Amazon affiliates don't pay out that much. I have made a little from it, but nowhere near what I'd like.

I had one affiliate that paid out 10%, that was good, but they quit doing the affiliate thing.

I have switched to individual, select advertisers (although the A-Store and a "Recommended Reading" ad are still there). I now have two. I haven't really pushed it, other than putting up an "Advertise Here" page, as I'm not sure how many ads I want. I highly recommend others do that also.

I'm also planning on selling a few lighthouse items direct. I will see how that goes before commenting on the advantages/disadvantages.
