Blogging is not the only way to make money as an affiliate marketer.

You can identify a problem, start an affiliate niche site about it, and make money as an Amazon Associate (this massive guide to Amazon Affiliate Program will tell you everything you need to know).

In some niches, you don’t even need to create a website to earn as an affiliate marketer. You can sell products directly from your email list.

Let me quickly explain how.

• Identify a need or a problem with consistent consumer demand. For example, millions of people want to lose weight to feel good about themselves and live more active and healthy lives.
• Now find products on Amazon, ClickBank, CJ, or any other affiliate network that can help people solve those problems.
• Instead of directly promoting those products, create a lead magnet like a free eBook or video tutorial that shares tips on weight loss, healthy living, fitness or any other topic that addresses the core problem of your audience.
• Place the lead magnet on a landing page with an opt-in form (here’s a detailed guide to creating highly optimized landing pages).
• Create an email autoresponder series that shares free tips and recommends the right products to your subscribers (with your affiliate links).
• Promote your lead magnet using Facebook Ads.

This is how the process will work when your Facebook Ad goes live.

• You’ll drive traffic from Facebook to your landing page.
• Visitors will download the lead magnet by joining your email list
• The moment they become email subscribers, they’ll start receiving emails with product recommendations.
• You’ll make money every time your subscribers purchase the products you recommend.
