Wow, thanks for this reply, it's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I've checked out those forums and most seem to have a great deal of noise, however, the stickies you mentioned in BHW do have a lot of really useful information to get started.

If you can filter out the noise, you can find a few gems. I've had good luck with taking existing promotion methods (which everyone and their brother are doing) and putting a unique twist on them.

If you can think outside the box, you can do really well.

Making the first $10/day is extremely hard. Once you hit $10/day, getting to $100/day is pretty easy. Then $1000/day... :)

By promotion method, do you mean your landing page or the way you promote your landing page?

The latter. You'll generally see strategies based around a certain facet of internet advertising (buy PPC ad placement, do SEO, follow people on Twitter discussing the item/niche, etc.), but few people will combine them or leverage them in new and interesting ways.
