I personally feel that doing affiliate marketing without your own website is not the best way to make money from home. I also understand that when people first get started it is an advantage to use the website provided by the affiliate merchant.

I got started this way, and you can make money this way as well.

1. What do you want to sell? Niche marketing is a great way to take advantage of affiliate marketing. Finding a product to sell that people are spending money on is a good way to start making money right away.

Targeting a niche makes sense because you limit your competition a little bit. With hundreds of millions of websites online you need every advantage you can get.

2. Don't sell. Affiliate marketing is generally thought of as a business model where you make money selling things.

However, I personally have made a lot of money taking advantage of a couple other opportunities to make money as an affiliate.

One of the most popular is Google Adsense. You can get paid by the click when people click on ads. Start a free blog at Blogger.com and join the Google Adsense affiliate program for free.

Doing this means you do not need to build a website, but can use the blogging platform Google offers. You can also strategically place ads without knowing any HTML coding.

One other way to make money is to get leads for companies. Cost per action programs are available that provide you opportunities to make a little bit of money per lead, or up to several hundred dollars in highly profitable niches.

3. Email marketing. Get an autoresponder and start getting leads into it.

One way to do this is to purchase co-registration leads. Get Response is an autoresponder company that will do this for you. There are other companies that will allow you to buy a high quantity of leads and they will put them into an autoresponder for you.

You can also promote splash pages provided by affiliate merchants and have the leads go into your own autoresponder. I like to do this and use the Aweber autoresponder.

The main point here is once you have the name and email address of a new subscriber you can begin to follow up with them. This is a good way to promote your affiliate website and make sales on a long term basis.

These are a few examples how you could do affiliate marketing with no personal website. Eventually you may want to build websites of your own. At first don't let the fact you do not have a websites stop you from getting started making money as an affiliate.
