Here are my goals as a poker affiliate in order of how I would like to achieve them:
1) get a good website together that I am proud of ... getting there slowly on this one
2) get 100 sign ups
3) create enough income from my website/s that I can do it full time.
4) get my brand into the WSOP and have it seen on TV

5) be well off that i dont have to worry about my financial state
6) make enough money to buy a small island and populate it with dinasours that I will bring back from the past and make a park out of it... ok maybe just a nice sailing boat then
And yes I think that you can still make a lot of money, I just think you now have to work a bit harder and have a bit more initiative.
