    Hello I find it really, REALLY HARD to promote something. An example would be a fundraiser is just set up. The website of the fundraiser tells me to use social networking website(Twitter, Facebook, etc.). I don't use social website that much OR I don't have any friends on social websites. So I set up a twitter account and start following over 200 people and only 4 or 5 follow me back. I start asking people to retweet my link with the fundraiser. I got banned off of twitter. Next, I use chat rooms, but I instantly got kick out of the room. I can't write articles because I don't have anything to teach people. I could probably get ban for writing about my fundraiser.

    I also tried yahoo answers. They deleted my question.

    I don't have a website either. I don't have money for that right now.

    You don't strictly *need* money to start making your own website. I've used computers for a long time to earn money and I can tell you that you can get a website that can reach out to people on blogger or something like that. What exactly are you trying to share if you do not have any content?

    You can share your affiliate links on the forums as signature, on the popular social networks like face book, twitter, you can have your own blog, etc.

    for fundraisers you can make a short video about your project and upload to kickstarters.com and they will review it and make it public.

    If you're going to promote affiliate links first and foremost make sure you're abiding by the User Agreement and Terms of Service of forum or website you're posting the links on. Do not spam, you'll instantly get banned or have your account suspended. You don't need a paid hosted website. You can utilize Wordpress, Tumblr and other similar sites to post content or write articles. The only way to get good at writing content is to write! Make sure what you're writing is relevant to your audience. Do not make anything up. You'll immediately become known as someone who isn't creditable. Avoid spin articles too. Come up with relevant content and do your research on whatever it is you're trying to promote through affiliate links. Lastly, know you're audience everyone has different interests or topics they're passionate about so focus on these.

    You can promote your affiliate items with affiliate links on popular free classified ad sites. You can get many buyers of your affiliate products by this process. But for this, you need to post many ads per day.

    If you not even want to spend money to get a website how about a blog ?
    You can get free blog with wordpress, blogger , blogspot, tumblr .
    In twitter you do not need to do all adding manually while you can use tweetadder to help you do all works by autofollow and no follow those no follow you back within time you set.
    They are lot of ways you can do to promote
    - SEO
    - Social Media
    - Email
    - Classified
    - Directories
    - Blog
    - Article
    - Press Release
    - Youtube
    - Mobile Instant Message
