How much are the TOP, best of the best, affiliates making? (26)

---

Does anybody here have an idea or possibly even know how much money the best/wealthiest affiliates are making, are there some who make xxx,xxx/day or more? Just being curious...

---

Not consistently. Some affiliates have days that big.

Figure 500k - 5 million a year profit for the bigger guys.

You'll here a lot of stories of big days. But consistency always wins the race.

---

I do 5 figures everyday running other peoples offers.

What others make doesn't matter if you can't make your first $1, then $2, then $5, then $10 and so on..

---

Really? I don't know if I remember correctly but I think there was a thread on the warrior forum where a guy said he knew several cpa affiliates how made as much as six figures/day.

---

I completely agree with you, but I was just being curious and looking for some inspiration, you being one of them now.

---

Probably revenue. Profit and revenue are very different things.

---

6 figures is very possible, though i cant prove it. take a look at the offer owners traffic

---

Never believe a word you read on there.

---

I run a diet offer and some of our affiliates are doing on average $3-5K per day with consistant conversions, I have had Skype calls with guys who say they can do 1,000 conversions per day which i genuinely believe too. I personally know an affiliate who does $1M per month but these types of affiliates are the people who like to be heard of, but not seen….

---

I won't name names but know of a guy that did 100k a day profit. no idea how long it lasted

---

Mid $XX,XXX a day is very achievable as an aff with the right set up.

There are quite a few that had a freak 6 figure day or two. But I don't know any aff who is constantly doing $xxx,xxx profit constantly.

---

Only aff I know that does xxx,xxx/day (Gross) is Viglink.

---

@ OP , who the fuck cares what others are making? why limit your potential by setting goals using what other people have done.

---

I am still struggling in having stable 5figures day....

---

I know 2 guys that were hitting 6 figs constantly. But later they got arrested so I guess something shady was going on.

---

LOL, you think?

I assume the original poster was asking about what kind of numbers are possible with AM without being arrested.

---

6 figures is a huge amount of conversions per day. there are very very few markets that could support that as a regular affiliate.

say you're pushing diet. your pay out is 40usd per cv.

to make 100,000 rev you would need 2,500 conversions per day. if you wanted 100,000 profit with 100% roi you would need 5,000 conversions per day.

if your landing page converts at 2% then you need 250,000 visits to your page per day.
if you are doing banners, assuming a very generous 10% ctr on FB, you would need 2,500,000 impressions per day.
with a 1% ctr you would need 25,000,000 impressions.

that's a hell of a lot of diet pills!

---

though now that i look at the numbers. i suppose that is doable..... somehow

---

Let's not forget the billion dollar affiliate companies like money supermarket, compare the market etc. Too many of us are just worried about our traffic, landing page and offer and just see companies as something else but if you look a little deeper they have taken affiliate marketing the next level. All they do is compare the prices of different mortgages, insurances and other offers and get a commission. Doesn't that sound familiar? Look in other niches like travel and you will also find these monster affiliates... You don't have to be shady and get arrested to get ahead in this business... In fact some of these companies are now trading on the stock exchange.

---

Actually that's precisely what I'm interested in.

---

Exactly, especially when you think about the fact that on websites like sitescout.com for example, there are BILLIONS of impressions available each day, we're talking 30+ billion impressions every day.

---

I think you need to differentiate between

1. Solo affiliate marketer working through affiliate networks
2. Larger teams/companies that may work through affiliate networks but also work on exclusive or privileged terms with advertisers.

As for 1, it would be very difficult for such players to sustain consistent profitable numbers on over $10 million revenue a year. There are those who do so, but it is very rare, given the peculiar dynamics of this industry and in particular, the significant complexities and barriers to scale.

As for 2, yes, as hangman mentioned, companies like Opentable, Tripadvisor, Zillow, are all affiliate marketing outfits in the broadest sense of the word. Such operations can easily reach $9 and 10 figures + of revenue per year.

---

Well I was mostly thinking about affiliates who have teams and employees, like iAmAttila.

---

I am curious on what the median affiliate is making. Too many pyramid comparisons is not healthy. There is always the top % that make bank, but MOST affiliates will never make it by design.

---

If you average every person that attempted affiliate marketing in a given month, I suspect the figure is closer to $1,000/mo/affiliate

Judging by the distribution of sales generated by multiple affiliates during a recent launch.

---

yes, and this may be the "endgame". I think it is possible these days to start as a solo, go to some model like Attila does and grow things even more.

I personally believe it heavily depends on a) your entrepreneurial skills and mindset (no limitations) and b) how clever you re-invest your profits...

However, you may not be the next Facebook or Google but I think when going "niche" it would be possible to be one of the next trip-advisors or similar (poker is also a good example for this. online poker schools get a little share of every real money bet you place... )
