New to Affiliate Marketing?
If you want to learn affiliate marketing fast and you want to learn affiliate marketing for free or for a low cost, there are hundreds, if not thousands of courses and trainings you can choose from.
But which ones are worth learning from and investing your time in?
How do you know whether what you’re learning is still current, still works and will actually get you results?
My advice to you is to find a mentor – someone who has proven experience and more than that, success, as an affiliate marketer, to learn from.
I have a separate article (above) on how to go about finding a quality mentor which is worth reading before you proceed with this post…
…but if you want to learn affiliate marketing for free, then you really don’t have any monetary skin in the game and only have your time to invest or waste, as the case may be.
Free training tends to only teach you specific things while not providing an overall framework to build upon so you’ll still need to connect things up yourself and build your own framework.
I’ve compiled this this to help you pick affiliate marketing courses (and mentors) who provide free or low-cost training.
Free Affiliate Marketing Courses And Training
1. Easy Commission Funnel
This is a 100% free-to-join, beginner-friendly, yet powerful affiliate marketing system designed to help both new and experienced marketers start earning commissions fast — even if you have zero tech skills or no email list.
It gives you a ready-to-go sales funnel, complete with high-converting lead pages, email follow-ups, and done-for-you 10+ passive income affiliate offers already built in.
Full training on how to set it up as well as drive traffic to the offer is included.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to automate and scale, this funnel takes the guesswork out of making money online.
It’s like having a plug-and-play shortcut to affiliate success — all you do is plug in your link, drive a little traffic, and watch it work!
Easy Commission Funnel is its own affiliate program so…
…you earn commissions by sending people to your own Easy Commission Funnel link and/or you can promote the programs in it separately, if you want.
Commissions are typically 50% but rates are set by the individual programs withing the ECF.
New programs are being added all the time, increasing your earning opportunity.
There were 6 passive income programs in the Funnel when I first joined; now there are over 10!
✅ Perfect for anyone who wants less stress, more simplicity, and faster results in affiliate marketing.
2. Zach’s Free Skool Group
Zach is my primary mentor and teaches high-ticket marketing strategies.
He does have an extremely comprehensive course for people who are serious about becoming full-time affiliate marketers, but he also provides totally free training in his private Skool group.
The training is some of the best you’ll ever get and provides a fantastic ground-floor introduction to affiliate marketing.
You can ask questions in the Group and Zach will answer them, so it’s a great way of being able to tap into a mentor’s knowledge directly.
But, let’s be clear, the free training only goes so far.
If you want a full-blown, structured course that gives you a business framework to build upon, you’d need to upgrade to Zach’s paid course (but that’s not something you have to do).
There is no affiliate program associated with the free Skool group but Zach does have an affiliate program for those which sign up for his paid course.
Commissions are 50% and his paid course is a high-ticket product in itself.
✅ If you’re looking for a course that teaches you how to sell high-ticket products in any niche, then Zach’s course is the biz.
3. MAP

The above link is for a 14-day trial of the Pro (paid) version of the platform.
You do not need to upgrade if you don’t want to – you can remain as a free member but, obviously, you won’t have access to everything on the platform.
As a free member, you earn 20% commission on sales but that rises to 40% if you’re a paid member.

Attention Affiliate Marketers!
All of the above programs either have their own affiliate programs or they incorporate several programs (like the Easy Commission Funnel does) that each also have their own individual affiliate programs.
Commissions are typically 50% but there are some variations between affiliate programs.
To help you promote your affiliate links, I suggest you offer a bonus or bonus package to entice people to sign up through your link rather than someone else’s.
I use Commission Gorilla (yes, I’m offering some bonuses for that! 
) to build my bonus and bonus delivery pages (keeps things simple).
If you don’t want to create your own bonuses, you can get ones with Private Label Rights (PLR) for a variety of sources.
Try to get quality bonuses as no one likes getting digital tat that will just clog up their hard drives.
Always try to provide value with your giveaways and bonuses.
You can always use the LeadsLeap Lifetime Free account to create landing pages, optin pages and bonus pages.
However, you’ll have to manually create your bonus delivery pages, something that Commission Gorilla does automatically.
By the way, LeadsLeap is one of the program inside the Easy Commission Funnel, so you might as well join that first.
All the best,
Gary Nugent
