Let's get down to the bare facts. Affiliate marketing is often the first path people take to generate revenue online, but it's not likely to be lucrative. Why? Because:
1) The price of the products is low, and therefore commissions are small.
2) The products may not be suitable for your list (if you have one), or the lists you use.
3) There are many affiliates promoting the same products to the same audiences.
4) You are using a hands-off approach that relies on volume, and you can't justify the cost of the volume with the commissions that can be earned.
5) If the products are expensive, then sales need to be done by phone, and you don't want to do that or can't do that (depends on the funnel).
There are several ways to overcome these limitations...

For example, you could create your own products and stance in the market. But that sounds like a lot of work, and what is your stance? What do you have to offer? Generally, this approach usually grows out of an existing business, where you have a particular expertise and can either use online marketing to grow that business, or you can develop online products with that expertise. If you have a business or want to start one, then I can help you with that here.
If you are looking for a side income and don't want to give up a job, then the best path is to leverage an existing business that offers high-end affiliate products and handles the back-end sales for you. One of the best choices in this area is a business called MOBE. I am an affiliate with this company and the products have an intrinsic value that justifies the high prices. In fact, the products provide high-quality business training and that means they will also help you start a business or grow one you already have.
I recommend you check out their 21-Step System, which takes you through fundamental business training with actual coaches, and then leads you to the high-ticket affiliate system that you can leverage. If you don't get intrinsic value from this 21-step program, get a refund. If you like the training and like the affiliate system, you can get more deeply involved. The choice is entirely up to you.
In addition, the training includes hands-on guidance with current technology, and that is what enables location independence, i.e., work from home or anywhere you like. If you follow my page on Facebook, SF startup@bizdynamo, you know that I was part of the engine of change in Silicon Valley. It is absolutely worth taking advantage of the "outputs" from Silicon Valley to change your life, whatever your feelings are toward the pace of change in our modern world.
