No web site required that's impossible, right? Wrong! Alternative methods exist to build a repository that serves the same function as a web site. Best of all at least one of these methods is absolutely FREE!
Contrary to what most experts claim, you do NOT need to build a web site for making money on the net. As an affiliate marketer, you have alternative ways to pre-sell products.
Clearly, you need a web-site-like pre-sell tool, but why struggle to build a site or pay someone to create a site when simpler methods exist. After all, according to Wikipedia, "the only thing you need to do to make money as an affiliate is to direct web traffic to the publisher's sales page."
The Best Example
The best example of a tool for making money on the net is squidoo.com. It ranks high in google, and you can create a web-site-like set of pages without programming effort except for a bit of HyperText Markup Language (if you want). HTML examples can be found easily on the web, so it's not an issue.
Best of all, you can link directly to a product sell page with anchor text or via pictures.
Features
A short list of squidoo features is as follows:
* The main component of a squidoo lens is called a text module, kinda a misnomer because you can add pictures.
* Hundreds of widgets to add callouts, bigger pictures, RSS feeds, Amazon, and ebay modules, etc.
* Automatic traffic statistics.
* Bio box with pictures.
* Loads of support lenses.
Limitation
The only limitation that would affect someone who's interested in making money on the net, so as soon as your lens gets even a wee bit spammy, you may be subject to a review by the Squidoo gods. And you do NOT want the gods to know you approached spammy.
