"Website
Or
No
Website...That's The Question!"
Mike

Overview
Do you want to make money
through the
Internet but you don't have enough experience or capital to start your
own online business? You don't have to worry, for a lot of online
marketing options exist for you to start with. One of these
options, and shall I say the best, is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing provides first time online marketers like you the
chance to market something online even without having your own product
to sell. All you have to do is to sign up with an affiliate
marketing program, which is usually owned by an online merchant or
retailer, and start picking the products you want to promote. As
an affiliate, you are paid by the merchant for your services on a
commission basis, that is whenever you have directed a visitor to the
merchant's site and the visitor actually buys something.
Becoming an affiliate in an affiliate marketing program is often quick
and easy, and for most affiliate programs, signing up is also
free. But despite these and all the benefits being promised by
affiliate programs, many people are still hesitant to get into
affiliate marketing. One of the reasons why a lot of people
remain hesitant is the lack of a website to start marketing his
affiliate products with.
This now leads us to the
question of whether a website is required or necessary in affiliate
marketing or not.
Many people say that one can do affiliate marketing even without a
website to start with. Actually, one can really start promoting
and marketing his affiliate products even without a website; and there
exist a lot of ways on how this can be done.
In fact, many affiliate
marketing strategies that leads to success can exist without actually
needing a website.
Thomas
Dekker said, " To awaken each morning
with a smile
brightening my face; to greet the day with reverence for the
opportunities it contains; to approach my work with a clean mind; to
hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the Ultimate
Purpose toward which I am working; to meet men women with laughter on
my lips and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous through
all the hours; to approach the night with weariness that ever woos
sleep and the joy that comes from work well done--this is how I desire
to waste wisely my days."

Strategies
Among these strategies are email marketing, offline promotions, writing
e-books, writing ezines and engaging in online discussions like forums,
chats, message boards and others.
*Email Marketing
Email marketing, or maintaining email lists, is actually the most
popular affiliate marketing strategy that doesn't require the affiliate
to maintain a website. In this affiliate marketing strategy, what
you basically do is maintain a list of the email ads of your
prospective customers and provide them with articles that are relevant
with the affiliate products and programs you are promoting.
Articles that you provide your contacts with need not always be
promotional, for many individuals find such types of email
annoying. Rather, it would be better if you provide them with
something informative and just add small text ads that link to your
merchant's site.
*Offline Promotion
There are many ways on how you can promote your affiliate products
offline. Among the common medium used for such promotions are
classified ads, brochures and flyers. Classified ads would
generally work better compared to the other two because classified ads
in periodicals often get a wider audience.
*Writing Free e-books
If you have a knack in writing, writing an e-book can be the best way
for you to promote your affiliate products in the absence of an actual
website. Just like in emails and newsletters, your readers would
better appreciate your e-book if it is not too promotional but rather
informative. Be sure, however, to make the contents of your
e-books
relative to the actual affiliate products you are promoting. And
just
like in email marketing, you can just place text ads or banners
somewhere near the end of your e-book that links to the merchant's
site.

*Writing Free Ezines
Ezines are publications or articles that aim to inform individuals
about a particular topic. If you don't have a website and yet
want to be an affiliate, you can well use ezines to promote your
affiliate products or to insert links to your merchant's site.
If you have a website, your ezine article may actually work well as
content for your site. But since you have no website, you can
just submit your free ezine articles to various websites that hosts
ezines, like goarticles.com, ezinearticles.com and others.
*Online discussions (Forums, Chats, Message Boards, etc.)
With or without a website, you just can't ignore online discussions
because they are great venues for marketing your affiliate
products. In chats, forums, message boards and discussion boards
with topics related to your products, you can easily find people who
may be interested with the products you are promoting.
With all these strategies, it may appear that one really doesn't need
to have a website to start marketing his affiliate products and
promoting his affiliate programs. Well, starting in an affiliate
program without a website may be easy, but getting successful in
affiliate marketing without a website is another thing.
While one can actually gain enormous success in affiliate marketing
even without a website, it is a rare instance that "newbies" like you
can reach the same levels of success.
Having a website is not really a pre-requisite in entering into an
affiliate program, unless otherwise the program owner would require you
to have one. But while this is so, I would still recommend that
you have for yourself a website, if not now, then maybe at a later
time.
Having a website creates a lot of advantages in affiliate
marketing. For one, it provides you a place where you can
creatively promote not only one of your affiliate products but all of
your affiliate products. With a website, you can also advertise
your affiliate products to a wider market.
Summary
Again, having a website is not a requirement in affiliate
marketing. But with the advantages that a website can provide,
I'd rather have one for myself and make affiliate marketing a lot
easier for me.
