I have a website that attracts about 100 unique visitors a day and it brings me <$100/mo via Amazon Affiliate. Getting bigger than that requires a lot more traffic, which requires doing things like SEO research and marketing work which I'm generally too lazy to learn how to do.

That's promising. Been meaning to set up something similar - with modest targets (<100)

The whole one income stream thing is starting to worry me out of principle rather than $$$.

For 3000 visitors/month Amazon pays $100? That seems quite a waste.

Not a waste. Last month I got 2800 uniques, 5300 views, and made about $50. The thing is, The blog is there anyway. It's truly passive income.

Well, I meant waste on Amazon side. But I guess all that money is paid by the consumer of those products.

traditional ads would earn maybe $7-15 on that amount in most categories
