No matter how broke you are, just making one 1,500vp sale a month will make you and EA. To do that, you will need to do some advertising. To that end this is my advice to you:
1) Find a product that you actually can get behind and promote. Do some. Find out the best keywords for that particular item.
2) Go to a site like Angelfire.com that will host a website for you for free. There are two reasons for building your own page. Firstly, search engines like Yahoo! will not list affiliate links in their search results unless it is a paid link. Secondly, you can personalize your page by picking the keywords that you optimize the page text for. Also, you can personalize or brand the page by making a personal recommendation for the item you are promoting.
3) Now you actively promote the page. There are a host of free methods that are effective. One of the most effective is building a blog and posting to it daily. Adding signature block containing a link to the end of each post allows your readers to go to your sales page. Since blogs are usually very highly listed in the Search Engines, this can bring a lot of visitors that actually chose to search for the keywords. Perhaps a bit less effective, but a good way to get eyes on your page and blog page is the use of traffic exchanges. Once you have a good number of readers, you probably won't want to spend the time surfing, but it will take a bit of time to get started, and this a good way to advertise the blog.
4) One final tool you can employ effectively is a RSS feed from your blog. Every blog can support the technology. That way, even people who don't visit your blog daily can read your posts.
