AFF - How Much Money Can I Make As an Affiliate Marketer?

People new to online marketing may find themselves asking "how much money can I make as an affiliate marketer?" It's a fair question, and the answer is $12. Just kidding. There really is no limit to the amount of money you can earn. In fact, at the risk of sounding "hyped" and "unbelievable," you can truly become wealthy as an affiliate. In fact, this article will tell you how. It will also present you with a few examples of the kinds of revenues you may be able to generate by taking certain actions.

But first I would like to share with you my favorite thing about being an affiliate. For me, I like the fact that there are so many ways to work once and get paid repeatedly that I truly couldn't imagine doing anything else for a living. I've been a full-time affiliate marketer for nearly 4 years now, and the thought of trading hours and days of my time for one lousy paycheck actually makes me feel physically ill.

What Makes Affiliate Marketing Different?

For starters, you don't have a boss. But more importantly, you don't have limits. You can set up a website (or even a simple free blog), put a quality offer on it, and make money over and over again. One effort - multiple paydays. That's never a bad thing.

Another thing that sets affiliate marketing apart from a traditional job is that your online campaigns continue to work for you even while you sleep. This makes for some very exciting mornings when you check your affiliate accounts to see how much money you've made!

In addition, you don't have to stop with just one product or vendor. I regularly work for five different affiliate networks. Two of them pay me monthly, one of them pays me every two weeks, one pays me every Tuesday (direct deposit into my bank account at the stroke of 11:00 pm on the dot), and one pays me instantly via PayPal the instant a sale is made!

But let's get back on point. You want to know how much you can earn as an affiliate.

Earnings As an Affiliate

This is actually an extremely huge topic due to the countless variables involved. I would have to write a novel to cover them all. So for the sake of sparing you that fate, let me just say that the way I personally do affiliate marketing, which is SEO combined with email marketing, I can generate a LOT of sales each month. But let's say you make 100 sales per month, as an example.

There are so many different types of products you could promote. You could promote cheap physical products from Amazon that earn you 25 cents per sale. Or you could promote digital products from Clickbank.com that earn you 25 dollars per sale. Or you could even promote expensive membership training retreats that can yield you 25 hundred dollars per sale.

So those 100 sales you get each month could be worth a total of only $25 dollars to you. On the other hand, they could be worth a quarter of a million. The latter example is exceedingly rare, but for illustrative purposes, I think it does the trick.

Of course, it gets really fun when you start promoting products that have recurring billing. In other words, you can promote a product that pays you $44 per sale... or you can promote one that pays $44 per month per sale! When you start combining recurring traffic methods with recurring payouts, fast and exponential growth can commence before you say "I heart affiliate marketing!"
