There are literally hundreds of different ways you can generate traffic as an affiliate, but really it all comes down to two basic types of traffic - free traffic and paid traffic.
Most people have more time than money, so they start out with "free traffic" methods.
These include things like ...
Unfortunately, as you may already know if you've tried some of these things, there are lots of problems with all of these types of "free traffic" sources.
For one thing, they aren't really free because they cost you a ton of your TIME. And time is one of your most valuable assets since it's irreplaceable.
You could spend weeks or even months learning how to do these things, and then spend a lot more time actually doing them, and end up getting very little or no real traffic to speak of.
Aside from being extremely labor intensive, they also take a long time to generate results.
Even with a "successful" free traffic campaign, it could be months and months before you start seeing any meaningful amount of traffic - or income.
Another problem with free traffic is that it's unreliable, unpredictable, and it's not "scalable."
You never know how much traffic you're going to get or how much work you're going to have to do to get it. And if you want more traffic, you have to keep hustling.
I don't know about you but that sounds just like a J-O-B to me. No thanks!

 | Writing articles and submitting them to article directories |
| Creating websites and doing "search engine optimization" |
| Creating "content rich" videos to post on sites like YouTube |
| Posting in forums, free classified ad sites, Craigslist, etc. |
| Marketing on Facebook and other social networking sites |
