A Survey Breakdown On Money Made By Affiliate Marketers

From the above chart, it is obvious that close to 20 percent of affiliates reported over $1 Million in profit. Now, this is a lot of moolah!

If you analyze closely, the above can be broken down to six earning brackets in this industry.

• The Affiliate Trainee/ Intern – Who likely loses money.
• The Affiliate Beginner – Income range from $0/day up to $100/day.
• Low Level Affiliate – Income range from $100/day up to $300/day.
• Intermediate Affiliate – An Income range from $300/day up to $3,000/day.
• Top Level Affiliate – Income ranging above $3,000/day.
• The Super Level Affiliate – Those who make an average of $10,000/day.

Just remember that we are talking about profit and not revenue!

To explain this in detail, an affiliate making $90,000/month in REVENUE could be worse off than the affiliate making an assured $200/day as profit with no overheads.

So, just remember that profit is sanity and revenue is vanity.

Therefore, it is more of a wild fantasy, to calculate your annual salary, based on your daily income. In other words, if suppose you earn $2,000 on the first day of your affiliate marketing program, DO NOT assume that you will make about $750,000 for that year.

The biggest lesson that we have learned is that you have to start somewhere, and in all likelihood that your first attempt will probably end in failure.
