How it is possible : To earn money by Affiliate Marketing without website?

As told earlier, there are very limited options to make money from Affiliate Marketing without a website, so suggested to create a website. It could be of at least one page, which takes not more than half an hour. If you have a good number of friends and followers of your facebook page, google plus, twitter, linkedin, pinterest etc. then without a website first of all, very few affiliate programms allow codes to place on social sites, and these are also some social sites which treat this affiliate links as a spam , hence my suggestion is create a website of at least of a single page, put the affiliate links on that website and redirect your social sites traffic to your 1 page website , which will give much better results.
