And you will require a hosting if you want to make affiliate income, you have to build a product showcase on your site, write reviews and build those hard backlinks to get search traffic. People online search on various platforms – be it search engines like Google and Bing or Social platforms like – Facebook and Flipboard. People like to discover things in a whole different way today.
