I attribute 90% of my online success to listening to the advice, beliefs, and attitudes of those who have already achieved success. A Sitepoint user posted a screenshot of his Commision Junction earnings from the past two months — $81,322.78. While screenshots are easy to fake, I am inclined to believe these are real. Whenever I’ve read his posts over the past year or so, I’ve seen him give out good advice again and again.
Not to mention that affiliate marketing is expected to hit $6.5 billion of revenue in 2006 $40,000 a month is quite far from being unbelievable.

So, what good advice has he posted today?

Market research is hands down one of the most important and overlooked processes by webmasters these days. Large and small alike. Why do you think the big boys are so darn popular so quickly? They do their research, and they continue to do so, nonstop. Every weekend, I dedicate hours and hours to market research on every single site I own, and all of the new ones I’ll be launching, just so I can keep myself well versed with everything in case a problem arises, or changes need to be made.
