Can I hire some one to promote my affiliate link and generate sale?

Can I hire some one on Odesk.com and on same like sites to promote my affiliate link and generate the sales ?
I want to set affiliate marketing on autopilot. I want to sign up with affiliate networks, creaate my account , get affiliate link and then outsource the remaining task like promoting and generating sales from my affiliate links, to the online marketers at Odesk.com , Elance.com and other sites like these once.

Is it practical approach and good idea to try out ?

Obviously you can hire someone to generate sales for your business.You can hire seo services which help to grab more & more customers towards your business.

Yes, you can hire someone to promote links, but it will cost more.

My suggestion is just promote your sites in Facebook groups, Linkedin, Twitter, Pinterest, Quora and more.

Of course you can hire someone or you can do it on your own.
There are many ways to do this

1. Run paid advertising sending people to a landing page. Collect their email and follow up with email marketing

2. Use social media to build a following and post content you own or connect with people and lead them to your offers

3. Build content on a website and share it to generate traffic, leads and sales.

4. Build a number of videos on YouTube and an organic following.
Plus many more.

The strategy you choose will depend on your available time, finances and goals. Using paid marketing will require a larger financial investment but is faster generally than using cheaper organic marketing.
