Affiliate marketing is on of the best and easiest ways to make money online. There are so many ways you can use to make money with affiliate marketing.

Can I do Affiliate Marketing Without Having a Blog?
Yes you can. You can do affiliate marketing without having anything that I have mentioned above. You can use paid traffic methods such as YouTube ads, Google ads, Bing ads and other ways like push notifications and many more. But the problem is paid ad is not running forever and all the marketing + sales will end with the ad. The only possible way you can make money after those ads is doing email marketing with the emails you have collected while the ad campagn. But it cannot make sales same as the ad.
Why a Blog is Important for Affiliate Marketing and How it
Will Increase the Sales?
Now I will explain why it whould be greate to have a blog to do affiliate marketing.
Having a blog means you are writing content. You are writing about reviews, how to do the things, what are the tools you can use to do those things like that. It means a blog is a place that contains a collection of solutions for people who are finding solutions for their questions.
1. As an example think a person who comes to your blog to learn about how to make money online. After he reads your article, he will see other content in your blog that relates to his interests. Most of the time he will read other articles as well and if you provide quality content for your readers, finally they will become your followers. Like that you can easily create a niche related community arounr your blog.
2. You can write a complete review about your affiliate product by adding visuals, pricing plans, thoughts of other users, user reviews, competitors, profs and cons, and many more. This means you can provide a complete review about the product you are going to promote. Every buyer likes to check a complete review before buying something. Because the product or service should be worth for the money that the person willing to spend. By having a blog, you can convince you audience and make them buyers.
3. You can easily find content ideas from Quora, Answer the public or even visit to a website that share blogs similar to your niche. And by checking those articles, you can simply write them on your own words or spin the text and make it your own article. And the places like freeplr articles, they will give thousands of free articles.
4. You can promote other visual promotions like banners. Most of the affiliate offers will provide these kind of affiliate materials and you can easily embeded them in your blog. This will help you to promote different affiliate offers in one place.
5. If you are writing blogs like Vs or Top 5 it will provide the opportunity to promote few different affiliate offers in one place.
6. You can easily make a blog by using free platforms like blogger.
How a Blog can Increase Sales and Why it is Passive?
Blog is a place that contains collection of niche related articles. If all those are affiliate marketing promotions you can make more money. That means having a collection of affiliate promotions in one place is better than promoting a single affiliate product.
Multiple affiliate promotions in one place = More sales in multiple offers = More money
After you write an article and publish it in your blog, it will be there forever unless you remove it from your blog. If it features in your blog forever, people can find and read your content for years for the future. That means you create content ones. After that it will make sales forever. That is why a blog can be a passive income method.
Final words from me (with my personal experience)
I am an affiliate marketer and I am doing affiliate marketing in make money online and health and fitness niches. I have separate blogs for both these niches.
You can do affiliate marketing without a blog. But it means you are going to miss some valuable points (disscused above) to your affiliate marketing business. Therefore, I think you should have a blog if you are doing affiliate marketing.
