Experienced affiliate marketers already know that searching for auto-pilots it's most of the cases a waste of time. Valuable time. Unfortunately, many young guys are trying for months ( if not for years) just such programs which are supposed to make you rich in 2 days, 3 weeks or 4 months. I am pretty sure there are many hidden by the time topics regarding this subject but I feel like we need to write these things on the walls so everyone who is new in the business to see it. If you are new to affiliate marketing ( and not only, but I am speaking about affiliate marketing cause this is area) you should remember this: IF SOMEONE OWNS A SUPER GETTING RICH PROGRAM, HE WILL NOT SHARE IT ON FORUMS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING COMPETITION. If you don't believe this put yourself in his place and see what would you do. Though, forums are very valuable because you can find a lot of useful tips. More tips from experienced people will lead you to success if you are smart. Making money on-line is for serious, hard-working and smart people. If you want to do it as a hobby and hope for $1000/month, skip it. Save your time Wish you all the best in 2013!
Auto-pilot happens at a later stage in the game or if you have a significant marketing budget. Now, you will have to do stuff, but it's relatively little compared to grinding it out when you are first getting started. But you are right, most people chasing auto-pilot are not willing to do the work or invest the money it takes to get the machines running....
