Once every few weeks you may post a press release at sites such as PRweb.com
Your press release will be a favorable review of the product you are promoting, alongwith your affiliate link

If you own a list of subscribers (people who have opted in to receive email offers from you), you may send them an email telling them about the products you are promoting and include your affiliate links in the email
Once again, don’t spam!
Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
You may easily generate incomes with affiliate programs and PPC like Google Adwords
You may also loose a lot of money before making your first sale
So be careful if you do use this way to drive traffic to your sales pages
Learn how it works before!

Make your own tools, write your own texts and try to think like a visitor or a potential buyer, study competitor tactics (use Google!), experiment, upgrade yourself all the time…
It’s a matter of creativity, trial and errors, time and dedication
Never give up

Also, remember when you join forums or social networking sites: don’t spam!

Looks like a great overview. Noobs should bookmark it. You forgot one major category up there though, social bookmarking.
Great list. One important thing though in regards to article marketing with EzineArticles.com.
EzineArticles doesn’t allow you to link with affiliate links. You can link to a top level domain (TLD) however that redirects to an affiliate page, although they tend to question that sometimes and the subject will be coming up a bit more in the future from the sounds of it.
It’s better, in my opinion, to link to your own pages. From there, you can link to any affiliate product you want, but more importantly, you can include an opt-in form for them to sign up for your newsletter so you can continually contact them and build a relationship with them. You’ll yield far better results this way in the end. Newbies can do this, but it takes some effort. It can also be done for free as well, but eventually you would want to have a good quality autoresponder like Aweber.
Anyway, that’s a whole other topic in and of itself. The point is that you can’t have affiliate links in EzineArticles author boxes. They’ll reject your submission. GoArticles does though – at least, last time I checked they did which was awhile ago.
Nice information and thanks for sharing. But for newbie, how long this tips could be maintained? since lot of newbie will be very difficult maintain the motivation to perform this.
any suggestions please
Wow, lovely info! Thanks

Write more! It’s a good manual data!
Great advice! I would add that marketing doesn’t stop once you get someone to your site. Good content is what will get people to your site and keep them coming back. Also don’t underestimate the power of video. Promote your product and put it on youtube.
Thank you sir – Done
