You can use any of Clickbank or PayDotCom links cloaked under bit.ly and then tweet to your visitors, it’d be better if you write a blog post about the product and then lead your followers to it such that they can trust you and products.
One best way to promote your affiliate link is follow official twitter account of WordPress premium theme twitter handle and when ever they announce about new theme, replace the link with your affiliate link.
