As with anything, noone is going to dump $1 million into your pocket - you have to work hard and learn a lot to get there.

Sorry, this is a big joke. Affiliate marketing is a good thing and can be a big business for small businesses (since they don't need to invest much upfront). However you should know the products you sell and you should being prepared that affiliate marketing is a hard job.

Hands off from people promising you to earn $X.000+ per month with their marketing scheme - this never works.

Tobias if you think like that then yeah it would never work for you. I hate to tell you but there are many many people pulling more then 1million a year through affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is a route to go if you dont like overhead costs or if you cant afford the overhead costs.

Yes it will take time and yes it will take more then 3hours a day. Skeptics need to read the facts and realize its entirely possible.

I think $1m is way far to reach. I think you should shot high. But realistic high.

I think $1,000,000 million is a good goal. I have already said this, people are pulling 1million a year off affiliate products. I personally know 4 people who have made over 1.3 million in a month. This is realistic IF you do you homework, understand the principles behind everything, dont skip steps and you stick to it while overcomming the obstacles. Its hard to get a hang of but the rewards are fun when you can hire people to do the work for you

**eautocad** · 07-27-2008, 02:23 AM

of course it is... you just need the traffic.

**jhr** · 08-04-2008, 02:23 PM

yess, its absolutely possible... if you can sale a diamond, gold, house, building, or else with affiliate profit about 10% or more.. and you sale more than 10 transaction a day... :P

**EdTheil** · 08-07-2008, 03:23 AM

It's all a poppycock pipedream. I challenge anyone to make one tenth of that.
Com on prove me wrong. Good Pluck

**spid4r** · 08-07-2008, 05:48 AM

I know a guy whoz making steady 2000+ /day from affiliate marketing alone . So its not impossible but need hard work and good technical knowledge .

You really disappoint me guys. Firstly, you shouldn't ask "can I make a million", you should ask, "can I make a dollar?" and if you can prove to yourself that you can make a dollar, profit, after all your expenses for running it (server cost, advertising cost, even, if you're big, employee costs) then you can make n x 1 dollar, where n is directly proportional to how much effort and intelligence you put into it.

As for "I'm sure that even the best can't pull it off", actually it is indubitable that many men and women in the world, a lot in the USA more than anywhere else I'd have thought, do indeed churn over a million a year from affiliate marketing.

The first time I tried it, a new kid on the block, fresh out of college, I earned nearly $30k in 18 months, without even knowing that it was going to work. Imagine what a sustained, careful, business-like approach to this sector can achieve? I myself am not sitting back and imagining it but am fully on the case.

The affiliate sector churns many billions of dollars of sales. Many thousands of millions.

This smattering of search results from go(rg)o(n)gle should give you some idea of how big the industry is...

You only have to look at the name brands who advertise on the affiliate circuit to see that this is a sector into which major investment has been flowing. And the bottom line is that (in the UK, probably the world's number 2 online market, after the USA, at least for a few more weeks, when China takes over as number 1 and UK and USA start fighting for second place) last year it grew by 45% which demonstrates that since I stopped using it back in 2005 to 2006, it has merely got bigger and bigger - and when I used it, from 2003 to 2004 mainly, it was already absolutely awe-inspiringly big and successful and brilliant.

Witness is entirely correct. For those of you who think earning money with affiliate marketing is impossible check out my story in thereal life stories of inspiration section. I have also ready witness's story. People who dont beleive would be surprised. If you say you cant do it, Trust me "you" cant. Simple as that.

**LordCyb3R** · 08-08-2008, 07:25 AM

It is totally possible, but a hard really hard work, you need high knowledge and spend a lot of time trying new techniques, focusing in several products. etc

**EdTheil** · 08-09-2008, 02:10 AM

Hey you guys that personally know all these self made millionaires from affiliate marketing. Lets see some names and e-mail addresses so we who doubt can contact your supposed testimonials personally. There is so much talk but no action on this subject. Names and contacts please? And please don't direct us to some baloney testimonial page. Good Pluck

**PPC Coach** · 08-09-2008, 09:48 AM

It's possible.

After a while, affiliate marketing is just like a big video game, you just try to keep beating your high score. For the doubters, you have to get over your own limitations first.

**nkthen** · 08-09-2008, 02:21 PM

Yes it is possible, and I met them before...

firstly I have shown you evidence in the main form - a citation of reliable data of earnings per page view of average sites, $1 to $5rpm, and since I can't right now make the effort to dig it up, please read all my posts until you find the right one, mr spreader of negativity. Secondly the links ON THIS THREAD that i posted demonstrate that the affiliate industry churns billions. The people this is shared out with include pretty much ONLY the 10s of 1000s of affiliates who are regular in the work, plus the companies... the top tier of affiliates all are earning above 50k a year, for their work is very profitable. A lot of them are under 30. these are estimates, but bloody good ones.

the evidence is there, and your arguments demonstrate a lack of facts and a lot of attention to rumours, fiction and fraudsters. try to open your eyes. well. just stop being negative. i don't mind so much if YOU don't make any money out of the web, but don't discourage anyone who has more than you have in the field of faith and ambition!

right now if i wasn't in a slump, rebuilding to new heights and, whether success feels assured or not, still waiting for my new business models to kick in, i wouldn't be posting on forums. you won't meet any rich people here, and you won't find any rich people sending you emails saying "yeah, i'm rich, how are you?", in fact rich people are so protective of their gains that a lot of them prefer to not even tell the government about their monies! something i personally disapprove of. we have the dominant industry here. let's not spoil it by giving the other side any excuse to take control of it.

One final bit of info taken from my affiliate account on the network i have chosen to hopefully pay me 1k a month profit from this summer onwards:

My earnings on 1 of the networks, in 2002 to 2003... (jan1st to jan1st)
33 sales, £1800 value (approx), £80 commission

My earnings on the same network, 2003 to 2004... (jan1st to jan1st)
276 £12,244.77 £592.77

2004 to 2005...
231 £12,694.82 £792.93

2005 to 2006...
279 £18,383.60 £1,377.51

I was also using 2 other networks, both of whom paid me significantly more overall...

year, sales total, comms total

2002, £1670, 78
2003, £29619, 2021
2004, £52263, 3570
2005, £5241, 3449
2006, £7910, 452

the third network makes it hard to see total of sales
year, comms, est sales...

2003, 1430, £20000
2004, 542, £6000
2005, 419, £5000
2006, 390, £4000

most importantly, my hosting all the way to 2005 was only around £120 a year, and there were almost no other costs

what went wrong is that I didn't know how to go forwards with what I had, and I wasted the money I did get, whereas today I have all that experience plus so much more, and am starting over... which is the best anyone can do.

What is it you are trying to say about people who do the business that I do? that we are not permitted to make millions, but ice-cream salesmen, or random business services, or shoe sellars - all these people, ANY business, in fact, can rise to millions per year, whereas somehow my business, online advertising buying and selling, you think can't do that? Why?

Actually the accountant who handled my stuff was upset that no one backed me or put any money in and that I built ALL of that on a shoebox budget close to zero. His estimate was that it could have risen to 5,000,000 annual turnover inside a short period, with correct investment and development. No one listened to him - he was my dad's accountant for many years, but my dad was deaf to the man's words. My dad's MANY millions have never funded my business. He made it all in property - which is all falling through the floor now. But he has so much, that it can never actually turn into nothing, so one way or another I will eventually get the power to drive my business upwards even if short-term methods to create a basic source of investment capital out of buying and selling adverts on the networks cleverly (and this time without exposing myself to harm from some big company like google) were to inexplicably fail. (any other form of failure can be used to figure out what doesn't fail).

Thanks for making me dig all that info out. In these times it will become increasingly useful for me to lay this evidence in people's faces, particularly if I have to bluff my way through more periods of living on diddly squat.

the numbers above show that during 2003 and 2004 combined, I generated £136,000+ of sales via for companies, as their affiliate, and I think I earned about 5 or 6%... so about £7000 for that batch
at a cost, in those two years, of a few hundred pounds
as a 23 year old novice, with no prior experience of anything (fresh out of a bachelor's degree in french literature)
with no help and no respect from anyone with regard my business acumen
and i failed by blowing it all on cars and girls

i didn't fail (to make 1,000,000+ a year through affil marketing) because it was an impossible feat - it was an EASY feat to go from £6000 from £150 (an ROI of pretty vast magnituted) to say 1,000,000 off some small some like £25,000. Had the businessmen around me, parents, friends, even the jackass accountant, had just pulled their fingers out, my riches, when they do come, would have been shared amongst all of them, instead of something I shall guard very closely and keep from all concerned, and certainly not give out my email address for random people to ask me if i'm rich.

as i said. i am here, talking to you, because i'm poor. something tells me you'll always be here, at this level.

[[nb the latter years, after the boom ended, were followed by a lengthy period in the ratrace, during which i found that earning 6k a year from affil marketing is MUCH more lucrative than a basic 10k job as a ratrace slave - the extra 4k goes on food and travel and **** office socialising, and so it's a choice between 6k for ALL your time and 6k for NONE of your time - pretty easy choice, mateys]]

**lap88** · 08-12-2008, 05:09 AM

It's possible for sure......
