"I could probably sit in a public library, pinning Amazon links a few hours a day and earn enough to get by."

--Really? I would have assumed that mTurk would have dropped the floor on this type of work.

Well, I don't pin a lot of Amazon links, but I make a bit from the ones I have pinned. I grind out about $200 a month now mostly from other affiliate programs and I'm not really trying. It's a side income that I keep thinking about expanding since it's working. I need to teach my kids to do it...

It takes forever to get paid though - maybe 3-4 month lag time.
