No, and no.
Affiliate marketing generally refers to "commission-based advertising," in which the "publisher" displays advertisements or links to merchants, and the publisher is paid only based on the actual sales to consumers who click on those ads or links.
Some merchants require that affiliates have an active web site, but some will also accept affiliates who have no web site of their own, but who promote the merchant through some other method (perhaps including free-classified postings on other sites that permit them).
Some merchants permit their affiliates to do "direct to merchant PPC" in which the affiliate pays for traffic sent by a search engine (Google AdWords, for example) to the merchant site, and earns money from product sales. Since this requires an out-of-pocket expense for the affiliate without any guarantee of sales, it can be very risky.
There is an excellent community for "affiliate marketers" at ABestWeb.com (but spend many hours reading there before posting anything, and pay close attention to the rules there).
You need more than a content page, you need a website that you have control and ownership of. It works sort of like pay per click except it is pay per action CPA. You get paid for each sign up for the product you are offering and no compensation is made for clicks unless otherwise stated.
Affiliate marketing is simply another term for commision based sales. Most affiliate programs require you to have a website for the simple fact that you must add a banner or text ad for them to reach the product site for purchases. Though this is the most common method for bloggers, many people add affiliate links to emails. You simply need to check with each affiliate programs terms of service and see which method they allow for their promotion. The ability to show a clickable link is the key to most internet marketing, and this can also be done in your forum signature or links in social website posts. The placement of these links is conditioned by not only the affiliate, but also by the site or forum in which you wish to place the link. There are several other methods for link placement such as online classified ads, but I believe that these are less effective due to many classifeds ineffectiveness to send you anything other than spam traffic. Setting up an affiliate website is however pretty simple. Just get yourself a free blog and start doing product reviews. I do a combination of both incentive website referrals and affiliate marketing through this method (though I do have my own domain), and it works quite well. Content is king when it comes to any blog or website effort, as it improves your search engine traffic. If you do not wish to write content, then you might want to choose another method of link advertising, such as a simple link embedded in your email signature, but you will be limiting your chances of successful marketing, as well as the number of products you can promote by doing this. The good thing about content is however, that even if it takes you an hour or two to write a good article for your blog, you only have to do it once. It is not the content that will take up most of your efforts, but getting people to see it, in the form of website promotion. The cost of any marketing effort is either time or money. How you balance these is your choice.
