The amount of money people spend online is up, affiliate earnings are up and it&#8217;s only going to keep getting better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who is going to benefit from this? You and I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there is no better way to set up than what I\u2019m about to show you right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"here-s-what-you-need\">Here&#8217;s What You Need:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s begin with <strong>affiliate marketing training<\/strong>: the <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"154\">Commission Academy Crash Course<\/a> ($0)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commission Academy is &#8211; in my opinion &#8211; the ultimate training for affiliate marketing beginners. Why? Because it&#8217;s a free and complete step-by-step course with expert 1-on-1 coaching and community support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then you need an <strong>affiliate website<\/strong> with a domain name and web hosting. Think of your domain name as your online address and the hosting as your website storage, meaning your website is live on the web whenever anyone types in your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our preferred hosting? We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/wealthyaffiliate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wealthy Affiliate<\/a> ($19 first month, then $49 a month) because you get 24\/7 technical support, daily backups, free SSL, WordPress comes already installed and their beginner-friendly website builder is a HUGE timesaver. You can register your domain for around $14.99 a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve got your website, you&#8217;re going to need a <strong>WordPress theme<\/strong>. Our favourite is <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/generatepress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GeneratePress<\/a> because they make it super easy to get your website looking exactly how you want. They have an excellent free version and the Premium version is only $59 a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, you&#8217;ll need a <strong>keyword tool<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/jaaxy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jaaxy<\/a> so you know what kind of content to build your website out with. The good news is Jaaxy comes included with your Wealthy Affiliate membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, let&#8217;s talk about a <strong>logo<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re one of the creative types you can go ahead and use <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/canva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canva<\/a> (free or $12.99\/month) to create your own. Canva is also a great place for stock images. Otherwise, <a data-lasso-id=\"159\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/search\/gigs?query=logo&amp;search_in=everywhere&amp;source=opensearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fiverr<\/a>&#8216;s your best bet with designers on hand to create a logo for you with prices starting at $5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And voil\u00e0! You now have everything you need to become a huge affiliate marketing success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overall cost? Just $50.25 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-0-affiliate-marketing-startup\">The $0 Affiliate Marketing Startup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a really tight budget? Let&#8217;s cover how you can start affiliate marketing for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"here-s-what-you-need-1\">Here&#8217;s What You Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For solid <strong>affiliate marketing training<\/strong> specifically designed for beginners, take the <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"160\">Commission Academy crash course<\/a> ($0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your <strong>affiliate website<\/strong>, use <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/wealthyaffiliate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wealthy Affiliate&#8217;s<\/a> Starter membership to get a subdomain and hosting ($0). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The tradeoff with a free website domain is that it\u2019s&nbsp;more work trying to get Google rankings&nbsp;and we would recommend you transfer your site over to a paid domain as soon as you&#8217;re able to. But if you are looking for the&nbsp;free option &#8211; this is it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the free version of <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/generatepress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GeneratePress<\/a> to get your website looking like you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your <strong>keyword tool<\/strong>, use <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/jaaxy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jaaxy<\/a>. It&#8217;ll give you all the keyword info you need ($0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, use the free version of <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/canva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canva<\/a> to create a professional-looking <strong>logo<\/strong> ($0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s it! You now have everything at your fingertips to start affiliate marketing without paying a penny. You&#8217;re welcome! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-tips-to-help-keep-your-costs-down\">3 Tips To Help Keep Your Costs Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re starting out in affiliate marketing then choosing the right budget is critical to your success. To help, here are a few money-saving tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-don-t-pay-for-tools-you-don-t-need\">1. Don&#8217;t Pay Over The Odds For Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can pay $1,000s and even $10,000s for affiliate marketing training, but you really don&#8217;t need to! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here at <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"164\">Commission Academy<\/a>, we recognise not everyone starting out has that kind of money lying around to invest in a course. This is exactly why Dale and I made the decision to offer our training program to all aspiring affiliate marketers everywhere completely free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-don-t-pay-for-tools-you-don-t-need\">2. Don&#8217;t Pay For Tools You Don&#8217;t Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are affiliate marketing scams out there saying you need to pay $297 a month <em>(at least!)<\/em> for funnel-creating software like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickfunnels.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ClickFunnels<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other online &#8220;gurus&#8221; will tell you to shell out $197 a month for tracking software like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickmagick.com\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"166\">ClickMagick<\/a>&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>It&#8217;s just not necessary!<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you need to start affiliate marketing is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Good affiliate marketing training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A website domain and hosting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A WordPress theme<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A keyword tool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A logo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And sure, you can reinvest some of your online earnings back into the business to pay for things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Managed hosting like <a data-lasso-id=\"167\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bigscoots.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BigScoots<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advanced keyword tools like <a data-lasso-id=\"168\" href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ahrefs<\/a> and <a data-lasso-id=\"169\" href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Semrush<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium themes like <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/goto\/generatepress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GeneratePress<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that&#8217;s for further down the line. For now, just stick to the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-master-free-traffic-before-trying-paid-ads\">3. Master Free Traffic Before Trying Paid Ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diving straight into paid traffic is one surefire way to empty a newbie&#8217;s wallet. I&#8217;m serious! There&#8217;s so much terrible advice online that goes something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Use this page builder software, buy email solo ads and you&#8217;ll make commissions!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounds good, but <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/done-for-you-affiliate-marketing-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"171\">it never works<\/a>. Paying out for ads is expensive and the conversion rates are ridiculously low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google, YouTube and Facebook ads are great options that can work really well once you&#8217;ve mastered the art of copywriting, selling and conversions&#8230; and that takes time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s much better to start with free and organic traffic first so you have the space to develop your skills without depleting your bank account. It&#8217;s smart, it&#8217;s risk-free and it&#8217;s exactly <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"172\">what we teach inside Commission Academy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There you have it! You now know how to launch your affiliate marketing career for $50 a month <em>(recommended)<\/em>, or for free if you&#8217;re on a really tight budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cost breakdown should give you everything you need to get started, but if you have any questions or just want some personalised advice, please do not hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"173\">contact us<\/a> at any time.
