I feel like affiliate marketer is investing something more valuable than money, they are investing time. Time is not something you could make back, spending 20-30 hours to get more affiliates and earn money equals to your life having 20-30 less hours you didn't do something you enjoyed, if we all had millions of dollars in our bank account, not too rich to become billionaires and be super busy with stuff all the time but rich enough (like 4 million dollars in savings account, all liquid assets) to not care we would all spend our times enjoying life instead of working and do stuff we want to do instead of we have to do, so that 20-30 hours is not possible to make back.

If you invest money and lose, worst case scenario you could make it back some other way, but you can never take your time back so I feel like affiliate marketers are doing something much more important.

well , don't we all invest our most valuable asset - time into earning money and other , less important stuff ( like actually living )
affiliate marketers at least are earning money through others , saving time eventually
like John D. Rockefeller once said : "I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts." - can't be more true for affiliate marketers , the successful ones
because too many of them are only investing time and often money to get no profit because they didn't estimate the profit potential of an offer
or spent too much money on a low return ad etc. , it is not an easy job and more often than not you lose out
and of course , the psychology of a billionaire is not "I earn 1 billion and then call it quits and buy an island and drink and have sex on a beach till the end of my life"
once you get the taste of big money , there is no stopping , its a dangerous game ... I wish to participate in one day Cheesy

First of all affiliate marketing COULD pay from their pockets as well, it all depends on how they are doing affiliate marketing. I have done it for one place for example where I rented out banners from a website and put the banner of that casino in there with my link when clicked and I gathered a lot of people.

I didn't really worked too hard because it was simply paying one guy and sending him the banner and the link and that was it so I wasn't spending too much time there but at the same time I spent a lot of money, sure I made it back but I did spent a lot of money on there. So, affiliate marketers "could" spend money, I am not saying they will or they are but there are ones who do spend money to get your websites name out there and they are valuable assets to any casino.
