Free Marketing Strategies for Affiliates (these methods does not require any upfront money or fees)

Using Videos - The first one has to do with using video sharing websites, the reason this is a great way to market your affiliate links is because the popular site called "Youtube is free to use". Anyone can make a video, these are one's that you make from your home computer using a webcam or camcorder. You can make a video about anything you want and you can create slide shows, about the products you want to promote. In the description area of your video you will place a link to your web pages. Then when visitors see your video they can click the link to read more about your review. This free traffic method will earn you fast commissions as an affiliate marketer.

Writing Articles – The second method that you can use to promote your affiliate links is to distribute articles on directories. You can submit as many articles as you want from a variety of categories. A popular article directory is EzineArticles, they have a good authority ranking on the internet and provide free training on how to write really good articles to promote your products. Once you write your content you are given the opportunity to create an about page, in that section you can put your link. It is best to have a link to a blog, instead of direct linking to your affiliate page. A good place to get a free blog is blogger blogspot.

Paid Marketing Strategies for Affiliates (these methods will require a small investment of money)

Bing Ads – The fastest way to get traffic is going to be with PPC pay per click advertising. When you create an advertisng campaign you can reach a larger audience of people searching for the product you are marketing. The key is to have a highly converting capture page to get visitors to click your ads. This will require that you have a marketing budget to work with. Calculate how many clicks you will be able to pay for in advance and then subtract that amount from your profits. Paid advertising will take practice and once you get a campaign that is working for you then you can scale it up for higher returns.

Facebook Ads – This is probably one of the few social networking sites that make advertising easy for affiliate marketers simply because they have all the demographic information that you will need to target your ad campaigns. You will have the ability to pick the exact gender, age, geographic location of your target audience. The reason this is so powerful is that you also can benefit from your prospects friends and family connections. To get started with marketing your affiliate products on Facebook you will want to research your niche and run your campaigns for several months to do split-testing because something as simple as a word or picture could mean the difference between more sales conversions or less opt-ins.

As you can see you have plenty of free and paid options to choose from as an affiliate, take time to try them both so you can determine which one will work best for earning residual income on autopilot.
