Im nearly 17 and pretty low on cash, was wondering which is the best method to begin affiliate for free. Is wix or any other of these free sites good for beginners or is google sites any good? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the reply, I have not decided a particular product yet however I am looking to market a product under the category health and fitness on clickbank. I possibly stretch to £50 to £90 if that would be needed to generate traffic. When my brother started affiliate marketing he said forums were a great place to generate some free traffic along with Facebook groups, however he started back in 2007 I believe. I understand that those methods are probably not viable in 2021 due to how saturated the market is now. Do you think google sites is the way to go for now then when I start to see success maybe go for paid hosting?Hey Aiden L,
Affiliate marketing with free methods is possible but it's slow. I understand that you are low on cash but the untold story is that you need some form of capital to succeed in this game.
I have no prior experience with wix for AM. I do know have few google sites properties and I also experimented with medium, quora and youtube.
In my opinion the best way to start AM with free methods is youtube channel, google sites, medium.com and quora.com. At least these are the platforms i have experience with for ways of driving free traffic to your offer.
While it's a good idea to check platforms or traffic methods, I think you may want to first decide what kind of niche market you will enter. I mean have you thought about any particular offer you would like to promote?
Once you are clear on the offer/niche then you can assess the best traffic methods to generate sales in this particular niche.
I am happy to answer any particular questions you may have on google sites given that you mention it in your query.

Thanks I will look into a tracker seems like a very useful tool to have in the arsenal.- Health/Fitness is a great niche... Select your offer wisely (= try to select a quality offer)
- Why would FB groups not work today? They surely seem to work for other marketers so they can work for you...
Forums, might be tougher but if you find an active forum and carefully read their terms of service (as they might be against any promotions)... They can work as well...
- Yes I would switch to a paid option as soon as you can!
I would also suggest you invest some time in learning how a tracker can help you! This tool will tell you where your clicks are coming from and if they convert... To be honest you can do this without tracking... (it will tell you what seems to work and what doesn't so you know where to concentrate your efforts)
Don't worry, just ask!!! (to be honest there are stupid questions, the answers might be though)@GriD
Apologies if my questions sound stupid.
@GriD
This site was created about October last year and did not really generate many sales due to how I set it. I deactivated or terminated the website at about december time.

I was looking on clickbank to see products to promote (something kinda small scale) and found this battery reconditioning company, so I did some research there's pretty decent monthly searches with very low competition. I made a quick article and rough website using google sites but now just have to wait and see if it works.You may have terminated your wix site too early. Oct-Dec is not long enough to generate a significant amount of traffic.
Remember : traffic + offer + conversion = $$$
Were you counting on free traffic with wix? If yes, was your article optimized for a low competition keyword? If people are not seeing your offer then obviously you will not earn money from your effort.
I would say invest in shared hosting if you can (to begin with).
The way I use google sites is to leverage the power of the domain to rank low competition keywords/review articles on page #1 of google for free traffic.
It's definitively faster to rank there than using wix or a new website.
Here is what I usually do:
- pick a low competition keyword in your niche (long tail if possible)
-write a quality review article on your chosen product/offer
-create a google site with the same article optimized for your chosen keyword
-let it sit for 2-4 weeks to see where it ranks on google. You can do that by opening an incognito window in chrome and typing your keyword. Check page 1-3 to see where your article/site shows up.
If you want to build a complete site on google sites then ensure that you install google analytics and add your site to google search console for speedy discovery and indexing.
It's a free method that may take up 2-5hrs of your time to setup and then the rest is a waiting game.
You can even share your link in niche relevant groups if you want to.
Also i may have terminated the site too quickly, thanks for letting me know for next timeYou may have terminated your wix site too early. Oct-Dec is not long enough to generate a significant amount of traffic.

Thanks Graybeard I will try thattry it on the cheap ...
make a social media post that is psychologically like a pre-lander and buy ads directed to that post.
in that post have a link using a link shortner to the offer
You can experiment with buying traffic and have a 'free server'
as you get more sophisticated add a tracker to the links
ad -->link-->tracker-->social media-->tracker-->clickbank
this way you can learn the process and hopefully --make some more money ...
Yep thats the one, thanks for informing me so i can put my effort to something that will hopefully have some success. Any recommendations for which types of products sell the best? I heard health and fitness products normally sell well but is there any others?Recondition Your Old Batteries Back To 100% Of Their Working Condition this one?
I can't find the post here --but EZBATTERY was a waste of time and money for me.

I don't know for fact that it will not sell with the right traffic --with cold ads using a few ad networks it didn't convert after 2900 hits shown by ClickBank's stats. Maybe, with email or some other method? These were both direct and using a landing page as a test.
My gut hunch is it was just not believable --so it didn't sell. I could be wrong but no would spent their money to find out even with a money back guarantee that ClickBank offers ROFLMO Joke's is on me I lost $30 in ads.
I’m sorry you lost $30, yeah it could possibly be that it was unbelievable and a bit suspicious. After you informed me that it’s a lost cause I went down the rabbit hole of research and I think it could [possibly] be a scam or a con. I also checked out the competition and it seem they were not doing too hot either. People claim to make hundreds/thousands a month from it but I don’t have a clue how they generate this sort of income with this specific niche.I don't know for fact that it will not sell with the right traffic --with cold ads using a few ad networks it didn't convert after 2900 hits shown by ClickBank's stats.
