What’s the affiliate marketing income per month? According to Glassdoor, $93,968 is an average to the total pay for affiliates (all years of experience) which equates to $7,830 per month.
However, this figure drops to ($69,634 per year) for those who are in the first year of being an affiliate, or $5,802 per month in the US.
As your experience increases your income is likely to rise accordingly too. Glassdoor reports a yearly income of $118,050 for affiliates with 15+ years of experience which is $9,837.50 a month.
Self Employed Affiliates Vs. Salaried Affiliates
See also affiliate marketing average income. The image below shows the pay scale for affiliates for the 2016 Affstat report. As you can see, most affiliates will fall into the annual earning bracket under $20,000. Top earning affiliates are in a minority according to this, with 17.12% of affiliates preferring not to answer.
Here’s the earnings according to emoneypeeps (self employed affiliates):
- 90% Of Affiliates Earn Between $0-$10,000 per year
- 7% Of Affiliates Earn Between $10,001-$100,000 per year
- 2% Of Affiliates Earn Between $100,001-$1,000,000 per year
- 1% Of Affiliates Earn Over $1,000,000 per year
As you can see there’s quite a disparity here. 90% of self employed affiliates earn between $0 and $10,000 a year, according to this. The higher earning levels indicated previously by Glassdoor are salaried affiliates – affiliates working for a company. Affiliates who work for themselves on average see much lower earnings, not even including their total profit which is usually lower than their total income (factoring in advertising and running costs).
Affiliate Marketing Income Per Month – Beginners
A beginner affiliate always starts in the same place as any other affiliate – at zero. Because affiliate marketing is a performance based business model, you have to make your first affiliate sale before you’ll make anything as a beginner. Even then, after your expenditures on business tools, training and advertising, you likely won’t make a profit on a single sale.
This is why for beginners the affiliate marketing average monthly income falls between $0 and $10,000 a year, or $0 to $833.33 per month. Of course your potential income will depend on many factors. See also how fast can you earn money from affiliate marketing.
