>> Why not? Is it really a "secret"? It's not much money. Give me a brake. What is this forum for then anyways?

Give you a "brake" on what? $100-$200 is a lot of profit to be earning per day, no matter how much time and money you spend. If you meant $100-$200/day gross income, then do what mfishy said and spend $300/day on advertising. Otherwise you're basically out of luck; as much as people wish it, there's no real "get rich quick" schemes on the web with out a lot of time and a lot of investment.

>> How do they live off of $100-$200/month. If that is all they can make after months and months they obviously are not doing it right!

Nobody lives off $100-$200/month. But it's part of the process of getting to where you want to be. They obviously are doing it right, because most people lose money (especially at first). A startup site is lucky to make $0.10/day with no big upfront monetary investment for advertising. If you truly expect to be making a "measly" $100-$200/month right away, you chose the wrong business.

>> Yeah well I don't have a whole lot of time to goof around. It's not rocket science. Can't be that hard. I don't know why people are so secretive. What are they afraid of? I ask very broad and general strategy questions. Not about specific products or brand merchants or anything.

Actually, it is pretty hard. There's nothing secretive about it. Nobody's going to give you a step-by-step from start to finish of how to make $100-$200/day or even $100-$200/month, partially because (as stated previously) what works for one person won't work for another, and partially because nobody is going to be eager to have MORE competition. People who make lots of money online do so because they've found a specific niche with a small amount of competition and a relatively large return on invested money. I invested money for almost a year before I started making profit, and I now am able to live off of my online earnings (although I choose to keep a part-time day job in case something horrible happens). But it sure was a slow process, going from making a profit of $20/month to $50/month to $200/month and so-on. If you're not willing to invest the time AND the money, you're not going to be successful.
