Have you made $1000 on Amazon associates?

I'm really interested in how long it took you to earn your first $1,000 with the associates program. I've only made $200 in three months, and I know that's not a huge amount. When I hear people saying they're making $10,000 a month, I can't help but hope to reach that level of income through affiliate marketing someday.

Could you share your experiences with Amazon Associates?
