What Is An Affiliate Marketing Website?
Affiliate marketing website is simply a website that promotes affiliate products in exchange for commissions. Affiliate marketing websites refer people to products/services that fit their needs. For every sale that you generate, you will earn a commission.
The goal of an affiliate marketing website should never be selling. Instead the goal should be helping people solve a problem.
Affiliate marketing is not about selling. It’s about connecting people, who have a need, with a solutions to their problems.

Do You Need A Website To Be An Affiliate Marketer?
No, you don’t need a website to be an affiliate marketer. You can do affiliate marketing on YouTube, Pinterest, social media, email and other platforms.
The only thing you need is an audience that is interested in your affiliate products.
However, having a website is always the best option in my opinion. Why? Because you own the website and have full control over it. If you do affiliate marketing without a website, you will always be depended on some platform. If something happens to that platform, your traffic can disappear overnight.
That’s why having a website for affiliate marketing is your best option. And you can always do affiliate marketing on other platforms as well to drive additional traffic to your offers.

How Long Does It Take To Be A Successful Affiliate Marketer?
The good thing with affiliate marketing is that you can start seeing results in just 1 year. That’s relatively fast, compared to other business models.
However, how long it will take to succeed with affiliate marketing depends on several factors, such as:
- how committed you are
- how much time you dedicate to it
- your competition
- what methods you use
- the training program that you follow
These are just some of the factors that play a role in your affiliate marketing success. But the one that I think has most impact is the training program you follow.
Most affiliate training programs are just meant to take your money. I have reviewed many of them on this website, and yet, there is only ONE affiliate training program that I recommend.
