Is it me or is that conversion % REALLY high? Is that the case for most online marketing?

Depends on the offer and what qualifies as a "conversion". As far as a sales conversion, I'd be ecstatic to have a 5% conversion rate, but the payout is much higher. For leads the payout is lower but it's much easier to convert someone, usually they have to fill out a form or two and just sign up for something. I've never had much success with per-sale offers. I just tried one the other day because I found the direct advertiser for one of the offers I was running through a network, so wanted to cut out the middleman and see if it performs better, cost me $78ish dollars to close one sale and get $35 :(

Or ignorant.

Do you use Amazon? Or is it something else?

I just run any good offers I can find through my network. You can find good networks through AffPaying.com. It's basically an affiliate network review site, people post reviews, screenshots of payments to show the network is paying out on time, etc.
 
Recently fired man makes $500 a day working for home! GAF hates him!
Pretty much. It seems most people think it's bullshit.

Hmm, that interesting. Do you actually have your own website like people with Amazon Affiliate accounts do?

free money doesn't exist. this seems shady. Can a mod confirm the validity of this thread?

Congrats OP! Your follow up responses does make it seem like you've put some serious effort into researching this stuff, so props.

Your post is actually making me look into this as a fun experiment to try (since I have a decent job). It's always nice to actually see some hard numbers to back up the "I made thousands sitting at home" crap.

Ha, good for you. Glad you're making more money now. I'll check back later but if anything, thanks for being generous.
 
I will be here to collect my prize which I will then donate to the charity known as my wallet.

It's a good cause that funds my personal entertainment and sustenance.
 
Plenty of folks getting done up like this. No idea why people worship corporations, if they were people they would be classified as psychopaths. Good luck on your new hustle but bootstraps rhetoric is not something that will work for the masses. Just look at poor folks hustling in third world countries for proof of that.
 
I'd totally try to get in to affiliate marketing if I knew a profitable niche that I was knowledgeable in and where to go from there. I already got the website making know how and have dabbled in something similar before so that's one step done.

I'm guessing videogames isn't a profitable niche to get in. :p

I would send a letter to ex coworkers and boss showing them how much do you earn now, you know... just to make your boss' blood boil.

Good on you MVP. Keep hustling. Fuck the cynical posters though. Obviously can't read any part of the OP correctly when it says you aren't trying to sell shit. If one of them wins the contest give the next guy the gift card.

Nah, I used to be into the whole SEO thing, making a website, building organic traffic to it, and hope people click on it or whatever, but it just takes too long. It can take months to get a site going that way, and then once it does Google can smack you and there goes months down the drain.

Paid traffic, I just make the advertisements (or stea*cough* I mean get inspired by any ads that I find), set aside a testing budget, run it, analyze the results, optimize and tweak, etc. I can get results in a day or two instead of waiting months.
