Email Spammers making money and the amount of money they earn can be substantial. According to Chris Kanich and his team of researchers from UC San Diego, spammers can make about $7000 on an average day and up to $2M a year.

It is not that easy, a lot of expense and you might also get caught.

how old is that research?
when was the last time you had spam make it to your inbox?! I think major providers, google, yahoo, msn, etc. have gotten pretty good about filtering spam. same with spamhause and steve linford. much more powerful than 15 years ago.
personal opinion = spamming and making money from it is dead

Spam involves forcefully sending copies of worthless messages to Internet users, in a bid to make easy money. A person who sends spam is called a spammer. With the advent of spam filters and prevention software, the success rates of spam in email have decreased. The anti-spam prosecution laws, which were originally put in place to combat email spam, struggle to deal with web-based spammers.
Spammers send millions of emails each day. And to meet their targets, they accompany them with web-based spam. Every time a person responds to a spam message or clicks on a link, some amount of money goes to the spammer. The sum a spammer earns varies depending on the number of clicks and the number of successful responses.

About 500 messages every morning on my self hosted emails.
I don't use Gmail personally but several clients do and I manage their accounts, so I see lots of spam make it to Gmail promotions folder too.
If spam weren't highly profitable, nobody would do it.
