As I've mentioned so far with both YouTube and revenue share sites, the possibilities of earning money online without a website are HUGE with affiliate marketing. What keeps many people from going after affiliate sales is they think they need to set up a blog or website to actually make anything but that isn't true!
While a blog or site is a traditional way to get affiliate sales, social media can be a powerful tool all by itself no website required! Like most things worth doing, building up an audience that will actually buy what you're selling takes some time. So, don't expect to tweet an affiliate link and have sales rolling in.
Instead, work on building your social media following the right way (no buying followers, please!). Part of this includes:
- Build trust with your audience (provide high quality, valuable information) Promote products you use or can stand behind Don't oversell (all of your posts shouldn't contain affiliate links!)
A properly set up Facebook fan page can be a great way to make money through affiliate marketing. You can set up a fan page for anything you'd like. I've known two people who have killed it with affiliate sales on Facebook just from fan pages what are their pages about? One is about yoga and the other is about vintage cars.
They picked popular niche topics, set up a page, got as many likes as they could and started posting highly relevant, engaging, and targeted posts and, yes, some of them are posts containing affiliate links but certainly not all of them.
Keep in mind, the more likes you have on your page, the greater your engagement which turns into more sales. If you're serious about Facebook as a means to make money online without a website, it's worth promoting your page with Facebook ads. Even if you're on the tightest budget, Facebook ads are super affordable when done right.
