I'm sure a lot of people out there that get into online affiliate programs are unsure of how to promote the program they just joined. There are a lot of ways to advertise online including free or paid classified ads, paid email, banner ads, traffic exchanges, etc. The thing that a lot of people forget though is offline advertising. By that, I mean buying ads in your local newspaper or community flier, using pamphlets or handouts and other means to promote your business other than the internet.
One of the first things you should do after getting involved in any program is to get some business cards printed up with your affiliate link included on them. You can even design and print your own on your computer. There is software specifically available for this and you can get business card stock at any office supply store. You can even get your own business cards printed free by going to VistaPrint. Carry some with you at all times and hand them out whenever the opportunity presents itself. You can also post them at some community bulletin boards. I would also include one in any mailing you do, like paying your monthly bills. Just throw a card in the envelope with it. You want to get your affiliate link out there so people go to the site to sign up and/or make a purchase.
Business cards are a good way to advertise with very little cost and are a good way to get started promoting your business. For the SFI program you can order cards and fliers directly from them that are ready made to promote that program. You can find them in the affiliate store when you log into the members area.
To your success!
