One thing I have learned over the years is it is much easier and lucritive to work for yourself rather than your customers. After years of promoting my customers sites I finally realilzed that I could make more money, have fewer headaches, fewer deadlines, and more time on the golf course if I promote my own sites.

Can affiliates work? Yes and they can work very well. Will every affiliate program or affiliate based site work? No. There are probably many more that will fail than will succeed. As many people have mentioned so far, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Try to have different sites, different programs, and different revenue streams coming in. If you get a site built, get is positioned well on the search engines, and make nothing on it than smile, go have lunch, come back and try again. If you keep at it eventually you will find something that will work for you.
