Anyone making money with this?

I've toyed with getting into affiliate sites. I've read all the hype about people getting rich with affiliate sites. I'd like to know what the reality is - anyone out there making a full-time living with an affiliate site? Or should I look at it more like an additional source of income?

I too am wondering the same thing...but to answer your question if you already have a source of income why not just think of it as an additional source....I mean until it became silly for you to be doing your when at home your making money without really doing anything because that is what it would seem like happens with affiliate programs.

I mean that and updating your webpage from time to time to keep new content flowing through that would basically be the only job you would have to do if the affiliate program was working well.

Because if it is commission based with the affiliates then I don't see why it wouldn't be anything other than an additional source of income. Not to mention what is your consideration of full-time living?

Full time living to me would be a nice 20/hour with benefits and vacation time...now if you some how could generate traffic flow on your sites to where you were one of the top sites out there then hey pure numbers should have you well above that 20/hour mark I mean for every 1000 people that hit your site 10 might buy something off that other site well if just think of the commissions that you would get if you somehow were getting 1 million customers coming to your site or more...the numbers could be exciting.

just a thought let me know what you think

Yes, there is a lot of hype around in affiliate marketing but there are definetly people out there making a decent income promoting all sorts of affiliate programs. How do I know? I have promoted affiliate programs myself and I can definetly vouch for their potential.
I was only toying with the idea at the time to test the Google Adwords program. I went over to Clickbank and picked up an e-book about motor oil (note to self: that was a niche back then, not sure now). I put up an ad on Adwords and bingo! I was making, roughly, 2 sales for each 100 visitors. The only problem was that this e-book was really low-priced ($9.99) and my commission was only $5. I only managed to break even, but it taught me something about the affiliate world: it's about traffic, traffic traffic! Get enough traffic to your website and you could be making a tidy sum.

All in all, a great experience, albeit a non-profitable one. So, a resounding yes Llfjwr, affiliate programs can definetly make you a decent income online but you have a lot to learn first, and lot to wait first!
