Does anyone really make much money doing the amazon affiliate thing? I'm genuinely curious -- anyone have any numbers they can share?
A friend of mine linked to a downloadable part of the tron soundtrack (a dollar or so a song). Someone bought the Adobe Creative Suite. My friend made $300 that day.
On a less "blind luck" side of the fence... if you have a blog with a few thousand hits per month, and you can just reference a product on Amazon on a few posts that month, you can get a pretty solid number of people clicking through.
