An affiliate marketing campaign is a series of actions you will take in order to sell the product or service you have chosen as your current focus.

The first and foremost goal of a marketing campaign is to sell your product or service (or gain affiliate sign ups).  One of the best ways to do this is advertising using a variety of methods.

Some of the many methods employed include classified advertising, article submissions, blogging, banner ads, pay-per-click, video ads, forum posts, and offline advertising.

The cost of advertising ranges from free to as much as you are willing to spend.  Paying for advertising may produce faster results, but effective ad campaigns can be conducted for free.  You will need to determine a cash budget and a time budget when constructing your marketing campaign.
