What is affiliate marketing hosting and what do I need to start?
Affiliate marketing involves earning commissions by promoting other companies' products via your website, YouTube, or social media. For a website-based affiliate business, you need: a domain name (yournichereviews.com), Connect Quest WordPress hosting (shared hosting sufficient for starting), WordPress with a review/comparison theme, and affiliate program accounts (Amazon Associates India, Flipkart Affiliate, Commission Junction, ShareASale). Create content: product reviews, comparison articles, buying guides. Traffic sources: SEO (ranking for "best [product] India" searches), YouTube (review videos), and social media. Monetization: embed affiliate links in content using ThirstyAffiliates plugin for link management and click tracking. Commission rates: Amazon India 3-10%, most programs 5-30%. Start with Connect Quest shared hosting (Rs 99/month) — upgrade as traffic grows. Domain + hosting setup at connectquest.co.in.
