My site is about making money not spending it so it would be difficult to sell things (I think) Maybe that's the wrong perspective. So I focus on quality sites that make money and then I use them personally and refer people to them. You mentioned shady, I personally won't refer someone to a website unless I've used them and approve of them myself. Otherwise people wouldn't trust the recommendation I make and I would be shooting myself in the foot. Ouch. Sometimes it’s easier to generate leads rather than sales at least for me.

But for everyone one of them, someone is making money as an Amazon affiliate or something that's totally over the top legit. It's always the freaky bad apples that spoil the perception of full barrels, isn't it? Yeah, there are a lot of tight-lipped people who are on the shady side.

One thing I was doing was selling JDate subscriptions through Facebook. I basically found a JDate promotion through an affiliate resource and then made targeted facebook ads to direct people to my affiliate linked site. After building and tweaking my "landing page" and trying many different ad/demographic combinations, I found one magic combo that broke even. And then I saturated it until I was losing money again. (Facebook ads aren't free). I'm not affiliated, but www.nickycakes.com is one of the better AM blogs out there, and he's pretty free with information. (See the newbie guide) If I had the time I might get back into it again and keep trying, but my day job is giving me better prospects at the moment.
