Remember to keep your email messages brief and friendly with the hyperlink to your affiliate product’s webpage included.

Some standard venues for finding new people to invite to join your list are social networking sites like Facebook or MySpace.

Forums dedicated to your specific niche allow you to make direct contact with like-minded people.

It also allows you to ask questions of your own if you need extra knowledge. Again, all this is done without having a personal website.
