I think that was the piece that surprised me the most -- how many of these winners were eager to cash out in order to pay off the "hangers-on" who wouldn't leave them alone as long as they knew there would be another check in X months. (Only stated as such in one or two examples, but implied in several others.)
I'm not really using my Amazon store as a store, not promoting it or anything, so I'm not getting any traffic. I just like it for the format, it's a cool place to catalog stuff I'm interested in for anyone to see without them having to create an account (like some of the "library" sites require.)
I've been an associate forever. It's pretty easy, and I like making links with the possibility of tracking the number (no other details) of clicks I get. I think one month I actually "earned" some money, but it didn't meet the minimum threshold (I think it's $5) to get paid, so I never actually saw it.
