I myself don't quite understand how much money could be earned from affiliate links. It would seem that you would have to be an affiliate for many, many companies before you could even begin to earn a few dollars a month. Although, I don't care to admit I am not "up" on the latest ways of benefitting from this type of work. For me, the best way I can earn online is by working as an Independent Contractor doing customer service for a company. It's basically regular work like what goes on in B&M call centers, but I get to do it from home.
