Forums.
Forums are places where people with a common interest come together,you just need to find the wright forum where people are discussing your chosen affiliate marketing program product.You then just need to join the discussion and become a regular contributor.

Product reviews.
There are websites on the Internet with the sole purpose of publishing reviews of affiliate marketing programs.

The purpose of these reviews is to inform people of the pros and cons of a product.These reviews can be positive or negative.You can find these review directories at affiliate-review.

The best way to use these product review directories is to wright a negative review about some similar product that you have used that did not work.You then suggest your product as a alternative.The alternative is to wright a positive review about your affiliate marketing program product.In this you must state all the advantages your product have over the competition and all of its pros.

P2P
Person to person or p2p is when you send advertising material directly from your PC to other peoples PC,s.This is done with bit torrents and file sharing networks.

Good bit torrent websites can be found at mini nova,the pirate bay and torrent reactor.If you want more do a google search.The important thing to remember about 2p2 is that you are giving other people limited access to your computer.If you are not certain how to do this find help,because if you do this incorrectly these people will have access to your whole computer and that can lead to many headaches.
