Yet, some of us are still here and doing fine. Of course we're not still trying to do exactly what we did 15 years ago, but with some slight nuances and varying approaches, the ultimate target is the same. Truth is, some will find a way to work effectively in an ever evolving business while others will not, or can not.

That said, I've always held the belief that you have the power to make yourself invaluable to a company. And that holds true for any line of work, from brick and mortar to online. YOU have the power to make yourself an invaluable asset.

So yes, there is definitely money to be made online, including affiliate sales.

In any case, thanks for answering the question. The majority of your posts seem negative and make you often times sound rather bitter. Whether true or not, I was genuinely curious, that's all.

Enjoy your evening.
