When I was in college, I paid all of my expenses- food, rent, and out of state tuition doing affiliate marketing on the side.
This was not throwing up banners on a site, but rather running PPC campaigns to affiliate offers (arbitrage). I also learned incredibly valuable marketing/PPC/getting traffic skills I am applying to my startup.
Go to affbuzz.com and read all of the blogs there, you'll learn a lot about how to actually make money with affiliate marketing. (Step 1: Stop using CJ).
affiliate marketing = using $1 to make > $1. how to do it, varies from pple to pple, some use ppv, ppc, jv, etc. like @il said it...affbuzz.com is a good place to start.

What would you recommend in place of CJ? Direct affiliate relationships?
