Hello, today I'm going to answer the question do you need an actual website to be a successful affiliate marketer?

The short answer is no you don't. There are both pros and cons to having a website. The pro is that you own the space on the internet. Nobody can take that from you.

If You grow a YouTube channel, Instagram account or write Linkedin articles your account can be terminated and you don't own the space. However, I would argue that most likely your accounts will not be banned, so I'm not really worried about this.

If you want to be an affiliate marketer without a website you can still own the list, which is the most important part. When I mean a list is that names and email address of people that are interested in your topic.

You might be wondering how you can even build a list without a website. There are tools like Leadpages and Instapage that do allow you to quickly put up a simple one-page site to capture this information and they walk you through it.

You don't need an internet domain, hosting or spend tons of money. What is even more cool is you can do affiliate marketing without even building a list.

This might sound crazy, but you can partner with other marketers to build their list and still make very good money.

This is more like the franchise way, and I really think it can be a wonderful idea, especially if you are just starting out. Of course it depends on the program. It don't want to do the CPA thing. This is where you make a few dollars for getting someone a lead.

A few things to look for if you go this route is you should be keeping a larger percentage of the money.

There are programs where you can keep 100% percentage of the money up front and share some of the deep sales. When I mean deep sales I the high ticket items, this is where most of the money is made. This is where you can earn $1,000 to $4,000 and up on 1 sale.

This is what you want and these programs are out there. A big disadvantage of building a website is spending too much time on making it look perfect. Quality is more attached to your ego than the results.

Another big negative with starting your own website is the authority.

Google will not trust your site in the beginning and it's harder to get ranking. If you write articles on Medium, Linkedin and make YouTube videos Google will trust those platforms more.

A positive with creating your own website is that you can sale the site if you want. My thoughts is all this customization of a website and maybe you can sale it, and should you put adsense on it – just makes things more difficult.

I encourage you to focus on all the income producing activities first. Make the money first and then if you want the perfect YouTube thumbnail you can do that.

To sum everything up so it's very simple. The easiest way to make money with affiliate mark
