You can choose to find an affiliate offer that converts great for your niche, and make over $150 for 1000 clicks ( find an offer that converts 1:100, and that's totally possible for some niches/traffic ).
Even almost two identical offers might give completely different results in earnings, you really have to try different offers or switch landing pages to see what works...
Or you can sell your traffic to AD Networks and make a couple of cents, which I never really understood... It's the safest bet for sure, but also extremely low.
Why not stick with Rev Share or Pay Per Sale (or even some PPL) offers man, it's almost impossible to earn less then the rates you'll get from Ad Networks. Even if you have only a single sale a week ($25 - $50), it's probably still more then you'd be earning with an AD Network (unless you really have huge amounts of traffic).
