Can You Start Affiliate Marketing With No Money?
You can begin learning and publishing cheaply, but time and opportunity cost are still costs.
Free options
Research, some publishing tools and organic distribution can be free.
Where costs appear
Domains, hosting, email, premium tools, ads and training can add expense.
Do not buy the stack first
Validate that you can publish and earn attention.
Spend against a bottleneck
Buy tools only when they solve a defined constraint.
Practical rule: Build one clear audience → offer → traffic → conversion path before adding complexity. For a commercial example, see our Jonathan Montoya review.
