Also, are you counting the length of time it takes you to learn everything you need to know to get it right by reading SEO blogs etc? I've been studying SEO blogs like source-wave.com and backlinko.com in my spare time for about 3 months as a hobby, and though recently I just started hitting the SERPs for my keywords, I haven't yet made any money. But that was just my learning curve, at least I'm on my way. To make the site took about 2 weeks (I'm a newbie, so it took ages), and to rank on page 1 it took another 2 weeks. I'm expecting it'll take another few months before I start making any significant passive income that I can actually enjoy, but thats just a guesstimate. Amazon might be faster because you have cheaper products, the products I'm selling in my niche site are all more than $3k each so its not so easy to make a sale (but all the traffic is in buying mode). If I was selling cheaper stuff, maybe I'd have made a sale by now? But I like it.
One thing about Amazon - the customer has 24 hours to buy something and if they don't, what they buy the next day won't mean anything to you, you won't get paid (thats not so bad with cheaper, whimsical products I suppose). Some other aff. programs have cookies that last a few months (like my current project), while Seocheckout lasts forever (my next project!). That might be worth thinking about when looking for affiliates. Depends on [I]everything[/I]. Like, are you working full-time or can you do your sites full-time? How good is your niche and keyword research? How are you promoting them, with a site? How is the on-page SEO? The off-page? What colour is your hat?
