General Affiliate Income Question

[montauk]

It seems the more i read on various sites about becoming an affiliate the more profitable it seems. EG. if i get 2-3 sign ups a week at $30 im making more than actually playing poker.

Is there some catch in being an affiliate, because otherwise it would seem like a lot more profitable, or at least more people would be doing it, (bonus whoring gets thousands of posts, but affiliate 'whoring' hardly gets any).

I've read an example of one guy messaging people on my space and getting hundreds of sign ups which gave him thousands of dollars with just an hour or two's work a day. It must be tougher than that right?

thanks!
