allright, after playing with arbitrage and starting to understand the marketing models i want to give affiliate marketing a try.
i took a look at all the networks i am part of now and have found, that they differ quite much in terms of product quality. there is cj on the one hand, which offers brand names (but has a bad reputation about which i need to learn why that is). then there are azoogle, copeac, xy7 and the like with what i would call the 2nd and 3rd tier of products.
now, especially the last ones have a huge variety of zip/email offers that seem easy to fulfill if marketed right, but then i started calculating.
if there are only 1.000 people like me wanting to push these offers and let's say they make a 100 conversions a day, then someone has to pay a $100.000 a day for getting some email-addresses!?
i understand that the provider of these service aims for converting those emails and zips into completing a range of other more or less expensive offers, but still.
is the market (we are talking about a single offer!) that huge? am i even underestimating the potential here? please correct me in any way possible, so that i get an idea what the whole market is about in terms of numbers. it is hard to find these figures anywhere. thanks!

i find it a bit hard to believe that someone is paying 30 millions a month, because 1.000 affiliates bring in 1.000 leads a day each to them. but i guess i won't know until i test the limits of the markets, so yeah, i better start pushing leads now until i hit 10.000 a day
