making $5000 from $2000? that's 150% ROI and believe me, although there are keywords out there that can give you that return, they won't give you enough volume to reach your revenue target.

I like to compare affiliate advertising with player poker:

1. lot's of people play it, most lose money
2. you can be a professional player, but you need skill and experience
3. you can't win big if you don't play big

So don't see it as a new career, but as a hobby until you actually make money.
