Free Ways to Get Started with Affiliate Marketing…
Here’s a question I received today…
I’ve just received the email and now have complete access to your website. From what I’m understanding, I now need a website (which I don’t have nor know how to get one. I thought you would be providing this. I’m definitely not website & internet savvy.) Also, from the Quick Start portion, I’m needing also web hosting and to purchase a domain. I’m currently unemployed and desperate for immediate cash, but I think I’m being asked to spend money at this point. Is this the case? Please advise.
Dear Affiliate,
You can use your affiliate links as a website if you’d like. We simply recommend building a website so you have an ongoing business for years to come. It’s simply a fact that building an online presence makes solid business sense.
However, I understand your concerns and here are some options for you to get started promoting the affiliate program without spending a dime…
1. Create a Squidoo Lens:
Here is a simple way to create a page where you can promote your affiliate links.
2. Posting on Forums:
Here is some information about promoting your affiliate link on forums.
3. Set up a blogger blog:
It could not possibly be easier to set up a blog with http://blogger.com . Just select a name, then a template, and start writing.
Of course, these aren’t our preferred methods to build a long-term business. You will want your own website and your own list down the road, but, we understand that, some of you don’t have any money to invest in your business right now and would prefer to get started without any roadblocks in your way.
