Amazon associates?
 

Anyone have tried this and is it pretty good? I signed up and got approved but got a notice stating i need to make 3 sales before they terminate it. If it's worth it I would just make 3 sales from my own self (purchase myself)

If i don't and they terminate i'm guessing you can't get back on again?

Seems this is kind of pressure oriented account have to make a quota always

No point buying from yourself. You can reapply if you don't get the 3 sales. So nothing lost.
I've had limited success with Amazon affiliates. I have a website that has product reviews with links to Amazon products. Probably makes $50 a month from about 1500 monthly unique visitors.

You cannot buy from yourself

No its not great at all anymore, the commissions are super low

The commissions aren't actually too bad (around 5%) in my category. Considering some businesses operate on a 5-10% profit margin.
It's just very tricky finding a niche that will attract enough visitors to make a decent profit.
