What is Affiliate Marketing
First before diving into the methods to promote affiliate products without a website.
Let’s quickly see what actually affiliate marketing is and some of its benefits too.
Affiliate marketing is a process of promoting other people’s products and when someone buys a product from your affiliate link then you would get a commission.
You get a commission from the cost of the product without charging the buyer anything extra.
Now you might be thinking that why product owners are using affiliate marketing as it is reducing their profits?
It is because the ROI of affiliate marketing is much higher than online ads and that’s why product owners open the referral program of their product as it helps them get more sales.
Here are some more benefits of affiliate marketing:
- Helps you make some cash by promoting other people’s products.
- Affiliate marketing is a low-cost business model.
- It is a high ROI model for businesses to get more sales.
Do you need a website to promote affiliate marketing products?
No, you don’t necessarily need a website to promote affiliate marketing products.
Yes, having a website can boost your conversion rate but this doesn’t mean that you can’t do affiliate marketing without a blog or a website.
To do affiliate marketing you have to establish your online presence which you can easily do using social media.
Just pick any one social media, put awesome content there, time to time present them some offers that would give some value, and if they buy it from your affiliate link then you would get a commission.
Also, you can provide some free lead magnets to your audience in return for their email address which would help you build your email list where you can give them offers from time to time.
Trust me there are a lot of ways to do affiliate marketing without a website but first, you have to trust yourself and the process as well.
6 Ways to promote affiliate marketing products without a website
Here are 6 ways to promote affiliate marketing products without a website.
1. Social media
The simplest way to do affiliate marketing without a website is by using Social media.
A lot of affiliate marketers are using this medium to drive affiliate sales.
In this process, you first have to pick a social media that you like, make valuable content for it, engage with the audience and try every content format present on it.
In between, you can add affiliate links to your social media posts which would help you get some sales.
Also, you can provide a step-by-step tutorial to use the product you are promoting in a social media post and at the end, you can add your affiliate link.
It is a more profitable way to drive affiliate sales.
2. By making YouTube videos
YouTube is booming right now. People are learning new skills from YouTube.
You can also start your YouTube channel in a niche, post videos there, give tutorials of the products you are promoting, add your affiliate links in the description and when a viewer buys from it then you would get a commission.
Trust me you don’t need a fancy camera or a mic to generate affiliate sales from YouTube just you have to deliver quality content through your videos.
Along with that, your videos should have a clicky thumbnail and title, it should have keywords in your video title and description, and more.
All these things would help your videos to rank, gain viewers and get more sales.
Here are some more tips to do affiliate marketing on YouTube
- Create engaging content with crisp editing
- Don’t push affiliate links all the time give value through your videos
- Do proper SEO of your videos like adding meta description, tags, headline, and more
3. Facebook
Facebook is my favorite social media platform. I love to use it.
Many marketers in recent times keep saying that Facebook reach is dead and you can’t grow on it.
But it is not true because many affiliate marketers are using this platform to increase their brand reach and affiliate sales.
They are doing this by creating awesome content on this platform, connecting with similar people, and instead of pushing affiliate links all the time they give value to their audience.
4. Instagram reels
Instagram reels are the newest trend in the market people are getting a lot of engagement and affiliate sales through it.
However, getting affiliate sales are not that easy through Instagram as they don’t give you an option to add links to your post.
You can only use the links in your Instagram story or your Instagram bio link.
To make affiliate income through reels you have to use Linktree which helps you make a page where you can place all your affiliate links.
After that, you can add its link in your Instagram bio and tell your viewers about it.
It would help you generate affiliate sales.
But to generate affiliate income you have to provide value to your audience from your content first.
5. Online Ads
Ads are a quick way to get more affiliate sales without having your website.
However, to run it you have to invest some money into it.
There is a simple process of doing affiliate marketing through ads.
First, you have to use a landing page builder like Leadpages or Unbounce to build a landing page for the product you are promoting.
Next, you have to run Facebook or Google ads for that landing page. However, I don’t prefer Google ads for affiliate marketing as Google suspends these types of ads.
At last, the traffic would come to your landing page, and when someone would buy the product you are promoting you would get a commission.
But to drive more affiliate sales through your landing page should have short and crisp copywriting.
Also, you should include testimonials, CTAs, etc which would help you maximize your affiliate sales.
6. Email marketing

Email marketing is one of the highest ROI methods on this list.
Do you know that the average value of an email subscriber is $48.87? Huge isn’t it?
So, if you want more affiliate sales then start building your email list from today.
There are two ways you can build your email list:
First is the landing page method which is similar to what I have told you above. Instead of promoting your affiliate product, you can promote your email list by giving a free lead magnet in return for their email address on your landing page.
Or you can promote it organically to your audience as well.
So, after collecting emails you need an email marketing tool such as ActiveCampaign or Convertkit to send emails to your email subscribers.
And in that emails, you can promote your affiliate links which would help you get some affiliate sales.
Over to you!
Driving affiliate sales is not rocket science! You can easily make it by providing valuable content to your audience.
Instead of giving a sales pitch about your affiliate product tell them the process of how the tool you are promoting can cause a change to their life or business and they will surely buy it.
