I've never made money for some reason. One reason I could never make it as a sales person. :(

I do so much, but never force to be paid. I was part of a whole issue back in the day when Wizards of the Coast and HASBRO bought out TSR, Inc. (role playing). The lawyers asked me to show them the web page I was running as a fan site. They blessed me and made it the only official site. I had to update my footer and all that. I did get donations when I was hosting all the scanned .PDF versions of rules and modules. I was told that if either WotC or HASBRO ever decided to resell the modules for Star Frontiers, that I would be given affiliate links and take down my .pdfs in lieu of those links. Never happened :(

I am a recent member of AMAZON VINE, but had not ever looked into the Affiliate thing; thanks for that. I see others' reviews that show PAID COMMISSION or the like and I am like, "seriously!? you get paid to show THAT mess up of a review!?" .. eg. one was a lady with long fake nails talking in a fake Southern Louisiana accent reviewing a $1500 Epson ST-C8000 all-in-one which I was looking into buying. "So, I THINK this is a printer ... and this is the power switch ... and I think, yeah, you lift this to scan .. " I was blown away that they got paid (in whatever way) to post something like that!

Most everything I do (hobbies, BBS, etc.) I do for me and my own enjoyment. In today's world, though, I wouldn't mind some Amazon Gift Cards! :)
