There are A LOT of advertisers on the Net now promoting affiliate marketing and internet sites selling digital ebooks and other such products, using techniques that could be called both questionable morally and ethically, or even legally. What do you all think about all this? One such book recently that is very popular is called The Rich Jerk....it is popular, but gives advice to people to use tactics that are morally unethical...thus, the term "rich jerk"......do we want to let them get away with this crap? Seems like the search engines themselves will start changing their entire set-up of their programming to prevent these scam artists from making money off of them.....most of these people claim to have made "millions at home" from these tactics. Anyone actually tried some of them and it worked....anyone actually tried them and then felt guilty for the tactics used to make such money? Anyone wonder if the legality of all this is going to come down on these people one day?

Its not right but more and more companies are doing this. Right now not that many laws about it. Its going to keep the federal government and state governments busy enacting laws about this. Be kind of tough to catch but it will make law enforcement and lawyers busy in the future.

I have been planning to start affiliate marketing for a long time. I have read the ebook "Beating Adwords" and since then I became truly fascinated by internet marketing. In the ebook the authors say that the amount of money you make by affiliate marketing is equivalent to the time you put into it. Is it true? I am hoping to achieve at least 10,000$ a month and I am ready to work night and day for it. Is there anyone who can really prove that affiliate marketing can really be that profitable? I am becoming a little doubtful as it sounds too good to be true.
Just so its clear. I want to be an affiliate and promote other products on my own website.

The truth is you could make a decent living but it's a cut throat industry and you really have to know what you're doing while putting in a lot of time to perfect the craft. I'd suggest to do a lot of research before committing to any campaign and be prepared to suffer some set backs before you start making any significant money.

When I first started, I was lucky to make $10 a week. I did a lot of trial and error and went through some learning resources online. I make anywhere from $100-300 a day now typically working 4 to 5 hours a day. I also have a full time job as well so it's nice to have this additional income coming in.
