Who is making a living from affiliate marketing?

[humblebeginnings]

Yet another newbie question (sigh)...
Are there any of you making a living from affiliate marketing? I mean like most or all of your income comes for AM? And I don't mean doing AM for a boss but as your own business. And do you get your income mainly from a few familiar big affiliate networks or did you manage to find smaller affiliate merchants that fit your own specific niches?
The most daring question, I can't resist; wich one of you thinks he or she is the cash champ here? Who makes the most money from AM?
That's a whole lot of questions for a newbie aint it?

Thanks in advance for any respons, even for saying newbies ask stupid questions;0p

>> The really lucrative ones are the ones that no one is yet in, or there is one or two people

agree. There are already 2000000 sites on the "lucrative" fields

Noahj,

"Well..where do you find these "gems". How do I search for them."

The whole point is that if someone would tell you,
those gems would be mud by tomorrow...

We don't need the definition of Gems. We need to know which industries work, that already have successful Affiliate Programs for them. As an Affiliate.

Dont tell me Books is a good affiliate industry. Not at all. The ROI is the Key. ;)

Meanwhile, stay out of books, which hasn't made me rich, but it keeps going and going and going :)
