As an affiliate marketer, it is a wise idea to have your own website. However, having a website is not a prerequisite for earning money as an affiliate marketer. Some ways of earning money as an affiliate marketer without a website include promoting your affiliate products on social media platforms, promoting exclusively on your email list, marketing on other people’s email lists, promoting your affiliate products on online communities and forums, running PPC ads, using publishing platforms like Medium, and so on. To earn money as an affiliate marketer, you only need to find a way to drive traffic to your affiliate links. It doesn’t matter how you do this, provided you get people to click on your links.  Therefore, it is not an absolute necessity for you to have a website in order to make money with affiliate marketing.
