Affiliate Marketing Secrets

A good stream.

I have looked endlessly.
I want an option to do some work online for just a couple of hours a day, i dont need to earn a huge amount just some extra cash for of the some things i want like a holiday or a new phone. I have found a few ways but to be honest i cant be bothered spending 30 minutes on a boring survey for just 50p.
The other condition is im in the UK so finding sites is a bit more difficult as alot only offer US residents or pay in dollars which isnt too much of a problem but i would prefer if it was a straight UK site.
SO, what ways are there to make money online? I was thinking about making a site with affiliate programs+ adverts etc.
What I want to know is what YOU have already tried and failed/suceeded in. I dont mind spening time making something like a website as i have the patience with more design work unlike surveys.

When you put an affiliate link onto your site, do you incur any expenses by leading the user to that site? Google and Linkshare in general.
Be nice to know if I am planning on building a directory with over 500 affiliate links.

I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for a while. I picked the marketplace of my favorite, generate a hoplink, and I put it in as the destination url and bought traffic to that site and it brought 6000 visitors to it. So far, I’m making no money.
What went wrong? Is it that I’m missing something or don’t have a website or a blog? Or is it that ClickBank is a scam?

Someone help me please!!!!!! When ever i click on a link to go to a site, i get redirected to some fake search site like ( DO NOT CLICK THESE LINK)

Those are just examples. Notice the very end word is the word i have done a search for in google. And when i clicked on armotors.com i got redirected to these sites. On the TAB in my browser it says Jump. and also when i click on the back button drop arrow key i can see the word Redirect in there. I am using Firefox and i have used malwarebytes, adaware, spybot, and found nothing,

My passion is movies and I want to start a blog but there are so many blogs I need a niche or do something different, what could I do?
