No, you do not need a website, but we strongly recommend that you have a website when you join Rakuten Advertising.
You can use social media, apps, and email to send out advertisers' links, without a website, but it will be difficult for advertisers to confirm that you are a good fit for their program. You may find that many are reluctant to accept your application to join their affiliate programs.
Please review these recommendations and requirements for new publishers.
