🚡 How to Promote Affiliate Links Without a Website or Ads




Free & Beginner-Friendly Strategies That Actually Work

Think you need a blog or ad budget to earn commissions? Think again. Here's how to get started with zero tech and zero spend.


🚨 Why This Matters

Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to start earning online. But most people think you must have:

  • A fancy website

  • A paid email service

  • Or a big budget for Facebook or Google ads

The truth is, you don’t need any of that to start. In fact, you can build your first 100-subscriber list and make sales without spending a cent on ads or building a website.


✅ 5 Proven Ways to Promote Affiliate Links Without a Website or Ads


1. Use Google Docs as Mini Landing Pages

Turn a simple Google Doc into a high-value mini-guide, checklist, or resource list.

  • Add your affiliate links naturally

  • Share it on social media, forums, or in emails

  • Bonus: Google indexes Docs too, SEO juice!

Example: "Free Affiliate Tools I Use (No Website Needed)", then link your tool affiliate offers inside the doc.


2. Publish Medium Articles With Affiliate Links

Medium.com is free, high-authority, and ranks well on Google.

  • Write "How to" or "Best tools for X" style articles

  • Use storytelling + link to your affiliate offers

  • Add a call-to-action at the end (ex: "Want the full checklist? Get it here [link]")

Medium lets you reach readers already searching for solutions.


3. Promote in Facebook Groups (Without Being Spammy)

Join niche-related groups and provide real value before posting.

  • Share useful insights or mini tutorials

  • Drop a Google Doc or Medium article link, not your raw affiliate link

  • Answer questions and help people

Always lead with value, not links. Be helpful first.


4. Leverage Free Traffic Platforms like LeadsLeap

Sites like LeadsLeap let you:

  • Add affiliate links to your profile

  • Use their ad widgets to get traffic

  • Share affiliate blogs and pages from their dashboard

  • Build a list with built-in tools and send emails for free

Great for people just starting out who don’t want to invest in paid tools yet.

LeadsLeap also gives you a link tracker, autoresponder, and page builder all in one, free.


5. Use Link-in-Bio Tools on Social Profiles

Instagram, Facebook, and even TikTok allow you to post a single link. Use that space wisely.

  • Tools like Linktree, Beacons, or LeadsLeap let you share multiple affiliate offers

  • Include your lead magnet or freebie guide here too

  • Post content that naturally leads people to your profile


💡 Quick Bonus Strategy: Email Without a Website

Start collecting emails with a free tool like LeadsLeap or by offering a Google Doc freebie.

Then follow up using:

  • Free email systems like LeadsLeap

  • Or MAP’s built-in 90-day follow-up system

Is Your Traffic Actually Sabotaging You? Read This Before Sending Another Click

I used to think traffic was the problem. Or the lack of it, rather. “If I could just get more eyeballs on my link,” I’d whisper to myself like some sort of digital incantation while watching my email open rate crawl at 8.3%. That was a few years ago. I’ve since learned something odd, not all traffic is good traffic . In fact, some of it is trash. Worse, it’s a poison drip into your systems. 🚨 More Traffic ≠ More Sales People online talk about “driving traffic” like it’s some mystical rite of passage. But no one tells you what kind of traffic you’re driving, or where it’s heading. You wouldn’t pump diesel into a Ferrari, right? That’s what a lot of affiliates are doing. Bleeding money. Burning leads. Getting ghosted by their own lists. I did. I once paid for a traffic package that promised "real human visitors." Spoiler: they were real human disinterested strangers who bounced faster than a ping pong ball on pavement. I felt like I'd just paid for ghosts. Let’s unpack it...

The Psychology of Email: Writing Messages People Actually Want to Open

  The Psychology of Email: Writing Messages People Actually Want to Open Email marketing is still one of the most powerful tools for building relationships and driving sales. But here’s the hard truth: people’s inboxes are flooded every single day. If your email looks like one of the dozens of promotional blasts they already ignore, it will never get opened, let alone read. The difference between emails that get ignored and emails that spark curiosity lies in psychology. Understanding how people think, what triggers curiosity, and why we click can transform your email marketing results. This article breaks down the key psychological principles behind writing emails people actually want to open and read. Why Psychology Matters in Email Marketing At its core, email marketing is not about sending information. It is about starting conversations, building trust, and guiding readers toward taking action. Every subject line, sentence, and call-to-action is competing for attention against ...
