How to Earn Cash Through Affiliate Programs Without a Website

Making money through affiliate marketing programs can be an excellent addition to your income, even if you don't have any startup money or advanced technical experience.
So, what exactly is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing involves advertising a product in exchange for a commission, usually a fraction of the product's price to customers. All of the sales tracking is done automatically - upon signing up for an affiliate program, you are given a unique link that is tied to your account. Every time a purchase is made via that link, you get paid.
Affiliate marketing is usually advertised or promoted on the affiliate's website, but it's not required. Since you're most likely new to affiliate marketing, you won't need a website, so don't worry about spending any money just yet.
So, how exactly are you going to advertise these products? One way is using Squidoo, a website made for people who want to create their own pages, called "lenses". These lenses allow you to post your own content, including text, links, and images - kind of like a blog. Squidoo is a great website for affiliate marketers due to its simplicity. All you have to do is pick a specific product you plan on promoting, setup a lens, and write a review that includes your affiliate link.
However, if you think Squidoo isn't right for you, there are article directories such as EzineArticles and Article Base. Just like you would do on Squidoo, all you have to do is write a review of the product you're promoting and add your affiliate link at the end of the article. While EzineArticles and Article Base aren't the only article directories you can use, they're the most popular, therefore getting you the traffic you need to earning an affiliate income without owning a website.
Writing may not be your thing, so creating videos and posting them on YouTube might sound better than having to type a review. A video is a great way to show how the product works or showing off what it can do. Your affiliate link can be placed in the video description.
The great thing about these methods is that generating traffic to your unique affiliate link isn't as difficult as it would be if you were doing this all on your own website. The websites mentioned above all have their own system which allows them to generate new traffic everyday, making it a great benefit for a beginner like yourself.

Affiliate Marketing: A Good Place To Start for Beginners

Affiliate Marketing is a great entry point for new starters into the internet information marketing world. You can run this from home, part-time, in your spare time. One of the main benefits is that you don't have to buy or create a product. The Merchant who owns the product you choose to promote will also supply you with plenty of free marketing tools. The start-up costs are minimal and inexpensive as all you will need to buy is an appropriate domain name and some web hosting. You will need a website, usually in the form of a blog, but don't panic as WordPress and Blogger are both free resources and are easy to set up. Now, those who know me will tell you I'm no technical expert but in my early marketing days I was able to follow the instructions, without asking for help, on both of the blog sites to put together my niche sites and I still use them today. When looking for a product to promote choose something that interests you or something you have knowledge of as th...

How To Set Up A Successful Pay-Per-Click Campaign

If you are familiar with Pay-Per-Click ads, then you know that these types of paid search marketing work by putting ads on the side bar of your search engine or web site and are used to bring people to your web site. The concept is pretty simple. You create an ad.You place a price upon its worth.And you submit it to a search engine. When someone clicks on that ad, you are charged a price for it and they end up on your web site. You only have to pay if someone clicks on it. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? But now for the tricky question. Are you getting your money's worth from these ads? Ninety-nine percent of the businesses that use this type of advertising do not understand it. They send people to their home page and don't even know why the person came there in the first place.
