending the RIGHT traffic to the RIGHT places.

And I can think of no better way of doing that than creating a website based on an affiliate marketing niche, producing quality content that answers the questions of your target audience and getting free Google traffic 24/7 you can recommend relevant products to.

Not yet convinced? Here are my 6 top reasons every affiliate marketer needs a website:

1. A Website Is A Real Money-Making Asset

Spamming Facebook groups with affiliate links isn’t how you get rich with affiliate marketing, starting a website is!

Why? Because it’s the heart of any successful online business; it’s where you drive traffic, promote products, get your links clicked and make monthly commissions.

With a website, you get to generate a consistent income stream AND build a real money-making asset at the same time. Sites like Flippa and Empire Flippers sell affiliate sites for up to 36x the average monthly revenue.

Let that sink in…

If your site makes $10,000 a month, you can sell it for $360,000 anytime you want for a big lump sum. Doing affiliate marketing with a website pays off BIG time!

2. Your Financial Future Deserves A Firm Foundation

Trying to do affiliate marketing without a website is like the foolish man who built his house on the sinking sand; you’re not building your financial future on a solid foundation.

Affiliate marketers fail when, instead of using social media to supplement their affiliate income, they build their whole affiliate marketing business on platforms they don’t own and have no control over.

It happens every day:

• TikTokers get shut down
• Instagramers get banned
• YouTubers get cancelled
• Facebookers get blocked

With an affiliate website, YOU own it completely and YOU are the one in control. It’s your very own piece of virtual real estate, it’s your online shopfront that is always open for business.

Be smart. Build a skyscraper of a business on a rock-solid foundation so it will provide for you and your family for many years to come.

3. You’ll Get The Highest Conversion Rates

Affiliates without a website get a lousy 0.5% to 1% conversion rate. That means for every 100 people they put their offer in front of, they’ll be lucky if they make a single sale.

Follow the Commission Academy crash course on the other hand, and you’ll learn exactly how to attract torrents of free and super targeted buyer-ready Google traffic to your site that converts at least 2 or 3 times that!

Why? Because your website is giving your audience a ton of value upfront:

You’re answering their questions and solving their problems. You’re building trust, credibility and likability. You’re connecting with them before sending them to the affiliate program.

How can you do this without a website? You can’t!

Come on, you know it makes sense! 😉

4. The Alternatives Are Expensive And Time-Consuming

Becoming an affiliate marketer without a website is going to cost you dearly in terms of time and money because whatever you decide to do, you’re still gonna need some way of getting traffic and some kind of landing page to send your traffic to.

And without a website what other choices do you have?

• Answering forum questions is a waste of time
• Spamming affiliate links in blog comments won’t work
• Paid ads will cost you a fortune if you don’t know what you’re doing
• Shelling out $297 a month for fancy sales funnel software is a mistake
• Buying done-for-you affiliate marketing systems will only keep you broke

The great thing about affiliate marketing with a website is you can start for as little as $50.25 a month. This covers your domain, hosting and keyword tool – everything you need to succeed.

5. Having A Website Is A Requirement For Most Affiliate Programs

If you want to join Amazon’s affiliate program, for example, they’re going to ask you for your website’s URL.

Same with Clickbank, eBay, Target, Walmart and Adidas’ affiliate programs…

I could go on but you get the picture. You’re going to struggle to get approved for affiliate programs if you don’t have a website to prove you’re a legit affiliate marketer with good content who will represent their company well.

6. There’s No Need To Constantly Chase Sales

Whether it’s email marketing, answering Quora questions, or copying and pasting affiliate links across the web, without a website you’ll need to invest hefty chunks of time every day to go out there and try to drum up sales.

One of the reasons I love affiliate marketing with a website so much is that once you write a blog post, that post can hit Google’s top spot and get traffic and clicks for years. I haven’t touched my first affiliate site for nearly 5 years and still, it generates me over $1,000 a month.

I never chase sales. I don’t need to. 10,000s people a day come to me!

Now that’s a real income strategy! 😎
