you pitch other people's stuff to users. i.e. you pitch a weight loss company that sells a drink for $39.99, and a $10 bonus for affiliates. You basically pitch their stuff, by buying adwords and other advertising methods and hoping to drive paying customers. Basically the people I know who do this big time, start out small, then when they find something that works, they scale their campaigns by putting more money into it. Of course there is a huge risk, since a campaign might suck and you might lose money. The guy I know who did this, lost something like $15,000 before he learned how to do it properly. Now he makes something like 3K/day in profit on average. His record was something like 25K in one day.
