Most successful affiliate marketers promote affiliate
products using a blog or website, but it is possible to do affiliate marketing
without a website.
Not everyone can afford the expense of their own hosted
blog. Below are a few methods promoting affiliate products without a website.
Using Google’s Free Blogging Platform – Blogger
This blog that you are reading is hosted on Google’s
Blogger. You can customize it to some extent without having coding knowledge. I
was able to add my logo, some banners, as well as a contact form to the
sidebar.
You too could host your blog on Blogger, whatever country
you live in.
YouTube
Most of the top affiliate marketers have a presence on
YouTube. It not everyone’s choice to speak on camera and there are some people
including me who shouldn’t speak on camera (croaky voice). But there are text
to speech solutions that are almost hard to distinguish between a real person
and a robot voice.
When posting a video, you can add a description listing to your
affiliate link. Video is said to be one of the best tools to convert visitors
to buyers. If your content is popular enough YouTube will let you post
advertisements within your video and YouTube will pay you as well.
Other video marketing sites include Vimeo and Daily Motion.
Create PDFs To Post On The Web
Ewen Chia, a super affiliate, has created a course detailing
the best method for creating PDFs or mini eBooks to earn affiliate commissions.
The course is called Copy – Paste – Income. He shares many helpful tips, and
the course is affordable.
Use Safelists To Email Safelist Members
What is a safelist? A Safelist is a list of email
subscribers who have agreed to receive emails sent by the safelist from other
members. Many internet marketers recommend getting prospects onto your email
list before sending them affiliate offers, but you can try, and you could get a
sale. Make sure the product is affordable and you may have some interest.
Market On Traffic Exchanges
What are traffic exchanges? When you join a traffic exchange
you click to view other members ads and earn credits, and they do the same. If
you have a compelling offer that is affordable you could get some people who
are interested. The biggest traffic exchange is EasyHits4U.com. They have over
1 million members.
Social Media
There are many social media sites on the web. Of course, we
all know all the big social media sites but there are a few smaller ones like
Webtalk, and CashJuice.
Social Bookmarking Sites
If you have written a blog post or created a video, you can
post it on a social bookmarking site like Digg. This will create back links as
well as getting you some extra traffic.
Forum Posting
Forums attract people looking for answers to their problems
and they therefore get lots of traffic. If you help people within these forums,
the members will see you as an authority and you can market to them indirectly.
Meaning that you can link to your affiliate links or your blog by posting them
in your forum signature link.
Conclusion
There are many ways to do affiliate marketing without a
website. Google loves WordPress blogs but they also like Google Blogger,
YouTube, forums, and social bookmarking sites.
