In reply to Mark Welch's post re: the Spree.com affiliate
program...

I have long been of the opinion that most, if not all affiliate
programs are a total scam and don't contribute materially to the
wealth of any of their participants. They remind me too much of
MLMers...

But then, I'm open to correction on this issue.

Is there ANYbody on this list who can honestly tell me from
personal experience that they are making good money from ANY
affiliate program? Can you be specific and tell me what program
this is and how much you earn per month from participating? <I
don't want to hear from Affiliate companies, who of course will
say they have plenty of affiliates making money, but no
specifics. I only want to hear from actual affiliates.>

Whether we are talking about Amazon.com or Spree.com, aren't we
really talking about companies trying to sell products at zero
marketing expenses, and doing so at the expense of those who
don't know any better? Aren't we really just talking about
scAmway with an internet front end?

Should be interesting to see if we get any response...
