Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Does anyone here consistantly get checks every month from affiliate programs online and if so what are they?

I got email from someone that showed how much he made. He made $500,000 two month and all he had to do is just promote a clickbank products or other affiliate programs and let it do it all by itself and he get paid even while he slept at night. It was so easy. Why can’t we just work easy for money instead of working hard as many think?

I am trying to research what affiliate programs are and how they work, I know of googles programs, but I am not sure what they are and how they work, if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.

After putting money into marketing my website and such, Google Adsense cancelled my account and all the payments that were coming to me (costing me money actually) and suggesting that there was something suspicious about the clicks or the site traffic. They don’t provide details or allow one to have time to dispute any such claims.
Anyway, I’d like some suggestions on good adsense alternatives. I’ve tried some but hopefully I can get feedback from persons who have used these services. One that I looked at was going to make me wait 60 days till I got my first payment. That is unreasonable and ridiculous in today’s information age.
I also don’t want to use a site that is notorious for cancelling accounts with no warning, because they think that the clicks or the traffic is not valid.
Also, if you can provide tips on affiliate marketing – I’ve signed up with two. One is clickbank. Do they have products that pay a certain amount monthly – which would mean a product would have to be a subscription service? Thee is also the site I found when I wanted to sell products for Barnes and Noble – they work with a company that handles affiliate programs.
Any other suggestions on affiliate marketing?
And adsense alterntives that don’t make one wait 60 days for the first check?
Thanks,

this little question noone has been able to CLEARLY answer. I am creating a blog where I take pics from different clothing sites and post them together for ppl to “get the look”. I have also looked into store affiliate programs, not sure if i wanna do that just yet.
my question is, How can i have these pictures posted where I dont get in legal trouble? Do I have to contact each site individually and ask permission to use each and every pic? Fashion for the most part is time sensitive information so I dont wanna have to wait until something is no longer in season before I get permission to use a pic because I am not in a location where I can go to more stores or fashion shows.
I would appreciate if someone gave me a straight answer or send me somewhere that I can get answers to help me.

I was contemplating doing one. They don’t cost any money except to purchase a domain name. I do know they require you to fix any problems that may occur with the site, from a control panel at the site. That might be a bit of a challenge for me, I would think.
Then there would be the advertising. If done by email, anything other than ‘permission based’ email marketing is not tolerated.
Any information would be helpful. Good stories, bad stories, advice, places to advertise, etc.
