Some of us do... It's not that hard. I've easily done over 1/4 mil in sales in some months. It's easy money!!! Hell of a lot more than if I actually had to cold call, or go door to door for the same commission...
i think lots of people want easy money which is why they use this. if you work hard at it like people here you can make big money. i would like to follow your progress and see if ultimately it was worth spending that much money to suceed.
Amazon is a lot harder to promote than CLICKBANK. Though it can make you some great money when sales start popping. Amazon requires a lot more hard work and quality links. Some people are earning a few hundreds each month with Amazon through Hubpages. Google still loves hubpages and they're indexed quite well.. I personally know someone that has a single hub earning him $300 - $400 every single day. (Selling iphone accessories) This guy hasn't promoted the hub much since he published it. $300/400 a day is a dream for many people struggling online
