I used to make it a point to thumb through the payout checks of a 'big name' affiliate program that I was associated with a few years ago. They had in the neighborhood of 15,000 affiliates as I recall, of which perhaps 100 received a check every 2 weeks, and the great bulk of those checks were under $100.

A very few (5 or less) checks were for the 'staggering' amounts you all dream of...

It was a lot easier to make a buck in this biz in those days, so I'd be *really* surprised if so many folks who seem to do nothing but bs on message boards all day are making so much more money today.

Sure, there's a *very* small handful, but a far bigger number of bullshitters...
