If you have a blog on one of the free platforms, like Blogger or Wordpress, your articles can be used to focus on individual items sold through your affiliate, This is easy to do with skin care and cosmetics, but will works for other items as well.
Using one item as the focus of your article allows you to "strut your stuff", showing that you are familiar with the product and building trust. An added benefit is that you aren't hoping your article gets selected out of the millions on a free article site. You simply add pictures of your product, linked out to the purchase page on the affiliate site, and place a banner for your affiliate program at the end of the article.
Then, be sure your blog is submitted to as many blog directories as possible, and create a widget for it so that you can embed that widget on your other blogs, if you have more than one.
The more that you can isolate your information from that found in sites where your article or video clip might get buried, the less energy you have to spend getting traffic to that article or video clip.
