Yes! You don't have to write a first-person review or create a tutorial in order to get started with affiliate marketing. (Or, if you already own an item that you can promote with an affiliate link, you can use that product to create content.) By researching the products or services you promote, like by reading other reviews of the item, you can confidently promote it on your website without spending money to buy the item yourself. The key is to genuinely promote items that you believe in. If you're going to build a blog or website for affiliate marketing, you'll have to pay for hosting and a domain name, which can cost less than $20 for a whole year. And if you're going to market on social media only, you won't even have to spend that much when you're getting started.
