As they say on the Iron Islands, “What’s free, you don’t have to pay for.” We turned to an unrivaled expert on freeganism, hitchhiking and other life hacks of the capitalist world, with a question on how to work in affiliate marketing without investment. Spoiler – for free.
We expected to see some version of a modern hippie, and even secretly put an aromatic Christmas tree in our pocket, just in case. But we were met by an elderly man in shabby but expensive clothes. He was sitting on a chaise lounge under a spreading tree, and vineyards were spread out in front of him. “Of course, none of this is mine, but you’d be surprised how much good you can get for free.” We were already surprised and prepared to hear about an easy life without investment.
“First, you need to choose the right niche. Their classification is quite a confusing thing, but some niches require much less investment than others. Organic traffic, that’s our goal, and here anything that you understand or are at least interested in will do. This is important, for example, I love life in all its manifestations, and that’s why it’s easier for me. Whatever I undertake, everything brings me joy. Yes, unhealthy optimism is also very, very important.”
“Since we don’t want to spend money on advertising, due to the lack of it, we will need offers with advantageous offers. Something like promo codes, coupons, conditionally free trial versions, everything that literally advertises itself. You already know my attitude to the world, for me everything around is beautiful, and this tree, which I did not grow, but I use its shade and these vineyards, which I did not cultivate, but I admire them, not this chaise lounge, which of course is not mine, but I sit on it. Not to mention the completely free clouds, sunset light and pleasant weather, to which I have nothing to do at all, but I enjoy them completely free of charge. Yes, with offers everything is exactly the same, take it and use it for your pleasure.”
“Next we will have to work hard, as sad as it is. We will have to create content. It is sad and you are wasting precious time (the good news is that time is also given to you for free, the bad news is that it is not infinite for you), but you can place your content for free. It is up to you whether you choose video hosting, platforms for free blogs, create your own channel in a messenger, or all at once. All this can be done absolutely for free. These words sound like a joyful song, don’t they? For free, for free, for free.”
“And when you have all these wonderful free things: a niche, an offer, and almost free content, oh, well, all that’s left is to make a profit. Almost. You can also use free services with mailings and do completely free SEO optimization. Now that’s it. Make money without investing. And then it’s up to you, you can invest the profits you get and expand your affiliate business, proudly telling Forbes in an interview that “you started your business from scratch.” Or not invest, because it’s so easy to get used to the fact that everything is free. Everything is free, everything is free, everything is free-o-o-o.”
