The #1 thing I did was experiment all sorts of ways to get clicks on my Amazon links. Keep trying new things. I tried making a website, I tried Squidoo, I tried Youtube, I tried Pinterest. Your overall goal should be for your pages containing Amazon links to rank high on Google. My advice is simply to experiment as many ways possible to get links out and watch for what works best. Then put more effort in that method. If something causes that method to fail, research other people online who tried that method and their way around it failing.. and the answer of what made it work for them. Google search is your best friend. Someone has already tried every method and there is an article for any question somewhere on google search. Sorry I was somewhat broad with the answer. Thats the bet advice I have without spoiling my entire method. Everyone's method varies. There are multiple roads to success.
