Who do you promote? There are plenty of sales still out there. Sure, it's not easy cash 1999 anymore, but there are an incredible number of people still joining paysites.
As Old Jeff said, you can't compare it anymore to the "old days" even though it is fun to do so. What we have is NOW and either you can make it in today's business or you can't. It will never be like it was before so it's not even worth bitching about anymore. I had to break myself of the same habit and totally refocus and rethink everything I was doing and the end results are that I'm making more money online in 2013 than I have in the past few years, so that means sales are up. Yea, I have those weeks everyone else has where things so down, but generally things are moving forward, not backwards.
I used to be a HUGE complainer of tubes, and I still dislike them. I hate pirates and love to take jabs at them when I can, but they are not going anywhere anytime soon and neither am I, so I've had to change my game plan and let loose of what I can't change and focus on what I can.
Either you can function in today's market or you can't. No shame in finding another job if you can't, you gotta do what you gotta do. It sucks, yea, but it is what it is. I work in small niches, with small sites, with small amounts of traffic, and I've learned how to get the most out of what I have and try by best to not complain too much about the way it used to be, because that is over. Gone. Never coming back. I can bitch about it or I can spend that time working on the things I have found that do still work.
So you either need to rethink it all and make a new game plan, or find another job. But know that there is plenty of money still to be made out there.
