Broadly speaking, affiliate program seems including everything, no matter as hot as pay per click advertising or as old as pay per impression or pay per sale or lead marketing. So, it is true that all businesses, no matter big or small, are making money online with affiliate programs. The doubt is only how to select suitable affiliate programs to make money.
What is a partner? What is an affiliate? A partner is an associate who works with others toward a common goal. An affiliate is a subsidiary or subordinate organization that is affiliated with another organization. It seems the difference is there but the basic meaning is the same – for sharing benefit.
For home base business, affiliate programs have huge advantages: 1. no hustle and be your own boss; 2. with low or even no cost to set up; 3. no hard task to deal with, such as customer service, shipping or inventory management; 4. high income potential and keep running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, no holiday no stop and sales everywhere.
Based on individual company’s policy, there are some rules that do not allow you to sign up all affiliate programs, such as PPC search engines or gambling affiliate programs may be not compatible. Meanwhile, you may know that every company has its minimum payout and commission rate is different.
In my personal experience, I strongly recommend you sign up third party for your affiliate programs. This will bring you two major advantages: one is save your time; the other is collecting your money together.
There is thousands of individual affiliate programs offered on the internet, many being through third party affiliate program networks such as Clickbank, Commission Junction Linkshare and so on. These companies connect a large number of advertisers and publishers together via their own network.
As a publisher, one registration gives you access to tens, even hundreds of advertisers simultaneously. Tracking partner performance is easy: there is only one technical support contact and easier to manage, like only using one user id and one password. The payment is received as your monthly revenue. Another is third party check affiliate programs’ credit and reputation.
Payment thresholds can often be fairly high – a $50 US minimum is common for international publishers. Finally, a payment delay of two months or more from the date of a sale/lead generation can occur often. Not mention some affiliate programs have been known for not fairly treat affiliate to track sales and leads properly as honestly as they could be. Not mention some affiliate programs announce they are not responsible for missing check. Can we ask whether they really send check?
For those big affiliate programs, like Google AdSense, Amazon, you may participate directly with their affiliate programs.
How should you choose an individual affiliate program? My suggestion is not to choose a affiliate program only according to the payment scheme, but rather according to the kind of people who are likely to visit your website, it means relevance. For example, if you are targeting home based business on your site, links to affiliate programs with school recruiting program, text-books sale and the like may generate less revenue than banners that link to paid survey companies. The most important rule of choosing an affiliate program is to know your target audience.
Another suggestion is not necessary to join every single affiliate program that comes your way. Some gurus suggest that sites that make the most money from affiliate programs are only sign up a small amount of affiliate programs.

yes it is true, however if you don't know the industry that your getting involved in, then you will need some help and training.
There are a lot of different home based business opportunities out there to get involved in. All with great income potential. I know quite a few people who have their own home based business that make an incredible amount of income running a simple business from home. Home based businesses do not cost a whole lot of money to get started either. They don't have the over head that traditional business have either. Almost everything in your home becomes a tax write off. Things you use every day.
I think the best one is in the telecommuniations industry with the largest direct selling Telecommunication service provider in the world. They are 15 years old with head quarters in Farmington Hills Michigan, Charlotte North Carolina, Amsterdam, Sydney and Montreal. They have been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc. Inc 500 rated them the 22nd fastest growing company in revenue in it's first five years. They are registered with the BBB and FDSA as well.
They market in services people use every day and pay for anyway. Services like Local and Long Distance telephones, Internet, Digital, video phones, Satellite TV, and all the major cellular phone companies like T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Nextell, Altell etc as well. We save people money and make money at the same time. Every single month these people pay their bills, we make a percentage over and over again each month. Donald Trump has endorsed our company and uses the services as well.
How many people do you know, or know of around the world that uses one or more of these services or products? . A lot of people right? You can save them money and make money.
If this is an industry that you would like to learn more about, you should contact Tiffany at kaiden4@aol.com and she can answer any questions and go over everything with you.

I would have to know more details or check out your links to better evaluate. I can tell you this. The key to making it successful is to build traffic. Not just any traffic either. Targeted is vital. I would definitely not give up. Do more research and find solutions. The same goes for your portfolio. It is great to have the portfolio online, but building traffic to it can make all the difference.
BEST WISHES!

If you make under 600 a year in these programs, it does not have to be reported as income, and therefore doesn't count against unemployment

You could always buy stuff low and sell it high on ebay. A good way to find cheap items on ebay is using an ebay misspelled auction finder like http://www.yourtypos.com/
You don't need to register , its free and its safe !
Its safe because your only dealing with ebay and can you really make money ? Yep , some guy bought a collectors beer bottle for 16$ (was misspelled) and he sold it for 500 000$ . Thats just one example , you might not make that much but you can definately save alot of money . I found a few mountain bikes that way for dirt cheap.

Bgood is offering you a scam of the first class as a reward for your doubts. Her story is actually not hers, it travels around the world for a decade now.
Now to your question: The only online programs that really work are those you control with your own website (not company replicated), with products and services you believe in and that are in demand by the majority of population, which in turn you can market worldwide with the use of Internet.
Product and service must have a repeat customers so you do not have to constantly look for a new buyers. I am forwarding you a link with a lot of detailed information on how it actually works, including real case studies and real contacts to people who had actually done it.
$2,000.00 a month net is very realistic to achieve in very short period of time with much higher growth potential. Just take your time and read it all.
P.S.
GDI for example was offered to me by many people during the last 7 years but I still have to find one person who is making at least $2,000.00 a month net consistently for at least one year.
