- I actually make money from Amazon and Google Adsense. I have even made money from affiliate programs in the past, but CyrpticFragments assumption is correct, you have to put in the time for these programs to pay off. You have to write content that matches the program you're trying to "sell" then you have to market those pages you created or the website--as a whole. It takes time. Time to build an audience. Time to create the product pages. Time to promote, advertise, and market. And you have to keep marketing every single day. And it can burn you out. Some people have the stamina it takes to live on the web and the computer and the Internet. Others, don't. I found I needed more of a balance so I cut down on my time promoting and watched the sales fall as well. It truly is a numbers game to make affiliate programs pay off.

- It doesn't take much time. Once you have the links set, they are fine unless they leave the affiliate program. Stick with a narrow offering at first, to not spend much time. I think it's best to choose an affiliate program that has MOST of the websites or products you think you're a good match for, and just run with one. That way, you are more likely to meet the minimum payout amount and get paid something. When you get paid even the $25 minimum that most accounts have, that is a good motivator. I have had the best luck with the DickBlick affiliate program that's available on Commission Junction. If you go with too many things to promote and too many affiliate programs, then yes, it will be overwhelming. So I stay pretty small with it but keep my foot in the door! I get about $200-$250 per month from affiliates and Squidoo combined. I get more from Commission Junction than I get from my 100 Squidoo pages.

- I belong to every single one of the affiliate sites you mention and none of them have EVER earned me a dime.
I just do not understand how people actually make money with these things. You'd have to be online 24-7 choking people with your links.
sorry if this comes across as harsh, I just do not buy into it anymore after so much wasted effort
congrats to those of you who can make it work for you
