Having your own website is probably a better means of promoting products in affiliate marketing, but the job can still be done without a website. All anyone needs to do is to direct traffic to the affiliate website where the customer makes the purchase. You need only your own affiliate link, which is used to credit your commission after the sale. You don’t have to be concerned with product shipping, payment processing, returns, and all the other hassles of customer service.
Here are some ways in which this is done:
1) Use PPC advertising.
Google and Yahoo are the main media here. Set up your ad, keywords, and affiliate link. The customer clicks and is directed to the affiliate website. You get your commission after the purchase.
2) Participation in forums and blogs.
No website needed. Just post comments and articles on relevant topics, leaving your affiliate link (cloaked) if the product is appropriate in the context of the discussion(s). DO NOT PUSH THE PRODUCT! Your post or article should not appear as an advertisement!
3) Write articles and submit them to directories.
Include your affiliate links as part of the resources at the end of the article. Significant traffic to the affiliate website can lead to sales and commissions.
4) Product reviews.
You can write these and post them on blogs, and websites. Leave your affiliate links. Customers are usually interested in product reviews, and this strategy can lead to significant sales and commissions.
5) Set up a blog.
Blogs can have all of the functionality of a website, and visitors and potential customers can leave comments or posts. Your own posts should include your affiliate links, if the product is congruent the context of the post.
This may very well result in sales and resulting commissions.
All of the above can be accomplished without a website. In fact, a well constructed blog with all the plug-ins is a powerful, elegant tool which can easily replace a website. For more info,please visit the site below:
