How Much Would You Guess the Average Adult Affiliate Makes in 2014?
 

Educated guesses please

thats an impossible question to answer. So many guys do it very part time...only one small blog for fun etc.

Im sure some guys make under $10 a day and I know others that make $30,000+ a day. Id guess 95% are much closer to the $10 number

That's what I'm guessing too, that there are mostly guys doing it for pocket-money :2 cents:

even if you get an answer it would be a worthless number anyway. Some people don't make anything others make a lot, what use would an average be to anyone in that sense?

very true. When dealing with huge numbers of people with such massive differences between the hi and the low, the avg number doesn't give you an accurate representation.

The average of the full time affiliates would be more interesting

No such thing. You can't compare one to the next. Hit me up and we will make you one of the good ones though. :)

How much would you say one of 'the good ones' makes?

As an affiliate.. I shouldnt care what others are making. Worry about my own bottom line instead of worrying about others.

More than you think. I have some affilaites making tens of thousands a month.

I have one guy, never done anything like this before, made $2k just from putting up a senior dating site and targeting some SEO keywords that you wouldn't expect.

Impressive Rochard :thumbsup

Are they doing things which you could easily replicate if you tried?

How about median income, not average? After costs of course.

I would predict the Median to be incredibly low, less than 100 bucks

"Making" or "grossing"? Most dating affiliates I know spend a ton to gross slightly more.

In answer to the original question, it's probably more useful to say that 95%+ of affiliates do not produce enough income to support themselves.

I've never just done one thing, half would not count and the other half I am not sure about and the 25% that is left is still a lot and that leaves me with a third that I do well with

the definition of average affiliate has changed

an affiliate used to be a guy who built free sites, galleries, etc.
now the ones seeing any success are more media buyer than true affiliate.

I'm seeing it not just in adult, but in the verticals I manage as well.

Shhhhh. :winkwink:

8-12 Ice Creams
Minus Chargebacks :2 cents:

Words to live by. :2 cents:

Nice question. I gues the ones that take it seriously are doinh around 10-12k $ monthly...

avg 400 dollars
Top dogs 8000 to 15000

couldn't give less of a fuck what the average affiliate makes. I'm all about what the top affiliates make, to give me something to strive towards. who cares if the 'average' is $15k a month, the important thing is that $15k a day is possible. Everything else is just noise.

I just like naked females do kinky stuff.

How long before affiliate programs cut out affiliates entirely?

Why does an affiliate program need an affiliate to go buy traffic, when the affiliate program could cut out the affiliate and buy the traffic themselves?

Fixed it for ya.

No, you didnt really fix anything. You'll no longer be an affiliate when the affiliate programs start paying you less because they are buying traffic themselves. It wont be worth the trouble and expense to you anymore. And without a worthwhile affiliate program to send traffic to, what exactly would you be an affiliate of?

Dating & Cams affiliates should be concerned.

There are no minimums and no ceilings. The sum that an affiliate can earn is related to the amount of work that said affiliate does. The major affiliates don't just put a banner on a blog and wait for the money to come in.

$50/month or less...

Used to be $700+ per month back to 2001 :(

$200 or less for the median. Lots of people are part time or have old sites on auto pilot slowly dying.

They have a way to deal with this already. It's called shaving. They just set the shave to 90% and then you stop buying. Then they buy the traffic themselves after you give up. :upsidedow I've seen accusations thrown about here about it before. It's one of those things you know happens.

Agreed signupdamnit ............
~ Interesting to say the very least. ~

The scammers make a lot, the honest people make nothing.

I don't know how much I make.
I just keep a website and server so my sig will work.

:1orglaugh

This ++++++

I'm happy with my tiny market share.
Bearly there,
Works for me ..... :)

Thanks for the tips. Your world just got smaller. :winkwink:

Are we only counting people who make a first world living at this? Or every idiot who's ever posted a link online?
