how much does an affiliate marketer make

First of all, let’s assess the claims about earnings.

We don’t have to guess at this. During the Affiliate Summit over 1,800 affiliate marketers answered a survey describing everything from their methods to their earnings.

How much were they bringing in?

Well, only 46% earned less than $20K while 8% earned $50K-$100K and 12% earned
$100K+. At the very least, this shows it’s certainly very possible to earn big money. (The
rest were around the middle, but note that 19% elected not to answer at all.)

What’s also interesting here though is the sheer spread of earnings.

Affiliate marketing is bringing in from $20K to $100K and beyond, which you just don’t find in traditional careers.

So what’s making the big difference here?

It’s the skill of the individual.
As an affiliate marketer, you’re self-employed and working alone. There’s no need to
‘climb the corporate ladder’ or to compete for promotions. You can get to the top
overnight if you have the right skills because it’s all on you.
