    If you find the right product or products and get good traffic to your site you can make good money. I make more money off affiliate sites than adsense.

    if you find a high paying affiliate program, with products ppl want, and you push one product at a time, and build momentum, you can make $5k a month, $10k a month, $20k a month, whatever you want.

    just get started with a single product, learn the ways to promote, and repeat for every new product you promote.

    just make sure they are high paying products and are worth the time and effort you spent promoting them and you will make good money with afffiliate programs

    It is as profitable as you want it to be.

    You get out what you put in.

    Work hard and it will pay off.

    Hi.

    It depends on what you are promoting...that's what affiliate marketing is all about. Promote the product that which you think, has an edge to any other related product. And try to think that if you are the buyer, would you buy that product the way it was promoted.

    Therefore, it is how you promote the product and the quality of the product you are promoting.

    Thus, it gives you more profit!

    There is a learning curve ... but once learned there is virtually no limit, as much as you put in you will get out.

    Enough to work from home :)

    Hi all,
    I too try to build an affilate business on my site. I've found 8 affilate programs which look good on my opinion. My site's dedicated to homeless pets.
    However I'm not sure, if i should try all this. Maybe i should try to make my business with 3-2 ones. What do you think of this?
    Hope to hear your opinions.

    You make more money with affiliate programs then adsense if you work it right. With adsense, you are essentially the middleman when you think about it.

    Stay away from low-paying products, such as clothes, food, electronics....

    Push the high end products.

    Look into prescription drugs, anything to do with medical, cable dishes....

    Well I'm a bit biased as I'm an affiliate manager for a pharma program but it really does sell. It's a very popular and profitable niche. See sig for details if you're interested :D Otherwise, good luck!!

    How profitable is affiliate marketing:

    The profitability of affiliate marketing is only as profitable as how much work and effort you put into it. If you don't put much work into it then it would not be that profitable for you. If you put a lot of work into it then you will make it more profitable for you and also learn some good things alone the way which will also go in your favor when trying to make more money.

    You need to look at affiliate marketing as a BUSINESS. If youre not willing to put in the work then you will be wasting your time.

    The thing that separates affiliate marketing from other industries is the ability for the individual to make a ton of money on his/her own. There are a lot of people out there making serious bank who spend 8 hours at their computer each day and thats it. No boss, no employees, just you and your affiliate managers.

    I'm making ~$5000/month profit and have hit a bit of a plateau but I'm now expanding my projects and hope to start making even more soon.
