One of the first options to consider is to look up through the major search engines and enter the keywords that will best describe the affiliate product you're trying to promote. From the search results, seek out the top 3 websites that appear for those hot keywords and following that, drop an email or give the webmaster a call to enquire whether they'd be interested to do a joint venture with you, or if possible, rent their email list (make sure permission has been obtained in the first instance, to avoid spam complaints). While performing SEO strategies might be suitable in the long run, what you're trying to achieve here is to establish leads and boost affiliate sales within the shortest period of time. Hence, this option can be considered.

The second option to consider is to purchase advertising slots from e-zines.

Typical packages through e-zines include paid advertisement in the following formats (starting from the most expensive): solo ads, top sponsor ads, or classified ads. As said in the available formats, each one of them will provide a different amount of exposure to the targeted e-zine subscribers. If you think that it may cost too much to pay for such advertising, just think of the potential returns you can get from your affiliate sales and work out the ROI. That will give you a strong indication as to whether this form traffic driving strategy is suitable for your budget.

The third option to consider, is to rent targeted email lists. As it implies, the contacts available here have already given their consent to receive any form of legitimate offer when they signed up initially and it's guaranteed that the people on these lists are highly targeted as well.
