When was the last time you clicked a spammy-looking link and bought something? <em>Enough said! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answering questions on Quora:<\/strong> This can work but it involves a lot of time answering people&#8217;s questions and sharing affiliate links <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/How-can-I-share-affiliate-links-on-Quora-to-make-money\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"544\">will get you banned<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Paid advertising:<\/strong> Getting into paid advertising as an affiliate marketer beginner is a big <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/affiliate-marketing-dos-donts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"545\">affiliate marketing no-no<\/a> because there&#8217;s a lot you need to get right if you don&#8217;t want to break the bank. Plus, you still need to send people to some kind of landing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>YouTube<\/strong>: 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Reasons A Website Is A Must-Have For Affiliates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you boil it down, <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"546\">affiliate marketing<\/a> is about sending the <strong>RIGHT<\/strong> traffic to the <strong>RIGHT<\/strong> places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I can think of no better way of doing that than creating a website based on an <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-choose-an-affiliate-marketing-niche\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"547\">affiliate marketing niche<\/a>, producing quality content that answers the questions of your target audience and getting free Google traffic 24\/7 you can recommend relevant products to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not yet convinced? Here are my 6 top reasons every affiliate marketer needs a website: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. A Website Is A Real Money-Making Asset<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spamming Facebook groups with affiliate links isn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-affiliate-marketing-make-you-rich\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"548\">how you get rich with affiliate marketing<\/a>, starting a website is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? Because it&#8217;s the heart of any successful online business; it&#8217;s where you drive traffic, <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-sell-other-peoples-products-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">promote products<\/a>, get your links clicked and make monthly commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a website, you get to generate a consistent income stream <strong>AND<\/strong> build a real money-making asset at the same time. Sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flippa<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a data-lasso-id=\"550\" href=\"https:\/\/empireflippers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Empire Flippers<\/a>\u00a0sell affiliate sites for up to <a data-lasso-id=\"551\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/allbusiness\/2017\/09\/20\/how-much-is-my-website-worth-and-how-do-i-sell-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">36x the average monthly revenue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Let that sink in&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 <strong>BIG<\/strong> time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Your Financial Future Deserves A Firm Foundation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trying to do affiliate marketing without a website is like the foolish man who built his house on the sinking sand; you&#8217;re not building your financial future on a solid foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/affiliate-marketing-without-a-website-illustration-2.jpg\" alt=\"affiliate marketing without a website illustration\" class=\"wp-image-1458\" style=\"width:450px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/affiliate-marketing-without-a-website-illustration-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/affiliate-marketing-without-a-website-illustration-2-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/affiliate-marketing-without-a-website-illustration-2-768x553.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/why-most-affiliate-marketers-fail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"552\">Affiliate marketers fail<\/a> when, instead of using social media to supplement their affiliate income, they build their whole affiliate marketing business on platforms they don&#8217;t own and have no control over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It happens every day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>TikTokers get shut down<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instagramers get banned<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>YouTubers get cancelled <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facebookers get blocked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an affiliate website, <strong>YOU<\/strong> own it completely and <strong>YOU<\/strong> are the one in control. It&#8217;s your very own piece of virtual real estate, it&#8217;s your online shopfront that is always open for business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be smart.
