Part 1
The first thing I must tell you is that Affiliate marketing is not “easy” and you probably won’t make hundreds of thousands of pounds overnight. I have been testing and trying different things for over a year now, just on Clickbank products.
This is going to sound like an advert, but until I found Nichechoppers I really was just playing around with it. Norb provides amazing graphics and assistance with all of his products, just check out his everLoss product at the moment and show me another publisher who will give you a ready made minisite with such amazing graphics. All you need is a domain, a web hosting account, a basic html editor (notepad works if you don’t have cash) and then ftp software to upload a ready-made site already SEO optimised.
If you literally have no money, try squidoo or synthasite. Synthasite will literally allow you to have your own site with no adverts whereas Squidoo is covered in Adsense ads. An example of one of my squidoo pages is http://www.squidoo.com/efficient-planet
I produced this very quickly using affiliate materials from several publisher sites. It is simple and to the point with cloaked affiliate links to the publishers sites.
An example of one of my synthasite pages is http://10minuteforexreview.synthasite.com which I created as a landing page for PPC adverts. The bonus with doing this with synthasite is that you will also rank well in search engine results if you have good website titles and good content.
In my opinion this landing page looks very professional but was made just from content provided by publishers. You will note that the affiliate links I have used in this example have not been cloaked and include a “tid” that tells me that the hops came from adwords traffic. This allows me to track conversion rates.
I hope this gives a few examples of how to start affiliate marketing for free, also known as BUM Marketing.
In Part 2 I will explain a bit about Article Writing.
Any more questions, please write a comment.

Hi James,
I appreciate you taking the time to give me insight into starting affiliate marketing. I am viewing the information you have provided and look forward to your next entry on article writing.
So…I am thinking that my next step is to register with clickbank or cj and research campaigns to promote?
Thank you so much again for taking the time to respond. I have emailed other gurus and affiliates, but YOU have been the only one to actually respond to my questions.
I can’t thank you enough.
