    You need a website to get accepted to Amazon's Affiliate Program. I'm not sure about eBay though.

    It's not that difficult to create a website and get a cheap domain name and hosting (or even free hosting). Just use wordpress. There's tons of tutorials online about how to use wordpress and they're pretty simple.

    Also, you might be able to promote products through an email list. Although you need to check their TOS and see if they allow it.

    Dude..... A info domain is what.. 1buck? Hosting 3-4 bucks a month.
    You tell me you can't afford hosting a product review site?

    Everything's possible.

    Here's just some thoughts (not that I use these tactics anymore) I prefer to do business in the house.

    -You can set up your own Squidoo or Hubpages and promote affiliate offers.
    -You can build free blogs on any free blogging platform and start promoting right away.
    -You can use Youtube or any other video sharing website to promote affiliate offers (either in your resource box or by watermarking the videos with a redirect to -your own domain name)
    -You can offer/sell free ebook on forums and include affiliate offers in those ebooks.
    -You can use file sharing/torrent sites to promote your affiliate programs ...

    There's endless ways to earn as an affiliate without even having your website.

    Al.

    if you want to make real money, or good money, starting a website is a lot easier, and I don't think amazon accepts affiliates without websites

    Make sure you have a website, they won't even let you in their network without one. Paid traffic is against their ToS I believe as well.

    You definitely need some online presence, like a website, blog, etc

    There many free services that you can use, but that is not the real problem here; I think that you need to think about what about you will make your website or blog, before you are planning to make money from an affiliate program.

    First website, then content, then visitors and then affiliate program; I am sorry but there is no short cut.

    Some forums find it ok to post affiliate-codes, but some affiliates do not accept other that your own websites. You have to red aout each affiliate/forum etc :)
