Profitable Affiliate Programs with no website

I find this way to make money really interesting, however I don't have a website, is it a must for this kind of work? as well i would want to know where could I start, any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. I wanted to start PPC Fb campaigns and redirect the links to affiliate websites however i have read that it is preferable to direct the users to a landing page you own, why is that? isn't the point to make the user to sign up or get the product so I can get the commission? shouldn't the referral link the affiliate program gives you be enough for that purpose? I have read also posts about socialad ninja, would that plus a decent fb campaign be enough how to recover the investment and make a profit out of it?

You need a website if you want to pursue your goals as a long term thing, otherwise you could first get started with free blogging platforms such as blogger and wordpress to see how things go, once you have identified profitable niches, you could start going the website way.

Some CPA networks won't even accept you if you don't have a website. It's better to have a landing page so that your fb ads won't have one of those obscure links to aff pages. Believe me OP, having a website is a good investment if you're going to start IM. Also, some hosting providers give you free fb ad credit.

isn't there a way to shorten or cloak the link so it shows up as a cleaner url? as well im in the process of making a website however i wanted to get some money growing while the website builds up traffic
