Is it legit? Seems like people are making pretty good money doing it. I figured this would be a great spot to see if anyone had any experience with it, and tap the Planet's brain.

Probably depends on which type you're considering. In most cases, you have to slave to make any kind of real cash. My agency hires AM groups all the time to generate web traffic for clients, basically so that we can monitor and test analytics and perform search engine optimization. A lot of these groups use less-web-based tactics as well like writing reviews on products, attending trade shows, and even passing out fliers. Depending on your background, and unless your'e an experienced marketer already, it's going to be tough to get started. It's a performance based business, which usually means that it's a pyramid scheme. I'm not telling you don't do it, but you'll probably have the same luck selling Tupperware or Mary Kay.
