This is what we're heading towards. An era in which the lives and worth of others are decided by cold numbers and performance algorithms that don't always make sense and people are embracing it.

Good job, I guess, OP. Always good to be able to motivate yourself and not let life kick you while you are down.

I'm guessing those profits are mostly due to being around Christmas/holiday time.

Honestly curious how these affiliate marketing programs work. I've seen some people hustle to get some good money out of these things, but (for obvious reasons) never really let in how they get started.
You have to make it seem natural. Easiest targets are parents and older people. Just join one of their communities and start posting normally and link a few products here and there while trying to be helpful. Seems like holiday season is where the big bucks come in.
Edit: I'm not into affiliate marketing but from my perspective they seem to be the ones most likely to click and buy for easy conversion.

Why not. I'll probably forget about this when the time come around though.
For anyone that wants a better idea of what I do, and maybe it inspires you, check this video out:

Disclaimer: Please please please before you think that I'm scamming you into watching some Youtube video which is a sales pitch and it will have some affiliate link in the comments or whatever, watch it first. There is no sales pitch.
It's simply a guy called Adam Wellington who has his own performance marketing network called Upsurge Media, and he talks about the ups and downs of the business, how he was at the top and some guy stole his money, and how putting in the hard work other people won't will pay off. He also kind of explains what affiliate/performance marketing is. If anybody is already into affiliate marketing, it's cool to hear what he went through. Video is like 4:30 mins long.
There is nothing to be sold in that video, it's a video from Elitedaily which is some rich people site I guess.
This disclaimer was necessary because people seem to be super skeptical on here.

My work has similar unwritten rules. If you establish a pattern of being sick on specific days... Like Mondays and Fridays, or before long weekends, you'll get a talking to from your manager. Not really like a "don't do this," but more along the lines of "my manager [your boss's boss] takes note of these things..."
We get unlimited sick days, so ... It's really to prevent people from abusing it or using sick days as vacation days (Something I can say I've definitely done at previous employers).
It's annoying when you are legitimately sick on a monday or a friday and you don't want to take a sick day those days because you know somebody will mutter under their breath about you.
Basically. Bad OP. :/
(WHOO FREE $100 WHOO?)
I hate that "you can't use sick days three times in a row" shit. Who gives a damn, so long as you aren't short-handed on those days, I doubt you'll miss one employee using their sick time.

I've read about affiliate marketing to no end at blackhatworld, which seemed to be a popular site for that sort of thing.
However, while it seems some people are making real income, the details of how it occurred never surface. There is always something missing other than merely creating backlinks, spamming your site everywhere, and having a solid domain name.
Maybe it's time to come up with a marketing campaign about marketing.. pretty sure that's what a pyramid scheme is though.
Anyway, clearly you're doing something right, man. Also, I can't believe that sick day thing is an actual policy..
