I don't know that any one answer would help you here. Text Message Marketing does require a plan before you start building your lists. I don't know what niche you have started your list in, but let's say it is something like Mobile Dating. There are numerous mobile dating CPA offers out there that pay very well. What you don't want to do is just start sending messages that don't relate to your subscriber base, otherwise you will see them start to drop off like crazy.

Below is something I would do in the Mobile Dating niche. Of course, results may vary, but I would use a similar method with most of my SMS lists that I build to start getting good retention on them. Don't just make them spammy with a bunch of product links....okay, here goes.

1. Plan at least three weeks worth of SMS messages that you are going to send out to subscribers.
2. Setup your list in your mobile platform (I use SignalHQ for mine).
3. Use a Wordpress Blog or similar site that you have mobile-enabled, to create review articles on the different Mobile Dating offers. Use a good theme that matches the niche as well,
4. Along with each review article, include an affiliate link to the offer using one of the many tracking tools out there. Cloak the link if you like, but it doesn't really matter.
5. Start creating your SMS messages in your mobile platform to direct subscribers back to your review articles. I usually use a shorturl service and use some form of a textual link like hxxp://bit.ly/txtsingles so that it somewhat matches what the subscriber is looking at. For example, let's say the offer is for Txt Singles, I might make the message something like this, "Tired of being Bored and Alone? See why Txt Singles mobile dating platform stands out from the rest. Click Here --> AFFILIATEREVIEWLINK
6. Make sure that your subscribers are engaged and don't feel pressured to buy anything up front. Let them read a review on the offer and decide from there if they want to pursue it.
7. Don't send out more than about 1 - 2 per week or they will get frustrated and unsubscribe.
8. Signup with JumpTap or some other mobile advertising platform and direct them to an SMS landing page in the niche you are shooting for. With a reasonable budget, you should be able to scoop up quite a few subscribers.

There is considerably more that can be done here to make it successful and I probably danced all around your initial question, but hopefully this will help if you are just getting started.

Sorry, snovvvolf, I am having a difficult time understanding your questions, can you please rephrase them?

Thanks

I would not work with affiliate links in SMS because it smells like you want me to pay for something. Use something that grabs attention, a shortliner so that people must go to your website. You know, it always depends on your offer or product. If you could tell us your product or service we may have some better suggestions for you.

I just think you have to just get to the point and think of what should be most important in the message you want to send. Just be brief and make sure you get your point across.

Martbost:
1) What is the SMS text look like, cause i never send out any text massage from email, can the text massage put mydomain.com then the receiver can click and direct to my site?
2) i want to ask that the clickbank 2D barcode, when we want to promote the product from clickbank will have a affiliate link for us, i saw the 2D barcode on the right hand side, how to use that on sending sms text massage?

Gabbo:
i want to be an affiliate, i dont have any product, i looking to promote a making money product, or you have good product to introduce me?

Alfid:
i post this tread is wanna to ask who know that what kind of the text massage will make the people read the short 50 word text and can wait to take action click on my link?

Well, think of your audience.

One, are they really interested in your product? Make sure this is an opt-in list.
Two, make the text enticing. A lot of times a special will make it worth it for some one to click and ultimately purchase via mobile marketing.
