I'm here to tell you that you're not going to reach that threshold, and they don't care.

Think of it as trying to keep a damp barbeque alight by throwing lit matches at it. A dozen or so matches aren't going to help at all, but once you start throwing hundreds or thousands of little flames at it, you have real bonfire going. That doesn't help you much, because you're just one match. You light up and burn yourself out - and for what? So a big company can make money from your efforts without having to pay you a cent. Doesn't make much sense, now does it?

You might be asking how the large porn sites keep their affiliate activity going if this is the case. The answer is; hope springs eternal. Every day, thousands of people just like you finally reach that point where they think; "Hey, I know. I can make money selling porn!"
