There are some essential tools you will need, but a website needn’t be one of them.

Ok, a website is useful, even more so if you sell your own products. But if you are an affiliate salesperson, you don’t need your own site.

For affiliate marketing, there is in truth only one tool you need and that is an autoresponder. You need a great autoresponder that will allow you broadcast messages to contact list that you will build. I have found that free autoresponder programs will not let you do this, so you need to invest about $15 per month in a good autoresponder. Believe me this will be one of best investments you ever make in your online business. And, since autoresponder programs are affiliate programs themselves, you can promote your autoresponder program and sooner or later have it pay for itself.

This is a straightforward marketing system that will promote your affiliate program without your own website:

1. The marketing system is to establish yourself as an expert on products you are promoting. You wil do this by creating content: first, by posting in related content forums and submitting articles to article directories, secondly, by starting your own ezine or newsletter, and thirdly, by personally contacting ezine owners and offering your article for publication in their ezine. For a free list of article directories I submit to, send a blank email to directories@homebasedbusinesstraining.com
