Why a website builder? You really don't need one. You can always use the merchant's website to link to and send traffic directly. You will save time and effort in the bargain, and you will earn your affiliate commissions.
The downside to that is, you are essentially leaving money on the table, by not generating your own email list.
Your affiliate merchant collects the name and email from the traffic that you send. Remember, money is in the list.
