    From where you found this affiliate product? Before promoting any affiliate products first make assure that you will not get scam. Always promote products from trusted networks. Once found suitable one just make a review blog with targeted keywords & promote your blog.

    aduba, I recommend creating a blog. You can create one free with blogger. From there, you can write reviews of video games, provide tips and tricks in the games, preview upcoming games. Basically, become a source of gaming information. I am assuming the affiliate is trustworthy. I recommend CJ. I do not try to venture to far out from them. I would recommend searching this forum and other online communities about different things you can do to better your chance of success. I actually have a blog about this, but I am unable to post my link in here at this time. If you need help though, feel free to ask. :)

    Become an affiliate for that product and begin promoting the product in various forums and blogs. You don't have to have a site to get started on affiliate marketing. You can do affiliate marketing without a site. Some products will require you build a website around it that people can go to read more about the product. I suggest that you go over the lessons on affiliate marketing that we have on our site.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    First go through the sticky posts of various forums. Learn the following -

    1. HTML (Basic)
    2. WordPress (Basic)
    3. SEO (Basic>Advanced)

    Well first off, just going to forums and putting the link in your sig isn't going to work. You need to bring real value to the table not just post up a bunch of links. How about reading up on the subject that you wish to promote. Or maybe pick something you know about and go from there. If you are new to affiliate marketing your first product shouldn't be something you have no clue about. First thing you should do is pick a product from clickbank or cj, not some fly by network, next you need to build a site around it, not some review site, if the product is popular there will be a million of those. Build a site with good content, easy to ready, add affiliate links in the content, at the bottom offer the product with a bonus for purchasing now, something that complements the affiliate offer. You can find good PLR products and video series with a google search. Once you have the site complete and ready to take orders. Do some seo work, rank for the keywords, promote with adwords, 7search, yahoo answers, articles. I hope this helps you get started.

    You should write informative content that highlighting the thing that you wanted to promote. You can blog or distribute information or article about it.

    Starting from the ground up with no advertising budget can be tough. Twitter is one option that can work for you, provided you have some place to send your visitors other than the affiliate offer page. As many have suggested, look into starting a free blog with Blogger or Weebly and post regular content related to your offer niche (gaming). Once you have the content live, try leaving comments on other well known gaming blogs linking back to your page to bring additional eyes to your ad(s). Just be sure to have decent content available to minimize your bounce rate.

    I want to start by letting you know that you will have to be very patient and start building from the ground up. The first thing you must do is build a website and get alot of traffic to it. However the main challenge that you have it attracting the right kind of traffic. In order for you to benefit from a Games Affiliate program, you will have to make sure that your site is niche specific so that people who surf your website will also find the affiliate program attractive. If you have alot of traffic then your chances of someone clicking on the affiliate link will increase dramatically. I will like to ask you, what is your website URL so that I can take a look.

    I would make sure that the affiliate program does not require approval first. Try to get into ones that are autoapprove. Then build your website that is related to the offer you are promoting and start driving visitors to that site.

    Well I would recommend that you make video reviews and post them on youtube. Do you have a camera? This is a great way of promoting. In the video descriptions put your affiliate link, and send your viewers to the offer. If you provide a high value in your reviews. Then you're likely to get good conversions. Best of luck! Get with a plan and commit to it, you'll see that you'll learn along the way and make money doing so.

    You could create a site centred on game prepaid cards, and leave comments on blogs related to that niche, ensure that the comments adds value to the conversation or else they might simply be removed.
    You can also submit articles related to game prepaid cards to some of the top article directories like Ezinearticles and Goarticles

    I suppose since it's a game prepaid card you're promoting it would be good to come up with a video made from snippets of the game and then at the end, show a link to your site where they could buy the prepaid cards.
