Has anyone made more than, say, a few (tens of) dollars a month, via affiliate schemes? I mean in the last year or two. Things might have been different earlier, that is why the condition.

And related question, is there an affiliate scheme for Amazon India? I had checked a few times earlier for the US-based Amazon affiliate scheme, and IIRC, each time it said that it was only for the US, or not for India.




My site makes a couple grand per month from Amazon commissions. You have to sign up for each different Amazon program separately (.com, .co.uk, .ca, .de, .fr, etc). There is a program for India.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.


Affiliate blogs are quite the cottage industry. (complete with their own dark patterns like PBNs)

Look at the listings on Empire Flippers and how many of the sites are affiliate based:

Good to know, thanks for that link. Didn't know of empireflippers.


wirecutter was pulling millions a year out of Amazon Associates, as are other big names.


Very interesting.
