    Yes you can make money with AM but it takes time and a lot of work. Don't start with PPC or you will quickly go broke. Using your fishnet stockings example (I wonder why this was the first thing to pop into your head?) - I would make a free 'fishnet stockings' site at Squidoo or somewhere similar, post some information, pictures and your affiliate links. Then write several articles about fishnet stockings and post them to ezine articles and other article directories with links pointing back to your squidoo. Then repeat the process with a different product, and another, and another and so on. Eventually you will start making money.

    Better still if you make one site for blue fishnet stockings, another for red fishnet stockings etc then link them all up together.

    Hi Grace,

    Thanks for your advice.

    What exactly is Squidoo?
    I visited the site but they talk about lenses and earning money from the lens etc.
    Is it a sort of web building affiliate?

    Many thanks

    Since my last post I am even more confused.

    Bought my own Domain followed advice on clickbank affiliates.
    Then I forwarded my domain name to my clickbank ID
    But of course, now my site can't get google indexing as its a forwarding site, so I can't get any traffic unless I pay for some!
    More money out, none in!

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I also made a free site at freewebs, so this is my interest really, but any advice on this site would also be greatly appreciated.
    As you can see, I am just experimenting, nothing serious, but I know I need help with it.
