How do I start affiliate marketing with no money to put down for sponsored advert campaigns?

Well to be honest it is not going to be easy. Free traffic is not really free you are going to need a lot of time. But the most important phase is to be able to collect email addresses of those looking at your offers.

First you need an email service provider. I use Aweber and you can get a one month trial. There is also Getresponse which offers a trial for $1. Then there is mailchimp which is free for up to 2000 subscribers but the catch is affiliate marketing is against their terms of service so I highly recommend not using them. You don’t want to lose what you work hard to build.

Next you are going to need products to promote. You can set up accounts at Instant Commission Platform for Sellers and Affiliates (http://JVzoo.com), clickbank.com, and WarriorPlus (http://warriorplus.com). There are others but these will get you going. Products on JVzoo and Warriorplus require permission whereas clickbank does not as long as you have an account in good standing.


Once you have permission to sell a product you can promote is on social media. This is most effective if your audience is interested in the niche that your products serve. So you want to build a friends list with people who are interested in your niche. Lets use the make money online niche.

There are many Facebook groups that are about making money online. Join 2 to 3 of these and begin to invite those posting, liking and commenting in the groups. Interact with them on Facebook often. Now keep in mind Facebook does not like it when you invite to many people so keep it to 20 per day or you will end up being banned.

Now when sharing your offer just dumping it in your news feed is not going to make you a killing you need to be more than a spammer. but some really simple posts work like “Newbies are making $500 per month with this.

If interested leave a comment for more info”. After folks comment send them a message with your link. Your link should not go directly to your offer but to a form you have created using your email service provider form generator.

This is low cost, it is ugly but it WORKS. Tips to make this work seem less. Remove opt in emails and only ask for an email address. Your form should look like this

The next step is to place your offer link in the thank you page url. So when people give there email and hit the submit button bingo they get your offer.

Now regardless of whether they buy or not you are building your list and can send more offers to them on a daily basis. Want to see this in action just go here Low Cost, Ugly Lead Capture Page
