Everything else is just a waste of time. People who either won't use the service, or people who are not commited to affiliate marketing will listen to your speech, but won't bother implementing it. So save your time and energy, and focus only on eager targets.

There is still plenty of place for creativity within these 2 markets. Network marketers are not only people in an MLM network. They are also bloggers with a big following that can write a review of your product and get refferals. Sending out a press release, or getting an article in a newspaper will also bring you both types of leads. So is placing a classified ad in the right paper - free or paid. Or contacting a well followed Twitterer and having her tweet about your service.
