Then depending on your affiliate strategy, you'll need a marketing strategy to encourage people to sign up. This strategy will define the auxiliary tools needed for that purpose.  You can choose from a variety of tactics depending on your time and financial resources:

• Blogging – If you decide to become a blogger you’ll just need a website
• Video marketing (YouTube) – organic video marketers upload multiple videos to YouTube and other platforms to generate traffic (you’ll need a video recording device but a smart phone can do the job) You can also invest in a good quality microphone if you wish and some lighting equipment.
• Social media – you can use social media platforms to advertise affiliate products. Depending on your strategy this can be free or paid. You’ll just need a social media account and some funds if you’re paying for advertising.
• PPC – pay per click platforms let you build an affiliate business in the fastest possible time (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter etc.)
