Well, I research on the internet and I read some article on the internet that to earn a living on the internet, a person must host a blog from a company. That means we must pay it for hosting and then, we should learn about the basic html and css. To make your website look professional, we should hire a graphic designer. Oh my... then, we have to write lots of SEO written article then, we should buy links or whatever... I thought being an affiliate marketer is being free? Does it mean we should spend too much money to have a stable income on the internet? 
I do not have any money. Another is, I read that we should buy the domain name.. oh my....

Hi my friend,
Who's that marketer? If you are going to do affiliate online no money involve from your side, instead you effort and patience. I have few good affiliates if you are interested I will give you chack my profile or send me PM. Not necessary you need to purchase web site or domain, because I have two sites without money involved which gradually earn online... see you there

Well, I am shy to say this. The marketer is me... ek?! He he.. 
I am just starting my website on weebly.com and it is not yet finish [though I am confuse in blog and in website] -- I do not know which one to choose -- ha ha. I already sign up on amazon affiliate products and I choose adobe photoshop to my website topic. I really want to teach adobe photoshop to a school or make this as a job career, but I guess I am not that professional and of course, on Odesk, they would only choose a graphic designer that has lot of experiences. I am amateur so I decided to use my teaching on my websites with over all topic about adobe photoshop.

Not really, but I do have to say if you want to make some good money, yeah you will need to have hosting and a domain name. I mean you can do the free stuff as well and go from there. If you want to do affiliate marketing then you can do that for free or make sure that you have a hosting site and domain name. I know that the name does not cost a lot and hosting might not either, but now days some sites are scams.
You are right there are free sites that hire affiliate marketers. If you make your own blog then you can just get some views and everything like that. Good luck to you and I hope you find a method that works for you.

I read on the internet that those has a domain name and hosting websites earn lots of money than those affiliate marketer who just uses a subdomain name and does not have a host on their websites.
I guess, I have to spend a little amount of money, but I do not have any money to spend... hay... I am looking for work online that would pay a good amount of money, but I think I have to spend money just to earn a decent income online.
How I wish I could look for a job outside from internet, but it would not also do good because those company are looking for the applicant that has a degree holder and I am not one of them... he he.

in reality behind a website or a simple blog needs much work as regards seo,hosting and contents....for this reson when you approach the first time this kind of opportunity it seems not so complicated but afterthat you cna understand that as everything is not so easy and so you need much efforts before reaching some positive results...

Good day IntrovertShy,
With reference to your main topic discussion, well, you might be redirected into the pages wherein you must maintain a web hosting and a domain name in which you should really need to pay a certain amount. However, there are few sites that you really don't need to pay in order for you to earn.
Try to check further for those sites wherein you can have it for free membership and for sure you will find one.
Wishing you find it very soon. More earnings.

The sites I know of and have signed up with are free. The sites you can site up with to write blogs are free, too. I know at times, you need to spend money to make money. Only if you have your own biz.
